- Acquired this 1999 Dodge Durango SLT for what was essentially scrap price. Its been sitting since late 2009, with tags good until June 2010. Its a well optioned vehicle for its age with Infinity sound, keyless, rear ac, third row seating, etc.
Hopefully we can bring it back to life and see if she will move around on her own! Tune in to find out if it will run and drive under its own power for the first time in 14 years.
Enjoy! :) - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Never underestimate a 5.9. I don’t get why they are hated so much. Everything has its own issues. Owned my 01 1500 reg cab long bed 4x4 since highschool. 342k miles original engine and trans. Biggest repair was the intake plenum replacement. Has been the most dependable truck I’ve ever witnessed.
I am shocked but happy it started....
Me too!
My 1999 dodge dakota RT is my daily driver vehicle here in new mexico. It lives outside. I'm not gentle with it. i was under it the other day. And it looks a thousand times better than that poor Durango. The rust other parts of the country get, just astounds me. I could easily remove every undercarriage bolt with a wrench and no penetrating oil just crazy.
Yup! It's a fun time up here in the rust belt.
Yeah I dont live up north anymore.. But I would CRY to see my nice vehicles rusting away.. Its like you pay for them and yet they depreciate so much more. My uncle up in Michigan has these water spray nozzles that are actually piped under the concrete on his drive way, and he pulls the car right to the spot they are set up. Het gets out and goes to the side and turns on the water and its HIGH pressure sprayers in all angles which are set to spray off all his undercarriage. Once its rinsed off, He then pulls it into the garage where it drips off and goes into the drain in the middle of the garage.
That 1999 Dodge Durango is awesome but not too bad 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
My parents used to have a 2003 SLT when I was young , It had the 4.7 in it.. But it was shockingly quick. I have always wanted to get one of these since and lower it with some nice sport suspension. Then put some viper knock off wheels on it. Then do much more to it to make a Viper clone Durango.. Kinda like the SRT-10, but Obviously not with that motor. Just have the looks. When my parents had it I used to BEAT that thing to death doing insane stuff and it took it like a champ.
I am so happy your video showed up on my feed, I love 1st gen Durango's and this video was absolutely fascinating to watch. Cannot wait for your future video's! Keep it up! :)
Thank you!!
Have a 2000 5.9 4x4 that I have owned since 2005. Other than the slight rough idle it’s an awesome.
I'm from Honduras nice video I have a dodge caravan from 1998 it's 9 years old brown you motivated me to repair it
Hi there! Glad to hear about your van. (:
It’s crazy how some vehicles have different lives,, I bought my 02 Silverado brand new, ive all ways garaged it, it still looks new ,,the frame still has the stickers on it, I live in Arizona, the frame and body have zero rust, I’ve seen new trucks with surface rust all ready on the suspension parts and parts of the frame just after a few weeks of off roading in wet conditions!
You got good taste in music that's for sure
Haha thank you!
I loved my 99. The 5.2 magnum was surprisingly effective at motivating all that weight.
The heater core blew open during some rigorous throttling, and I replaced it myself.
Not a task for any of the usual shade tree mechanics. The entire dash needs to come out.
And make sure you disconnect the trans dipstick tube from the firewall...
Heater core in my neon was a royal pain too. Dash gutted to the firewall as well lol!
You mean 5.2 ? A 5.3 is a Chevy boat anchor
@@kevin61906 5.3 Chevy boat anchor? I think you're being a little too brand loyal there. The 318 was a good motor, but the 327 was/is hardly a boat anchor. Unless you actually tied a chain to it and threw it overboard. 🤣
But thanks for correcting my error.
@@kevin61906the 5.3 in my 05 Suburban Z71 just keeps running towards 400K.
The 5.2 is the version i want. 318 is reliable.
Love the Durango's,. I've got 3 right now, my 98 model has 276k miles and still going strong
my Dodge also has 276.000. But it's a intrepid.
That's saying something, those V6 engines normally don't last that long. Also don't see very many of them any more
On my 1998 Durango, It makes a clunking sound when going slow around a turn and I can feel the truck decelerating as I make the turn. Like really decelerating. Any ideas?
Slt plus, leather seats power everything, rear air, have one with black interior, you missed the stereo control the sound controls on the back of the steering wheel, wranglers came on that original, you got a nice car
Oh it has radio controls on the wheel??? I didn't even think to check!
I had one of the same year and same engine designation (but with cloth seats)
I just got a 2000 Durango back running after sitting 4 years
Congrats!!! Any idea what was wrong with it?
SLT all it needs as you
Check the plug in on the side of the trans if the connector is loose also the over drive shut off switch on the shifter can be a culprit they were actually pretty good vehicle's the 5.2 and 5.9 were great engineers
Thats what I was reading on a few forums is that connector gets loose/corroded. Thats what I'm hoping for!
