Mine went out and the part number/relay number that was on it was "untraceable" per Dodge, OReillys and NAPA.
I took the old one into NAPA and they matched it to one on the shelf that has been working just fine..

Ok. I noticed the harness has plastic peices have little plastic line that stick up so you could only use dodge relays or something like that. Side cutters took care of them. Lol

i don't think you would need any special relay. all the relay does is activate the solenoid which is pretty much a big relay that handles the 220+amps that those big starters draw.
