When I did my engine rebuild I got every part that I could from the dodge/chrysler dealer. If dodge cant't find the part #. Get it frm mitsu then subtract the "M" off of mitsu's # and this should be your dodge #. I'm not talking small change here either, stuff for me was ~25%to ~70% cheaper. One thing that I can think of is valve seals, an outrageous $7 something at mitsu (for 16 of them that is some serious jing) and like $2.70 at dodge, this was the most extreme case that I ran into. I got a good new waterpump at NAPA for around $45 bucks I think.
