Does anybody know where I can but the plastic piece that connects the tailgate handle to the rod that opens the latch. It really stinks to have to reach under the handle and try to grab the latch to open tailgate. Any help would be great.

 

when i had a difficult time finding parts for our trucks i got on the internet and searched but i ended up finding parts for these trucks and chrystler dealerships in oregon is where i have found several parts for my truck i hope this helps

 

Thank you, what dealership? it's weird that you have to go to another state to get OEM DODGE Parts I know this stuff is out there but nobody want's to take the time to look them up.

 

i get alot of stuff from partstrain.com but not sure bout tailgate parts but i lucked out there a scrap yard 30 miles from my house and it's a guy that has lived there since the 60's and has nothing but mopar parts. TONS OF OLD DODGE TRUCKS!!!!!! so i get alot of my stuff from there too

 

If you're talking about the little plastic grommets that press fit onto the ends of the rods, you can find 'em at any parts hourse in the 'Help' section. I found mine at NAPA, about $5 for a pack of four. You need 2 white ones, and 2 black. Don't know what the difference is, I guess different compounds of materials. You should also get a bunch for your windshield wipers, 'cause it's only a matter of time before they go bad too.

 

the fealership if i remember is routeuge crystler if i remember right
