My family got our 2006 brand new passed down from my mom, to my brother, and finnally to me and the gas and A/C thing have been a thing I never really thought was a big problem but I’m glad I know how to fix it
Agree, a very reliable car if you maintain it properly. We still have our 2006 Durango 4.7 V8, currently around 113k, miles and stills drives well. Also doing regular maintenance work (oil/fluid changes, new brakes etc.) and never had any major problems, incl. those mentioned in the video. Greetings from Germany :)
I’ve had my 2004 and it’s ram so good until one time water got in gas had to drain it all than broke down had to do ignition coils and than had wire shortages fixed that but as of today it’s running good
Actually my mom had an 05 Durango SLT V8 with over 180,000 miles and currently has an head gasket problem, break lines overall need done and more and still well taken care of.
I bought mine brand new and still driving it 16 years later with over 394,000km on it and it's still running strong. I've have the cowl and fuel filler issues. I find only certain gas stations give me issues. The two biggest issues have been rust especially if you are in the rust belt, and the exhaust manifold bolts snapping causing the exhaust gases to leak around the gasket and giving you that loud exhaust tick noise when the engine is cold. The other issue I've had is the non-replaceable power steering lines one the rack itself rusting and bursting. These three issues are probably more common in areas where the roads are heavily salted in the winter. Every Durango are here has these issues. Even after so many miles on the old rig the engine still runs strong and has never let a guy down or left him stranded!
I think that definitely is a Durango issue. I had a 2003 and now have a 2007 and they both did exactly what he said. I had a mechanic and that was never brought up as that being the issue. Now I know that is what u it was. Even my son's girlfriend's mom had a Durango and it had that same issue.
Number 1 caused me a motor replacement 3 months after purchasing a used durango. Heavy rain and leak intake gasket caused water to go internally and destroyed the hemi motor. Wish I would have seen this video when first bought it.
Sadly , your not the first person I’ve read to have this problem and doubt you’ll be the last. Hearing about it has helped remind me to inspect mine as much as possible as I’m desperately trying to avoid that outcome.
I go through the same thing, now I finally know what the problem is after 5ys of having my truck and many mechanics telling me they have never heard of such thing. I bought a cover for my truck and cover it up EVERYTIME it's rains so it won't shut down on me. It's a hassel because I live in Texas and our weather is so unpredictable. 🤦🏽♀️
FYI the fuel filler neck on most models in these years on the second generations have an extended warranty from Dodge they will fix the filler neck issue. You might want to mention too that it is a safety issue to fill up the fuel with that issue not only will it keep shutting off the pump but it will blow fuel back all over the pump as you're filling up. Have a nice day
230,000k miles on mine water pump replacement is the only problem I have had so far it starts strong every time so far also drove through a ocean pool in accident about 3 feet deep truck ripped through it like nothing then drove 200 miles home through the mountains ! Truck is a beast love my dodge and I waive to all other Durango people lol
Both my 06 HEMI Durango and 08 HEMI Aspen have a bad #7 MDS solenoid code. Apparently both the solenoid and the PCM need to be replaced simultaneously but I didn't bother on either and just run a diablosport tune with it disabled.
Great video but I had to switch playback speed to.75 sounds so much clearer, I must be getting OLD. Awesome advice. I love my Durango. About to get another 1
Wow these are some issues I'm currently having ,had me worried but glad you included quick fixes now I know , without having a 20 min long video lol time is valuable too . THANKS
Only thing I’d add to the list is that rear A/C evaporator that’s located behind the rear passenger wheel. It’ll cause the whole A/C to fail n it’s happened on more than one Durango I’ve owned ( the A/C’s are heavily used down here but I’ve heard it can effect the heat too) I bought an 05 used and the only issue I had was the rear evaporator being bad. I brought to an A/C guy to fix but after 2 compressors and the “mechanic” being “stumped” or just knew what the problem was and was trying to get out of doing it (most likely) , I went hunt down info on my own. After finding a few videos and info on it I relayed the info to said mechanic and got the issue fixed. Hope this helps someone else out there.
I always refereed to it as 'Vomiting' when I fill my Durango tank. Supposably there was a recall on the issue at one time. And you missed the major issue, related to the first one you mentioned, and that is getting water in a cylinder and hydraulicing! Or just bad moisture management on a whole.
