My Ram is stranded need help finding a replacement part

[gte]

Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement part? Dodge has discontinued this and mine broke last night. It's pictured in the link below as #9 and the center carrier bearing bolts to the bracket I need, which then bolts to the frame of the truck.

Thanks

Best option is probably a junk yard unfortunately

Is this the part you're looking for?

Did it crack/break and fail, or did it rust away? It may be easier to repair that one or fab another than to scrounge a decent one from a yard.

The answers to repairs like this probably are dictated a lot according to an individuals abilities and situation. One end of the spectrum is someone that gets around well and doesn't have much of a garage and tools to work with. It would be easier for them to scrounge yards for a hard to acquire part than to repair or make one. I'm at the other end of the deal. I have a well stocked garage, but I don't get around well enough to scavenge yard parts. I could repair the broken one, or make a new part like that easier than I could get one from a yard.

So your options, unless one pops up soon, are to scrounge yards, repair/remake one, or find someone that can do the job for you. If that's the case - speed or 4wd shops usually are your best bet for fab work.

Where are you located?

According to his pic and part number he needs the bracket that bolts to the frame that the bearing bolts to.

No, that's the bearing. I'm looking for the bracket that goes between that bearing and the frame

Maryland, it rusted away. I have a lift and can tig weld but I don't want to deal with the rust.

I'm going to try a 1 piece driveshaft, that seems to be the best option at this point
