Angry Lost my center cap

I lost one of my wheel center caps for my 05 3500 while going down the highway yesterday

The car behind me pulled up next to me pointing and shouting,(nice of him to notice), but what am I supposed to do at 70 mph?

Does anyone have a link to who besides the dealer carries them?

Thanx in advance

Rick

Check ebay or www.hubcaphaven.com .....were your wheels & tires serviced recently ? Those center caps are tough to remove...hard to imagine one falling off unless it wasn't installed correctly after wheel removal.

I lost mine as well, went back and found it but it was scratched and dented.

www.hubcapzone.com has them for 40 bucks a piece and ships pretty quick, thats where I ordered mine.

You can try ebay as well. Usually youll find whole sets up for sale.

One cap is NOT worth reporting to the insurance.

Are these the chrome caps or the gray ones? I have a set of gray ones I'd sell for $50...

I know they are hard to get off and I had the tires rotated 5k miles ago so go figure

Chrome caps with the same wheels as a Powerwagon.

Thanks for the links guys.

Ouch!! 45.00 ea!!!! I'll check the local salvage yards tomorrow and let you know what I come up with.

get the part number from your dealer, then go to www.dodgeparts.com and enter mechanical catalog. Next, click on part # and enter the part #.


I did that and they were $28.00 msrp but with the online discount, they were $22.00. They should be the same part. I ordered the chrome center cap.

hope that helps


also, they have alot of parts on the website for cheap(for example, airfilter for $14.xx compared to my local dealer wanting $31.xx).

The infamous "Tire Hater" Mr. John Rodriguez has offered to sell me his and apparently they are on the way.

Now I will have 3 that I do not need but If anyone needs one pm me. I'll let them go on the cheap just like John!!

Thanks John