Where was this video 3 years ago when I needed it?😭 I had to figure out everything all by myself and 4 out 5 issues he listed were the things I taken care without any help😭
My 06 keeps telling me misfire cylinder 2 I've changed everything also when I back out of my yard it cuts off I've changed throttle body sensors under the tire injectors fuel pump fuel filter alternator and it still cuts off starts right back up but cuts off please help me
Might add the oil sending unit switch to this list. I had this problem and when I researched what the problem might be, this came up in a few different forums and articles.
I'm trying to figure out where the ground strap connects to the engine block. Just noticed it hanging from front driver side. I have been experiencing stalling and electrical flickering at stop lights/signs. Help needed, thanks
Only thing additional I'd add for both 2nd gen and 1st gen is exhaust manifold studs breaking. I was lucky with both and was able to swap them myself, but the cost of each stud was insane at the dealer. I had the windshield seal issue as well as everything else on this video. The seal leak led to misfires and eventually the engine shutting down and not restarting. I let it dry out in the parking lot for some hours then came back and picked it up, started fine. Later I got some black silicone caulk and just packed that stuff into the seal. Good to go. This is the longest duration I've owned a vehicle, overall the hemi limited has been incredible for the past 9 years since purchase. Recently paid someone to swap out the water pump just as preventative, now at 168K miles.
Daimler-Chrysler was involved in designing the '04-'09 Durango I was told the hydro-formed chassis was developed in Germany. My '04 has 145,000 miles on it. No major problems just normal maintenance. I do have a rear-door latch that is malfunctioning recently but engine and drivetrain are strong. CD player? Don't ask but radio works fine. I have replaced the headlight bezels twice as I don't like the look of faded headlights - that alone can make a big difference in how your Durango appears - that and plenty of trips to the car wash.
An auto shop said I need to replace the whole housing (gas and break pedal), however, this is a discontinued item. They can’t find the part. Any suggestions?
Gracias por la información, tengo una del 2007 4x4 motor 4.7. estoy dudando en quedarme la, ya le cambié válvulas, buzos,etc. Y tengo problemas con las revoluciones algo inestable. Me recomiendas quedarme la o buscar otra camioneta de 3 filas y buena para offroad 4x4. Quedó atento gracias
Got an 07 and just replaced one fuel injector and literally it drove great for a day then started skipping again My rpm needle was going nuts absolutely no power Took it back to the mechanic He says it’s another injector smh Just praying it won’t end up costing us a fortune I love my truck!
Outside of the suspension/steering needing more attention than what I'd consider normal, I can't say I've been dealt any of these with our '04 with the 5.7lv v8. I will say that when i go to take the gas cap off for filling her up, she does hiss air for a second or 2. 197k miles and running strong. :)
i have a 2007 5.7 Hemi and im having this issue. Only 1 of the low beam lights turns on (drivers side) and when i turn on high beam only passanger side turns on. Any advise on what and how i can fix
I bought mine new and had no real issues except one year the sunroof leaked so bad it filled the floor in front of passenger and driver seat. Techs were telling me to replace the window or the weather stripping for hundreds or thousands ... after much research it was actually a simple fix. I bought a drain cleaning tool for $6 and flushed the 2 drains around the sunroof, problem solved.
Yeah i had that problem a month ago. Replace the leak down pump on the charcoal canister it has the electrical connector on it. Also replace that oring inside the canister as well. Hope this helps you out.
Got a 04 durango got it with 50k miles on it now its over 320k still runs good only thing now is my rear speakers went out i'm thinking its a fuse but i cant find the fuse for radio
I just changed my cam shaft sensor to my 05 Durango but every time I reverse my car turns off did you ever figure out what was wrong with your 06 Durango
@@sierramartinez8341 I had a friend check it out and he said that oil was getting into the connector of the camshaft sensor. He said the connector is supposed to be dry and that’s probably what’s throwing the engine light. He cleaned it out and dried it and told me to drive it around to see if it happens again. It’s been parked for about 2 years or so. I start it up once in awhile but don’t drive it because I don’t want to get stranded again. Sorry for the late response I barely saw this.
