Can you show a video of how yo remove the radiator on the same truck

[@PRDreams]

My dog got under our Durango and chew cables that I can't find the name of it at all. It is not the O2 downstream sensor, it is the cable that it is connected to. O2 connects to exhaust and the plastic clip connects to (name unknown) cable which goes to the transmission. If anyone reads this and can direct me in the proper direction, I would be incredibly grateful. It is the first time Mr. Googlepants and Mr. KZbin don't seem to have the answer.

[@frankdagostino6136]

I’m bought to buy one tomorrow and she has 180k miles. Hopefully I get it and hopefully she runs as long as yours has

[@jku72]

My list based on experience is 1. Ball joints 2. Front driveshaft CV 3. Heat blower resistor plug 4. Braided hp fuel line leaks with age, and its directly over the exhaust, so starts a fire. There’s other problems, but these are particularly acute on these gen 1 Durangos.

[@robhaywood6783]

I got an 03 and im not a dodge guy but this truck is built tough My durango is fast and can go through anything. yes it has minor problems but it starts right up everyday and gets me to work

Just bought a 2001 Durango 600 cash with 225k advertised as ran when parked .. fired it up drove it on the uhaul trailer 75$ got it home and have driven it 2 weeks no problems other than speed sensor inop. Loving it . 4.7 v8 power .. thanks for the front drive axle heads up.. I think it will need a new one asap.. but ima try and get 4 months out of it first

[@Shinobi_Genesis]

Don't forget the ECU. Those are definitely a common problem and hard to diagnose. The ones that came with this vehicle seem to have issues with them where they'll just go out at any time but they now sell them remastered.

[@slapndbass]

I miss my 99 4x4 durango. Red and chrome. Got it in 04. Wrecked it in 06 by an RV driver not paying attention switching lanes. Fish tailed me. Flipped on a ditch. Came out without a scratch. I'd be dead if it wasn't for the design of that truck

[@jatoms8430]

crazy. my 03 durango had front drive shaft failure in that same spot. my door lock has similar issues and i have an exhaust leak and tapping in my lower end. this just answered so many of my questions

[@eviljeb]

I loved my 2003 Durango. Sometimes I had to tap on the side of transmission to get it start, and I had to replace ball joints, wheel bearings, window regulator cables, AC compressor clutch, radiator, and when I had to replace the exhaust manifold bolts and muffler I just slapped a whole new performance exhaust on it. Never replaced the front driveshaft. It could go drive down a road with 6 inches of unplowed snow in rear wheel drive so I figured what's the point. I'd still be driving it if some guy had decided to NOT slam into the side of it.

Currently sitting in my 2000 4.7 magnum SLT Plus. Loooovely to drive. Just hit 150,000 yesterday. BUT, I’ve had to replace; O2 sensor. 2 of them. Throttle sensor. Cooling fan Radiator (it randomly cracked but thankfully was under a lifetime radiator from the last time it broke in a small bumper bump.) Valve stem seals (not done yet) Carbon clean from seal leak. Driver seat has a little back and forth play. Aaaaand the inside door trim is loose from when the drivers side window busted and got replaced at home….. But I got an after market K&N air filter and muffler box…. Sounds nice… lol but aaaaall original except those and sound system and all terrain tires.

I've got '99 4x4 Durango, had to work on several of those issues plus many, many more. Current issue is ABS sensors. Thanks for the tip on the MAP sensor, mine rarely starts with less than three tries and it's been like that since I bought it in 2010. I'll have to check into that. At this point I think the biggest issue is that I should've bought something else.

[@ChiEKKUsama]

ABS going on and off at random? Had this EXACT same issue with my '01. It was the ABS computer itself, not any of the sensors. Shops were quoting me $1000+ to rebuild the ABS which was absurd. Got a replacement computer from the junkyard for $30, fixed it and never happened again. Opened up the old one, and a capacitor had lifted from the circuit board, probably causing the issue.

Top 5 problems for 5.2/5.9L's 1. Transmissions 2. Heads cracking due to poor design 3. Lower intake plenum plate gasket 4. Air Idle control valve 5. Heater core Good thing about the 4.7L is a 5.7 Hemi out of the 2nd gen Durango drops right in and transmission bolts up

[@Terminxman]

My parents had a 99 with the 5.9 and 4wd, transmission went out twice in 5 years. Considering the bad reputation chrysler has overall for their transmissions in this era, weird that the transmission didn't even make the list. Considering the cost, I would say it's a "top" problem, moreso than any of these.

[@Reebz44onTTV]

I put a valve body in mine about 50k miles ago and it drives fantastic. Cruise control slams gears trying to get this fat Lard up a hill, so I drive without it on hilly roads. Early 2000s Chrysler trans were and still are really hit or miss.

Yea man that’s rare most Dodge Durango transmissions last forever however in anything else that came from the Chrysler brand failed miserably

[@bryancoats5328]

I had a 1998, and I can share some experience, First, if you ever have to replace the U-Joints, take them to someone to have them done, reason being, Dodge used loc tite on the caps, meaning they are a bear to get off. Second, the luggage rack trim screws go straight through the roof and into the cab, take the trim off and use silicone to seal it. Third, I had a 5.9L with what I thought was the factory transmission, but come to find out someone put a 42RE instead of the 46 RE which is what was supposed to be there and none of the shift linkage bracketry is interchangeable. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

I do have to say that it was Pep Boys who changed everything and they said they put a lot of the parts on ther for free like the break pads and two other parts. I paid for the master cylinder and new tires bc whem I bought it, it had weather rotted tires and breaks wouldnt apply correctly. When I got her back the first issue I memtioned started happening so I I dont know if it was Pep Boys or just something that would have happened later on anyways. Any info would be appreciated 👍

Pull sparkplugs and fuse for fuel pump. Crank engine to eject coolant from cylinders. A quick crank should do it, give it a blast of compressed air down the sparkplug holes in the head, and also a short spray of wd40 to displace any rust causing moisture in the cylinder. Put it back together and run it.

