Lost it on a drive (i.e., wheel well part)

[Metaphor_7182]

Still doing a bit of upkeep on the ‘new’ 1996/7 RT. Previous driver dropped a part on their last outing and now I would like to get a stand-in.

Looking for a replacement wheel well/engine compartment splash shield [if that’s the correct term] for my 1996 [Dodge] RT. I have located several 3500 Ram Vans in the local area spare parts yards, but all are missing that “replacement” piece. The local Dodge dealers tell me that part is no longer made or available in their supply chain. 😞

Aftermarket is an option, however my preference is to locate an old OEM, one made in the US or Canada over china.

If you know of a 3500 Ram Van with the needed part in your area please PM me or drop a point of contact here. Thx

~ with the help of a friend, we modified a wheel well/engine compartment splash shield for the RT. Time for a wet cold weather camp out this weekend after I do a resupply.

Winter here is always mild seldom getting much below freezing. Snow-wise seldom get any in Victoria or just North where we are(none last winter and I had snows on my Bimmer too). Further North sometimes the odd snowfall but not very much usually and temperatures are usually above zero(Centigrade). Have never camped winter time near Campbell River but some do and some Easterners come here with motorhomes and stay for the winter. Hiway 1 is usually fine on the Island. One has to check to see which RV parks are open in the winter. I know that Living Forest in Nanaimo, 30 miles North of Victoria is open all year round. Many winter campers go there. I usually head to Arizona!!!

Thanks Al,

I have gleaned a good bit off this URL the past several months (since purchase). Saw in the posts you are on the southern part of the Inland and was wondering if the 'hill' north of Campbell River going up Hwy 1 gets much snow during the winter? :h

I know it gets down to freezing temps (0 or 32 depending out the stick house site) around Alert Bay, but never went to visit friends during the winter months.

Telegraph Cove is-would be my jump off point. Any advice is appreciated (and a splash shield too!).

Cheers!