I have a 99 Durango Magnum 5.9 that sat for a number of years before I got it and right off the bat crank sensor possibly battery alternator or ignition switch or possibly map sensor has caused it to lose all electrical power to all lights and accessories(dash lights) along with no electrical current to starter. And that's just within the first 6 months of ownership and minimal operation. Because the last thing to happened to it before parking it was as I just mentioned all power to all accessories lights and starter. Show no for sure only possible signs of a faulty fuel pump or filters. I let it charge on high overnight I got the lights and accessories back barely and starter made a clicking noise when tired to crank the next morning so I continued to let it charge for another hour till battery said 100% then tried to start it again then all power was lost again even with the charger still on and hooked up to battery. So I'm assuming it's all electronic related battery alternator or sensor wise. So my suggestion to getting an old Durango up.and running again it's gonna take some serious trial and error and trouble shooting. Along with potentially a ton of money. And those crank sensors are a bastard to get too let alone remove. The love hate relationship with me and that thing has begun lol
Just FYI.. if your first gen durango has leather seats, premium speakers, the infinity system, and fog lights you actually own a slt plus. Factory only put the slt badge on it but it is in fact an slt+
This right here. This is great info. It's been a year and I was not aware lol!
@@MNMoparMinivan if you go to your local dodge dealership you can give them the vin for the durango they can print out the entire build sheet for your durango. What transmission, transfer case, rear axle, front diff etc etc..
Mine is doing the same thing just waiting on the fuel pump to arrive and hopefully she’ll run
Good luck!!!
it`s good
How is there no mold?
I'm new here, seen you have a 1999 Dodge Durango with the 5.9. I got a 2002 Durango with the 360 in it also
Love to hear it! (:
Plus I'm from Minnesota also
I was buying a lot of new stuff back then, they had to re design,
I have a barely over 100,000 mile 97 dodge dakota, WHY the braking system shown on this truck, they were a BAD idea, they were discontinued way a long time ago about five years old for these trucks, you can find brake parts like anti lock front hubs and parts to keep it going if that brake system still works, anything in the internal system is a nightmare, had a brake line break at the lower union block, cant find part one ANYWHERE! have to convert it to 2 wheel antilock,
I wonder why someone parked a ten year old Dodge. It's not that old for a Dodge. Mine was just getting broke in at ten. Now it's 21 and still running as good as it ever did.
On my 1998 Durango, It makes a clunking sound when going slow around a turn and I can feel the truck decelerating as I make the turn. Like really decelerating. Any ideas?

Not sure about the deceleration but the clunking could be balljoints going out. Hard to say without looking at it. I would try get the wheels in the air and try shake down the front suspension.
@@MNMoparMinivan Thankyou for your reply
@crystalhappy7588 no problem, good luck!
My dad drives a 99 dodge Durango and al most everything under the hood he had to replace was factory parts the engine and transmission is the same
If you unplug the abs some vehicles deactivate the fuel pump
That was not the case here. This one will run without abs. Fuel pump was shot! Good thought though. (:
That's the the Durango with the bigger V8 like the 5.2 or the 5.9 nice we have the same exact Durango in our yard it's the I think it's a 4.6 v8 still runs and drives says 2 with me a very pretty 244,000 MI but it's going to the junkyard because it's way too rotted it's body is a mess it's last ride will be probably going on the back of a flatbed it sucks it was a good vehicle
It's a 4.7 , they're actually the worst magnum engine produced
How much do frame swaps coat?
what was the transmission problem?
Haven't gotten that far yet, been waiting on parts in the mail... and time. Stay tuned! (:
If I mean the one from Durango, why was there a moment when he did not baba march yours in the video, well
@@MNMoparMinivan You know what? This will decimate all, after, you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Japan.
Im not a dodge fan at all, my patrol car is a dodge its fun and a good vehicle but i like to pick up these old durangos jsut because theyre cheap vehicles and parts arnt hard to find
The yellow stuff was old fuel,
Are u tryin to sale it ??
We shall see!
Look up cascade transmission on here, he helped me fix mine
He needs to come fix my 1988 Plymouth voyager flower van 😂😂😂
I love these types of videos
@bremenandeli8793 thank ya! 88' Voyager sounds like a nice project. (:
why do they rust out so bad?
Road salt!
Because it's a Chrysler product in the Midwest
Somebody drove the crap outta that in only 10 yrs it was driven. I think I would work on that in a better less muddy location.
Hahah welp that's kinda where it got dragged to after towing it home 😅
Looks like it was in water.
Maybe! Definitely got plenty of snow and roadsalt haha

She'll be good to you, dont horsewhip the tranny, ive had a rough one like that that i bought for parts, THEN KEPT TUNE that up it will be fine
So a perfectly good truck got parked and left to rot all because of a simple fuel pump needing to be replaced smh
Transmission is in limp mode. I think that is why it got parked actually. Hindsight tells me that the fuel pump failure is probably from sitting. Who knows though. I didn't get much info about it lol
That brake pump is bad,
Yup! ):
LOL , Extremely nice ride ! I bought a 99 New 30K $$ .. Still runs awesome ! Tow , Great also . My Trans. miss's 2 gear untill you get speed up . then all's fine . Just opener up & she's down the road racking up miles . Be aware rear break @ driver's side rear wheel rusts out !! Might want to look into this !! OR make sure Park break work !! Oh, I know your Transfer case was in N .. lol. PATRICK
Haha yeah I'm going through the rear brakes. Had to sledge hammer them apart to get the drums to turn to roll it home. So I will make sure it's good to go. Glad to hear yours is still going strong. (:
