AFC housing star wheel hole thread count

Well some how the plug for the AFC housing fell out while driving. (The one you adjust for the star wheel- pre boost)
Does anyone know where to get a replacement plug or what thread count it is?
It looks to be about 18x1.5?
I called the dealer and they have to sell the housing with the plug in it.

Junkyard or Bosch certified pump shop maybe?
I went though the same thing for a lost washer for the hex plug, had to buy the entire housing if I wanted one that bad.
You might also find an oil drain plug with the same threads at an autoparts store.

I think a 3rd gen takes an 18MM oil pan plug.

Wow, I'm amazed that you can buy the housing alone from Dodge, without having to buy the whole pump.