Ive got 04 with 5.7. The front brakes drag the rotors wearing brakes out ive replaced calipers several times brake lines rotors steal the drag any idea how to fix
I have a 2006 dodge Durango slt 4.7 and im having trouble with it I replaced the starter,the battery, coil packs,spark plugs throttle body & sensor but for some reason it still won't keep a charge overnight once I get a jump off I'm good to go but I just starting having this problem idk what could be the problem please help!!!
Could be ignition switch. Mine is so loose, I can take the key out while running. I also have to be careful positioning it in "off" position, otherwise my battery will loose its charge overnight and have to get a jump.
I just bought a 2006 Dodge Durango SLT 4.7 L and it needs are 34A in it I can't find the low side to fill it if you guys could help me out I would appreciate it
I have an 04 SLT Hemi 5.7 that I just changed out the front radiator hose because it was swollen (and I didn’t know). Now I’m thinking that the thermostat needs to be changed out because I have to run the heater to help keep it cool. Instead of spending $100’s of dollars to get it changed, what is the best solution to see if it actually the thermostat that needs replacing? Should I try a radiator flush first? Or just change out my thermostat when I do my radiator flush? I’m looking for the most cost efficient solution- I’m single mom and I need my durango
Did you "burp" the system when you filled up the radiator? The upper tank of the rad sits higher than the engine. If your coolant gets too low, you need to take out the set screw (plug) on top of the upper rad hose inlet. Put a funnel in it and fill it with coolant. Replace plug, then top off the radiator. Then you need to run the engine and loosen, but don't take out, the plug. Keep it loose until you see coolant bubble out then tighten it up. Shut off engine, let cooling system cool, then check the rad and top off as needed. If you don't do this, it can cause an air bubble to "lock up" the cooling system making it run hot because it can't flow properly. One of the flaws of DaimlerChrysler putting the thermostat down on the inlet side of the water pump and the fact the engine sits so low in the bay.
Actuator? Sometimes water will get down in there and short out. Happens if you have the window rolled down, even just for a short period of time such as going to a fast food drive-thru window. Or like me, it starts to rain and I'd left the window rolled down a smidge. Lol

Computer says it's the CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, on my 05 Dodge Durango 5.7 Hemi. But, I do have the EGR issues, and gasoline issues, stalling, spewing gasoline at the pump. Should I go for it and change, fix them all? I have missed over a month's worth of work. This chick is going to have to fix this herself, because I am broke. So, can you show how to replace the part, its location and done from underneath the vehicle? Do I really have to remove a tire and starter to replace this?
is there a cabin air filter to replace? great tips on the smell issue ill definately use, but what about an air filter for cabin air system? ive had varying results some say they some say they dont
Love my Durango but: Had recall with interior lighting module, two recalls on airbags, and last week had issue with vehicle just stopped while sitting in traffic---didn't notice any dash or check engine lights on but, believe radio remained on. Vehicle started right up and runs fine, but I'm afraid of vehicle stopping in the middle of nowhere in the future. Hope there are codes in the on-board computer to detect the stalling issue. Disappointed with broken/cracked plastic seat trim, plastic seat belt covers, and cheap chrome-covered plastic grill that chrome covering has wrinkled and i have replaced two times at the cost of $346 a pop. Otherwise----I love the vehicle.
That happened to me. The steering wheel feels like its going to lock and if I can I pull over. Other times the car shuts off while I am at the light. I have to turn it off and turn it back on again jist to drive. I dreaded any slowdowns or stops. It hasnt done it in a long time. It might have gotten fixed. Dont remember. So dangerous. That should definitely be a recall
I have an 04 Durango and it’s running really rich and it’s hesitant so I’m thinking erg valve and manifold gasket needs replaced. What would be causing the extra fuel in the coil packs causing the misses?

I've got a 07 with the 5.7 , I'm having an issue where the bas,esp,air bag,engine, brake, battery, and abs lights came on and the radio,cruse,tach,water gages stopped working as well as the tow haul. Looking for any ideas of what this could be.
