Has anyone had a primary pump go out on a hellcat charger? Were you able to find an OEM replacement recently?

I have been to 4 different sites now, and they're all on back order. Bam auto parts let me fulfill the order and canceled the next day because it's on back order with no ETA.

Every site I go to is out of stock, Dodge has it discontinued (68258753AH, 68258753AJ).

I have this part on order. It's listed as a good fitment for my car. Will the stock wiring harness and fuse work or will I need to purchase additional parts?

If anyone here has a better recommendation, It hasn't arrived yet.

Thanks for the intro!!! We get bots and one-and-run "members" and a lot of effort is wasted, we welcome "real" actual HC owners!

I see your dilemma, the OEM appears to be out of stock. Have you considered an aftermarket equivalent?

I do not, but in every other car/truck I replaced fp's I used aftermarket without problems. Probably replaced 4 or 5 over the decades.

I completely appreciate your wanting to stay OEM, I would do the same. But if I was stuck, I'd choose aftermarket over not driving. Then buy a OEM when available and hold it for when the aftermarket fails.

Let us know how it goes!

Thanks, I’m starting to think there are none!

I’m going to stick with the new aftermarket. I appreciate the offer though!
