[bzdel2441]

I need to puy the pipe that comes out of the water pipe. It if for one of the heater hoses. Here is pic of what I am talking about. Anyone know that part # or even what its called, I am looking the the parts PDF and I cant find it anywhere.

dunno Chris. Mine looked way worse than that and I just used some PB and a pipe wrench, out she came, Kinda bummed because I had the torch out and everything, ready to have a ball!!! I think it's dealer only. I have heard ofa few guys making their own though. Doesn't look too hard and would certainly be cheaper than the stealership.

pipe wrench, or go to lowes and get a piece of galvanized pipe probably 6 - 8 inches long 1/2 inch in diameter and it should screw right in. take the new pump with you to check,

. I have gotten to be a regular guy at the local NAPA especially when it comes to these hard to find, i dont know type parts. i usually just take the part out take it in and let him look it up.more often than not he finds it or can tell me what it is...and usually these prices are cheaper than mopar too. if you have no luck let me know and i'll talk to my NAPA guy tomorrow(monday) and see what he says. on that note the galvie idea above actaully sounds like a good idea if you can bend it right. hope all works out for ya..

I replaced mine with a hose nipple, and a 90degree pre-bent heater hose.

FWIW the stock design is piss-poor. You can not properly tighten the fitting and also have it happen to line up correctly. You are really screwed if it starts to leak in service, you need to pull the whole pump off to fix.