Please tell me you're in Orlando Florida so you can just pick up my truck and work it out I'm so tired of putting parts on this truck but it's doing exactly what you said back out the yard cut off go one house next door cut off
Bought a 2007 from show room. Have 140,00 miles abs only issue I e has is exhaust manifold bolts breaking off giving you that tik tik sound. None of the 5 issues have occurred. 5.7 hemi tows my 22ft boat with ease!
I have a 2009 with 224,000 miles and I only replaced the water pump twice and the egr valve twice. Otherwise than that everything on it still works even the AC!
I had 2009 for 5 years from 2011 till 2015. I had only and only 1 problem, the 4 wheel auto switch was going crazy that caused the transmission to fail. Never the less, the cost $1,900 was reasonable to fix and back like new. As compared to the Cayenne GTS 2009, the Durango 2009 is far efficient in terms of maintenance and fuel consumption. The Cayenne GTS is only joyful and more comfortable.
I have a 06 Dodge Durango and it cut off when I’m driving so what can I do cause people telling me different things and I keep putting money in it 🤦♀️
If you have a sunroof clean out the drain tubed. Or you will have a wet headliner. Also the luggage rails need to be removed & clean out the build up dirt under them.
I have a 2006 Dodge Durango.The passenger side from and back parking light stays on even when the engine is off, can anyone suggest what may be the problem and how to solve it.I disconnect the battery so as not have power drain.
I have an 04 5.7 D. Had the cowl issue,ordered a new one & used silicone to seal it off,never leaked again. Just did the egr,pcv valve and the power steering pressure switch. Nothing major.
If oil pressure switch won't do it, try replacing a quart of oil with Marvel Mystery Oil. My 05 4.7 had that issue. We put a mechanical oil pressure gauge on it when replacing the oil pressure sending unit didn't work, it was reading too high. We figured the oil pressure relief valve was stuck (part of the oil pump). Changing the oil pump wasn't an option at the time, to drop the oil pan either requires pulling the engine, or dropping the front differential out, yeah, didn't have the facilities for that. So I tried running some Marvel Mystery Oil in it. After about 100 miles, light went out. Changed the oil, checked actual pressure again and it was normal. So now I replace 1 quart of oil with Marvel's every oil change. Stuff really works. BTW, my Durango is an 05 Limited with the 4.7L, 206,000 miles.
My 2006 Durango almost made it to 500,000 miles. None of the listed issues arose - death caused by leaking valve guide seals and broken exhaust manifold bolts (2).
I know I'm late to the game but, I put a liberal amount of dielectric grease around the base of the coil pack to prevent water leaking in the spark plug chamber.
Look at the gap where the rear door and dogleg (curve of the rear inner wheel ) well meet. Water and salt brine (East coast ) spray right up and in. Problem could have been a fairly simple factory fix with some extra rubber seals or splash gaurds. My 05 has the same problem as well as the rockers and lower door seams.
Yeah work below the starter unscrew starter to battery cable first. Pull the ignition thin wire from starter. Unscrew the two bolt on the the starter going into transmission housing. Pull the starter out.
I got a 2007 limited.....had it for ten years with no real problems... long as you keep up on maintenance... she will ride forever...currently at 212 thousand miles.. BUT now have a engine light on and they say I need to replace my computer system (throwing false codes)....even though she rides like a dream to me I can’t pass emissions
If it has a sunroof, check the cabin fuse box. I have an 05 limited with sunroof. It started throwing false computer codes. I found out on Dodge Forums that occasionally the drain holes for the sunroof (there are 4, one in each corner) will plug up the the water that accumulates will run down the "A" pillar right into the fuse box. I found my fuse box full of water. I removed the box, disassembled it, dried it out, cleaned up any corroded contacts with emery cloth and electronic cleaner, reassembled it with dielectric compound and reinstalled. I also cleaned out the plugged drain holes with compressed air and weed trimmer string. Fixed the issue. Now I clean out the drain holes twice a year to avoid having a flooded out fuse box. Its a known issue with all Dodge trucks and SUVs with a sunroof during the Daimler years. Poor design having the fusebox under the "A" pillar next to the driver's left foot.
my egr went bad i had a check engine light and a gas cap light and i have the stalling issues even after replacing it i still have the stalling issue with the egr thing
@@fed9096 did the same thing - siliconed it real nice. Even after purchasing a brand new OEM cowl from dodge dealership directly it did the same exact thing and was bowed up. So I suggest for anyone else to not even bother getting a new one and just using silicone and sealing the plastic cowl to the glass - fixed my misfire issue immediately. Changed out all my plugs they were covered in rust. I got lucky - many people have lost there engines because of it.

