Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) looking for timeing bolt cover

[ChrisL]

I need to replace/fix the timeing bolt cover on the front of the motor. Mine has cracked and I'm leaking oil down the front, and this is causeing my belt to slip off. I can't find just the cover, and the dealer sells only the whole cover @ $148. 00. Some how my 98. 5 has the bolt cover to a 99 on it now. Any one know where I can pick up just the bolt cover for a 99?? I'd hate to spend $$$ for whole thing, only to use the 3" dia. bolt cover.

I assume you're talking about the big plug on the front of the timing cover like in this picture?

Mopar4Less.com should have them for a good price but in the meantime maybe just put a good layer of duct tape or something over it? (nothing like redneck engineering)

Thanks! That is the exact cover I'm looking for. I'll check out the 4less site. I have thought about the duct tape my self to get by until the new cover. (I'm not above a little shadetree fix'n my self)
