Well, I'm back again at chasing some small parts for my 98.5...
I did not find anything online, so I came here to ask.
I need the small clip that holds the window crank on it's shaft,
I would like to get all the rods and plastic clips for the door locking and opening mechanics in both doors, mine are very rusty and the plastic clips are brittle.

Anybody got anything?

Thanks!

Have you tried LMC Truck online?

AlpineRAM

Yep, tried LMC and Rockauto.

That's one of the bad this about old Mopar. They can be hard to find parts for. I have a good friend that works for dodge in there parts department. He has found me some new old stock in the past. You might try your dealer. Some of the parts are out there if they're willing to look.

I am guessing with Markus being in Austria, calling the "local" Dodge dealership is tough.

Yep, our "local" dealers are less than satisfactory for sourcing parts.
Some years ago I needed the passenger side mirror glass. I asked them, got a quote for a little over 800 € (only the whole mirror assembly available as a spare), time to delivery estimated 3 months, needs to be installed by them, with an estimate for labor around 600 €.
I said "no thanks"- got the mirror glass from a fellow DTRonian for about 30 € including shipping, sent him a letter with US$ notes inside, clipped the mirror glass myself..
Then got a lot of calls from them asking about "customer satisfaction"
I will not quote or paraphrase my answers here... it would be against the rules..