Just rebuilt a motor for mine because of this. A bit of 3/4 inch weatherstripping seems to have fixed the leaks, but we'll see.
Thats why I ddint go to the car wash as much. My car would stall out before I even made it down the street. Now I know to check the cowl.

Thank you for all the helpful information! Keep helping the avrage Guy
Help!! I have a 2005 Dodge Durango 5.7L Hemi Gas gauge not working properly and when the gas level is low it will trigger my Check Engine light..
PLease can u help me and show me where is ac filter change for Dodge Durango 2008
You for got how bad they rust out,
FACT !!
No rust on my SoCal durango 😄
i have a 2007 5.7 Hemi and im having this issue. Only 1 of the low beam lights turns on (drivers side) and when i turn on high beam only passanger side turns on. Any advise on what and how i can fix
I bought mine new and had no real issues except one year the sunroof leaked so bad it filled the floor in front of passenger and driver seat. Techs were telling me to replace the window or the weather stripping for hundreds or thousands ... after much research it was actually a simple fix. I bought a drain cleaning tool for $6 and flushed the 2 drains around the sunroof, problem solved.
So is there a cabin air filter in these things
I am not getting much heating . It;s very light.and seems not to be flowing through all the vents. What should i check sir?
My gascap indicator came on recently followed by the malfunction/check engine indicator so I'm thinking it could be #3
Yeah i had that problem a month ago. Replace the leak down pump on the charcoal canister it has the electrical connector on it. Also replace that oring inside the canister as well. Hope this helps you out.
There was a recall on this a few years ago
Got a 04 durango got it with 50k miles on it now its over 320k still runs good only thing now is my rear speakers went out i'm thinking its a fuse but i cant find the fuse for radio
It's ur amp fuse pull down passenger side panel under glove box on right here's a crome box change fuse speakers work
What about the camshaft sensor constantly going out? My 06 Durango has this problem and so did my friends 06 Dakota. Both had the 4.7 liter engines.
I just changed my cam shaft sensor to my 05 Durango but every time I reverse my car turns off did you ever figure out what was wrong with your 06 Durango
@@sierramartinez8341 I had a friend check it out and he said that oil was getting into the connector of the camshaft sensor. He said the connector is supposed to be dry and that’s probably what’s throwing the engine light. He cleaned it out and dried it and told me to drive it around to see if it happens again. It’s been parked for about 2 years or so. I start it up once in awhile but don’t drive it because I don’t want to get stranded again. Sorry for the late response I barely saw this.
Ive got 04 with 5.7. The front brakes drag the rotors wearing brakes out ive replaced calipers several times brake lines rotors steal the drag any idea how to fix
Do you have the module power distribution c-1 for a 04 dodge Durango 5-7 liter? I really need it asap!

I have an 2006 and liftgate not opening. Is there a release liftgate button
If the egr valve is bad will that make the vehicle not pass smog
I have a 2006 dodge Durango slt 4.7 and im having trouble with it I replaced the starter,the battery, coil packs,spark plugs throttle body & sensor but for some reason it still won't keep a charge overnight once I get a jump off I'm good to go but I just starting having this problem idk what could be the problem please help!!!
Could be ignition switch. Mine is so loose, I can take the key out while running. I also have to be careful positioning it in "off" position, otherwise my battery will loose its charge overnight and have to get a jump.
I just bought a 2006 Dodge Durango SLT 4.7 L and it needs are 34A in it I can't find the low side to fill it if you guys could help me out I would appreciate it
MINE IS MAKING A ROARING NOISE AS IF IT HAS A TRANS AM ENGINE OR SOMETHING SOUNDS CRAZY BUT ITS NOR AFFECTINGY SPEED OR PERFORMANCE AT ALL?
