Dodge spare parts in the UAE

Dodge supply runs from 10 in Dubai through 8 in Abu Dhabi down to 3 in Umm Al Quwain — a gap of 7 listings across 4 emirates.

Column three is the salvage route: 3 of the 24 are used-parts yards — Sharjah 3. A used Charger panel is cheap; a used Dodge gearbox needs a written warranty.

Some Dodge parts are not Dodge parts. The Charger / Challenger shares the LX platform underneath, plus the 5.7 HEMI V8 and, on the later cars, the ZF 8HP eight-speed automatic with the Chrysler 300. The Durango (WD) shares the WK/WK2 platform underneath, the 3.6 Pentastar V6 and the 5.7 HEMI V8 as engines, and the ZF 8HP eight-speed automatic with the Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK2).

Ask for the Dodge number and the Chrysler number together — the same box, two prices.

Dodge files these cars by platform letters, and the letters do the work the model name cannot. The Charger is the LX from the 2006 model year and the LD from 2011. The Durango is the HB from 2004 and the WD from 2011. A part listed for one pair of letters is not a part listed for the other, whatever the badge on the boot says.

The LD is where a quote goes wrong, because it was built around a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6, a 5.7 or 6.4-litre HEMI V8, or the supercharged 6.2 Hellcat. The Challenger offers the HEMI engines too, and on it the five-speed automatic gave way to the ZF 8HP for the 2015 model year. A water pump or a gasket set ordered against the word Charger is a coin toss between engines.

Three things are missing or soft in the table. The Challenger is shown as the LC from 2008, but its own article calls the last cars LA and we found no model year for the change, so a late car may belong to a letter we do not give. The 1998 Durango is left out, as is the Journey, which was built on the Chrysler JC platform from the 2009 model year. The Ram pickups are not tabulated either: Chrysler spun Ram off from Dodge as its own division in 2009.

A Charger quote is not one quote. Inside the LD alone there are four engines, and a cooling job or a gasket set priced against the word Charger can be the V6 job, the 5.7 job, the 6.4 job or the Hellcat job. Those are different parts in different counts, and only one of them is the part on your car.

The year is the second thing to pin down. On the Challenger the automatic is a five-speed before the 2015 model year and the ZF 8HP from then on, so a gearbox figure that does not say which is a guess. Give the counter the platform letters, the engine and the model year, in that order, before you ask for a price.

There is no Dodge figure on this page. No UAE seller we found publishes one with a date and a name beside it, and an invented range would do you more harm than an honest blank.