Thank you for doing a video on this, especially shortly after requesting if your crew could do one. For i own one myself right now and am trying to make sure if any of these issues are happening I can fix it asap. 2 questions though. How to stop oil burning or what could cause it on one of these? I replace the valve gasket covers and cleaned the throttle body but its burning about a quarter of oil every 5-800 miles. Second question is low idle from time to time after engine is hot it drops from 600 rpms to 480 or so rpms, would that possibly be the throttle body sensor going bad or my maps sensor?

[@daymianhayes2493]

The cause of your oil burning is most likely your valve seals. I just rebuilt my 4.7 at 200k just as preventative maintenance. The valve seals were definitely shot. The timing chain guides were also on their last leg. Everything else looked really clean for 200k. The cause of your low idle is most likely your (IAC) Idle Air Control Valve, which is cheap and easy to replace.

[@markk3652]

Intake plenum gasket. There's a gasket under the intake manifold that lets go, and is probably the root cause of both the oil loss and the low idle. My 2003 had this issue, and the gasket replacement solved it.

[@METROTRUMPBOOMING]

Forgot about passenger or driver knuckle bottom caliper bolt hole stripping resulting in a helicoil or new knuckle

[@1AAuto]

+XD silenceclipsYt Thanks for the feedback!

[@METROTRUMPBOOMING]

Mo problem that really seems to be a common issue with these first generation models

[@vintagestrings6]

100% happened to mine on each side. Had to find a used one from a junkyard in Iowa which they shipped out in less than 24 hours. When the other one went bad I believe they tapped the hole. Not a good design.

[@markminervini7357]

I’m the extremely off chance anyone sees this. My issue is an extended crank time to turn over. I think it’s throttle body at this point (newer battery, newer spark plug and ignition system). No check engine light tho… help a brother out

What keeps draining my battery I have a 03 with that 4.7 magnum motor

[@marcinfrej9935]

Hello, I have a question about Dodge Durango from 2002. As in this video, there are roof rails (elements placed crosswise). How can you remove them to, for example, easily enter the garage? The car is about 1803mm, the garage is up to 2000mm. What is the height of these roof rails from the point of contact with the car body to its maximum height? Thank you for your help. greetings

Can the rear window be designed to go down like a regular window?

[@JacobEcret]

Yes, they have it in the base model.

[@edlopez4992]

Got at 120,00 first owner. Pops os the second and now me. My truck is a rare durango from not being a rust bucket

[@gsxellence]

Biggest problem, made by Chrysler.

[@positiveraditude8276]

these were before fiat took over chrysler, they're pretty good in this year

[@iTzTheSymbiote]

What about the 5.9 Rt AWD? Is that driveshaft the same?

[@kennymelgar3740]

I’ve been thinking to get the r/t

[@Vstromxt]

I have a 99 4wd 5.2. It will stall after about 30 minutes of running. It will start back up after about 20 minutes. It will start back up with starting fluid for a few seconds after the initial 30 minutes. My guess is fuel pump. Any help? No codes on generic scanner. Battery posts are clean and tight. Lights and dash stay on after stall. No no buss across odometer. I know it could be the ecm or the crank position sensor or cam position sensor. I don't have a fuel pressure gauge or I'd test that. Pretty sure its the fuel pump cause it will start with a squirt of starting fluid for a few seconds.

I have an 05 DODGE DURANGO HEMI MAGNUM 5.7 LITER I RECENTLY HAD AN KIL CHANGE MAYBE COUPLE WEEKS AGO BUT NOW MY TRUCK IS MAKING A ROARING NOISE

[@mavericktopgun2873]

Got Durango 2000 smells like sulfure any ideas??? Where it could be coming from?

[@1AAuto]

+Maverick Topgun We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@METROTRUMPBOOMING]

A clutch or catalytic converter usally makes that smell

[@lownslow2099]

Is it normal for when a turn signal light is going out it flashes when I use the opposite one?

[@montgomeryfitzpatrick473]

Found an 02 with 77k miles and new transmission for $6500. Wondering if it's worth the risk?

[@2020-g8s]

The AC system is terrible on the 1998/99 models

[@craigh6129]

really?? my 99 is ice cold.

[@CR500R]

Not to mention the heating system...lol they never get past Luke warm. Many $$$ spent on thermostats, coolant, etc... just a terrible design.

[@rickeyhall4254]

I have a 2000 with a 106.000 miles on it. It has two wheel drive with a 5.9 liter.

[@ShayneHuber-s4k]

I don't know who to ask I'm just wondering if it ok to high milage royal purple oil in a 1999 SLT dodge Durango and royal purple transmission fluid and e3 diamond spark plugs it's a V8 magnum engine

[@wadet73]

I have a 2001 SLT Plus and lucky. It's 2WD and on this list, I've only had to change the throttle position sensor.

[@wadet73]

Update! She ran hot on me coming home one evening and it failed the exhaust gas in coolant test. Verified blown head gasket at #2 cyl. Due to age, needing lifters, and since I love my "classic" Durango, I have since replaced the engine with a new crate engine. Still going 😉

[@antoniososa3467]

Falto mencionar qué son de alta temperatura... cuidado si llega a fallar el ventilador secundario.. Calentón seguro
