Ive a part I need, Ive called many of the online places and they tell me its been discontinued.

One of the places gave me a dealer number in long island and I called them and they said its not discontinued but is on back order.

So 3 including Jegs tells me its discontinued and one dealer telling me its on backorder.

How do I find out the real deal on this part. Its about $375 and I dont want it out there in limbo if the parts never gonna be made again.

TIA

Will THIS be of any assistance?

I appreciate your TIA !

Thanks Doc, your a real prince.

But for everyone else I did source the part at performance shop in Texas had ONE on there shelf. I didnt tell them it seems they might be done making them..... I just paid the man!

Would be nice to know what part your inquiring about ?

Im sorta hooked on the whole EV2 PLC paint color with my mopars and cant bring myself to mod the hellcat because im not sure if im going to keep it. I love the power but im not sure I will ever adjust to the cars size and weight.

So I picked up a lil PLC Vitamin C dart to replace an aging neon parts runner and found the defunct SRT rims and other parts and I just got done with the turbo manifold,ect for the 2.4 so im shooting to build the 285hp srt car they planned to build but never did.

All the mopar accessory parts for these have all but dried up and ------I was looking for the simple mopar rear air diffuser kit that came on some of the cars oem.-----

Nothing special, nothing fast but its a mopar but I will say it does handle very well, one banked turn I like i can take at 95 in the dart but I did drift/push up into the other lane and I really dont think the hellcat could take the same corner at 95, 85 was a bit spooky but the funny part is I can power on the dart out of the corner and hit 115 where at the same spot in the hellcat im over 160.

These are fun little cars that can be had and modded on the cheap but unfortunately even the best mods can only do so much.

If the dealer is willing to dig for the information, they can go through the channels and get the company contact information for who actually makes the item you are after. Thats the kicker. If they are willing to dig. When I worked parts, stopped in 04, I had dug up information like that for people. Only did it once I made sure they weren't tire kickers just wasting my time. Also, if its already painted, try another color then get it painted to match.

The used to be, or maybe still be, a website you could do a nationwide search on PN's. But for the life of me I cannot remember it's name.

Actually a online mopar outlet parts guy who did not have the part did a search and gave me a dealer number in Long Island who had them but they were just bought via internet.

Winner, that is it. It also covers sellers that aren't dealers, like Frank Mitchell. I've bought a few things from whomever is running that show nowadays without issue.

If real dealers say it's not discontinued get one of them to order it for you. I would trust info from them over other distributors.

I just went thru the same thing with a part for my Charger. The dealer told me the part I needed was on back order with no availability date and there was no guarantee if or when they could get it. A week or two later he called and said it came in.
