V10 thermostat housing discontinued??! Where do you guys find one?

[DazSpaz]

Hey gang. Just wondering where everyone goes for the thermostat housing for a 96 v10? Mopar 5300 6047 is the part number. Every site I hit says discontinued. I cant imagine that if my housing was to be ruined the entire truck is now useless? Dealer is closed so haven't checked them yet so hoping (kinda) they may have access to a ridiculously priced one. Thought i would ask here though. Must be someone out there that makes em. Thanks ahead. D

Junkyard or online junkyard, you’ll most likely find what you need. If it’s disco’ed then you will have to get a used one. Gl.

Defenittly check the junk yard. I live in Central FL and there is no shortage of v10's in the yards. If they are in fact discontinued I'd go ahead and get all of em you can and sell some.

Not wishing to rummage through the junkyards, I had a cracked and leaking housing, too. A little JB Weld solved that problem (sealing it from the INSIDE). My V10 wouldn't hardly budge the temp guage was (the original problem), so eventually (after trying a couple of new temp sensors and having to constantly remind myself of which sensor is which) I opened up the housing to find my (the original) thermostat had failed in the wide open position! Logical, don't you think? Replaced it and everything's ticky-poooo!

This guy knows customer service. Took care of me over Christmas break. They fab aluminum billet replacements. Worth it.

I can’t figure out how to make a new thread. I have a 2001 Dodge Ram v10 and I’m replacing the water pump. I can’t get the little threaded metal pipe off the old water pump. Any tips?
