Lock cylinder came w/o new tumblers

Ordered this: 5073357AA

But missed that new tumblers were not included. Where do I find replacement tumblers? I can't take them from the old cylinder because those are probably damaged.

Hopefully the dealer would have a listing for a kit that has an assortment of them. It's too bad that an assortment wouldn't be included with the lock cylinder the way Ford does, then it's a simple matter to get your key code and build the lock cylinder.

If Dodge sells them singly, they should be able to look up the key code and tell you which ones you need (if the partsman is competent), or you may be stuck with taking it to a locksmith to be assembled.

I know right? I figured I'd rekey the new cylinder to my old key/fob and I'm good to go.

Will keep digging.

I dropped the new lock cylinder at a local locksmith and had them key it. $27 out the door plus an extra skeleton key.

Wow, that was painless! Hardly worth searching all over for parts. Hope the rest of the repair goes as well.

Definitely worth it.
The cylinder swap went easy. Biggest was breaking the clips on the switch plate when I pulled it from the door panel.