I have an 04 SLT Hemi 5.7 that I just changed out the front radiator hose because it was swollen (and I didn’t know). Now I’m thinking that the thermostat needs to be changed out because I have to run the heater to help keep it cool. Instead of spending $100’s of dollars to get it changed, what is the best solution to see if it actually the thermostat that needs replacing? Should I try a radiator flush first? Or just change out my thermostat when I do my radiator flush? I’m looking for the most cost efficient solution- I’m single mom and I need my durango
Did you "burp" the system when you filled up the radiator? The upper tank of the rad sits higher than the engine. If your coolant gets too low, you need to take out the set screw (plug) on top of the upper rad hose inlet. Put a funnel in it and fill it with coolant. Replace plug, then top off the radiator. Then you need to run the engine and loosen, but don't take out, the plug. Keep it loose until you see coolant bubble out then tighten it up. Shut off engine, let cooling system cool, then check the rad and top off as needed. If you don't do this, it can cause an air bubble to "lock up" the cooling system making it run hot because it can't flow properly. One of the flaws of DaimlerChrysler putting the thermostat down on the inlet side of the water pump and the fact the engine sits so low in the bay.
I have a 2006 Durango 4x4. My power windows stopped working. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Actuator? Sometimes water will get down in there and short out. Happens if you have the window rolled down, even just for a short period of time such as going to a fast food drive-thru window. Or like me, it starts to rain and I'd left the window rolled down a smidge. Lol
I have an 2006 with the 4.7l no rust no issues other the a/c keeps going out 3 compressors and still have the problem 85000 miles on my
Good day. Dodge Durango. Interior light does not turn off. what could be the reason? please tell me.

I have all these problems that’s crazy good job
My 07 Durango keeps getting a security breach where I can't start it how do I fix it
Computer says it's the CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, on my 05 Dodge Durango 5.7 Hemi. But, I do have the EGR issues, and gasoline issues, stalling, spewing gasoline at the pump. Should I go for it and change, fix them all? I have missed over a month's worth of work. This chick is going to have to fix this herself, because I am broke. So, can you show how to replace the part, its location and done from underneath the vehicle? Do I really have to remove a tire and starter to replace this?
is there a cabin air filter to replace? great tips on the smell issue ill definately use, but what about an air filter for cabin air system? ive had varying results some say they some say they dont
Your welcome for the free Hex I didn't claim after the snapshot... Haha
I forgot all about it until I saw you profile pic.
Love my Durango but: Had recall with interior lighting module, two recalls on airbags, and last week had issue with vehicle just stopped while sitting in traffic---didn't notice any dash or check engine lights on but, believe radio remained on. Vehicle started right up and runs fine, but I'm afraid of vehicle stopping in the middle of nowhere in the future. Hope there are codes in the on-board computer to detect the stalling issue. Disappointed with broken/cracked plastic seat trim, plastic seat belt covers, and cheap chrome-covered plastic grill that chrome covering has wrinkled and i have replaced two times at the cost of $346 a pop. Otherwise----I love the vehicle.
Check your map and maf sensors, had thatsame thing with mine and that was the issue.
That happened to me. The steering wheel feels like its going to lock and if I can I pull over. Other times the car shuts off while I am at the light. I have to turn it off and turn it back on again jist to drive. I dreaded any slowdowns or stops. It hasnt done it in a long time. It might have gotten fixed. Dont remember. So dangerous. That should definitely be a recall
I have an 04 Durango and it’s running really rich and it’s hesitant so I’m thinking erg valve and manifold gasket needs replaced. What would be causing the extra fuel in the coil packs causing the misses?

I've got a 07 with the 5.7 , I'm having an issue where the bas,esp,air bag,engine, brake, battery, and abs lights came on and the radio,cruse,tach,water gages stopped working as well as the tow haul. Looking for any ideas of what this could be.
Same year and same problems. You ever find the cause\ Remedy?
@@michaelh8102 same problem, mine there was a wire somewhere around the driver side rear wheel what was cut. Reconnected and lights went off
Buy a new (used) truck. You will probably spend a small fortune repairing all that. Labor alone will be ridiculous.
how do I find out which Gen I have?
Please tell me you're in Orlando Florida so you can just pick up my truck and work it out I'm so tired of putting parts on this truck but it's doing exactly what you said back out the yard cut off go one house next door cut off
Bought a 2007 from show room. Have 140,00 miles abs only issue I e has is exhaust manifold bolts breaking off giving you that tik tik sound. None of the 5 issues have occurred. 5.7 hemi tows my 22ft boat with ease!
