Question

I have a cracked coolant reservoir in my '98 dodge Durango, any ideas for a cheaper fix?

Answer 1

If you can't find a reservoir at the Junk yard then try www.Dodgeparts.com or www.rockauto.com.  I like dodgeparts.com for those hard to find parts.  

Answer 2

You can try some kind of exoxy that is "plastic friendly".  Or get a universal tank, "which may not be exactly cheap:. Did you try to price it out at your local dealer for starters. It may be worth the extra bucks

if you add in all the factors in repairing or seeking out a used one.

The truck really isn't that old at all and I'm sure it will be worth it in a

long run....

Good luck to you..

Answer 3

You can remove it and try silicone, but it will probably crack again soon. Those things are ridiculously expensive on almost all cars these days. What about a junk yard?

Answer 4

id just replace it ,go to any salvage yard and they should have one to fit it ,if they don't this site right here will have one to fit it,they are really good people to deal with and will go out of their way to please a customer,repairing those is too risky,if it breaks loose it can cause your vehicle to overheat badly and damage the engine,you don't need that kind of problems,good luck,http://www.partstrain.com/ShopByVehicle/...

Answer 5

Call a junkyard, it'll be cheap.

Answer 6

If all else fails, J B Weld has a product to repair the plastic tanks found on todays radiators. It costs around $10. That could be one option for you. It's available at any auto parts store.
