Those things are hard to find, I ended up getting mine from a far-away JY in Fort Collins, CO. They shipped it to me and had great customer service.

Edit: Thought you meant the tube itself. I used exhaust repair sealant in place of a gasket, haven't had any problems at all.

That part # came up as the EGR gasket, not for the EGR tube to exhaust manifold.

EGR tube gasket (remedy)

I found that you can use a EGR gasket for a 2000 Ford Excursion. Yes, you have to do a little trimming, but not much. Happy days !!!! My pesky exhaust leak is gone. I also found that if you are replacing the door lock cylinders, that the ones from a 1985 Ford F-150 will work great!!!
