6.1 intake pushrods. Anybody have them in stock?

[BlueMeanies]

Seems they're B/O'd just about everywhere.

I ordered mine 3 weeks ago at the dealer and I'm still waiting, should be in any day now. Have you tried the vendors here?

 

[BlueMeanies]

Found a set. Got it from the same company that the timing set is coming from. Free shipping

 

[RonJon '06]

Sweet. Now comes the fun part.

 

[BlueMeanies]

Hey RonJon, did you get your pushrods yet?

Still waiting here...

 

[RonJon '06]

No. They were due between April 13th-18th at the dealership and still haven't shown up. The only good news is they didn't push the delivery date back like last time.

 

[BlueMeanies]

Bummer. Looks like everybody's waiting.

So I just got an email from my supplier. Here's what he had to say:

Good morning Jim,

Well... I was told that I would have them on the 15th, but yikes, I just spoke to our dealer and he says there are almost 500 backorders in MOPAR's system with no production or release dates listed. Also, no dealers across the country have them in stock. It doesn't look like they we be available any time soon. The backordered part is the 5037476AB. Three possible options for are A) we have good condition used ones here from previous engine builds B) It looks like some may be available on eBay C) upgrade to an aftermarket pushrod kit for a lot more $.

Really sorry about this. MOPAR has been dropping the ball on a lot of 6.1L replacement parts lately. Please let me know how you wold like me to proceed. (end)

So there you go...

My intake pushrods finally came in today. They came in as part number 5037476AC the AC denoting they are the latest production version and were packaged in Michican yesterday then shipped overnight to my local dealership. The exhaust were labeled AB and packaged last Aug. Hopefully this means they're making more again.

 

[BlueMeanies]

Yep! Just recieved a UPS tracking # for my order too!

Next week just might be national cam week after all

Went ahead and purchased a stage 1 Hemifever tune.

I am sooooooooo ready for this to happen!!!