I have a 2009 with 224,000 miles and I only replaced the water pump twice and the egr valve twice. Otherwise than that everything on it still works even the AC!
I had 2009 for 5 years from 2011 till 2015.
I had only and only 1 problem, the 4 wheel auto switch was going crazy that caused the transmission to fail. Never the less, the cost $1,900 was reasonable to fix and back like new.
As compared to the Cayenne GTS 2009, the Durango 2009 is far efficient in terms of maintenance and fuel consumption.
The Cayenne GTS is only joyful and more comfortable.
Can a 2004 transmission fit in a 2005 Dodge Durango
I have a 06 Dodge Durango and it cut off when I’m driving so what can I do cause people telling me different things and I keep putting money in it 🤦♀️
Do the 02 sensors, worked for us
Thanks very helpful 👍🏻
If you have a sunroof clean out the drain tubed. Or you will have a wet headliner. Also the luggage rails need to be removed & clean out the build up dirt under them.
the seals on the luggage rack leak.. take them off and seal the front plug, thats the musty smell.
Not just a wet headliner, but also water in the cabin fuse box.
I have a 2006 Dodge Durango.The passenger side from and back parking light stays on even when the engine is off, can anyone suggest what may be the problem and how to solve it.I disconnect the battery so as not have power drain.
The are 7 versions of that wiper cowl. 7th version still does not seal correctly. $240.00 to replace.
I have mine since 2004 new..today 10/2022 It has a strong gas smell. Anyone know what might be?
es una belleza esa camioneta nunca da problemas
Never had any of them problems on the 6 I owned
I have an 04 5.7 D. Had the cowl issue,ordered a new one & used silicone to seal it off,never leaked again. Just did the egr,pcv valve and the power steering pressure switch. Nothing major.
+kencolle1 Thanks for the feedback!
Hey!!! YOU'RE BACK!!!👍👍👍
My oil light is on on my 04 durango 4.7 but it's up to date on oil changes any suggestions?
Check oil pressure switch
If oil pressure switch won't do it, try replacing a quart of oil with Marvel Mystery Oil. My 05 4.7 had that issue. We put a mechanical oil pressure gauge on it when replacing the oil pressure sending unit didn't work, it was reading too high. We figured the oil pressure relief valve was stuck (part of the oil pump). Changing the oil pump wasn't an option at the time, to drop the oil pan either requires pulling the engine, or dropping the front differential out, yeah, didn't have the facilities for that. So I tried running some Marvel Mystery Oil in it. After about 100 miles, light went out. Changed the oil, checked actual pressure again and it was normal. So now I replace 1 quart of oil with Marvel's every oil change. Stuff really works. BTW, my Durango is an 05 Limited with the 4.7L, 206,000 miles.
My 2006 Durango almost made it to 500,000 miles. None of the listed issues arose - death caused by leaking valve guide seals and broken exhaust manifold bolts (2).
I Have A 05 5.7 Dodge Durango I Recently Changed My Cam Shaft Censor But Everytime I Reverse My Car Turns Off Any One Els Have These Issues ?
Check your idle air control valve.
I know I'm late to the game but, I put a liberal amount of dielectric grease around the base of the coil pack to prevent water leaking in the spark plug chamber.
I assume these are the same issues the Chrysler Aspen would have?
Guys could some one help me to find A/C filter. Durango 2007.
Another problem that’s really common and I see on most Durango’s is that they rust on the rear driver side fender. I don’t know why but they do
shockingly mine has no rust on it but i always see the driver rear panel rusted out
Look at the gap where the rear door and dogleg (curve of the rear inner wheel ) well meet. Water and salt brine (East coast ) spray right up and in. Problem could have been a fairly simple factory fix with some extra rubber seals or splash gaurds. My 05 has the same problem as well as the rockers and lower door seams.
Any tips on getting the starters out of one of these things? Trying to find the best way to get it out of my 04 4.7. Lol
Yeah work below the starter unscrew starter to battery cable first. Pull the ignition thin wire from starter. Unscrew the two bolt on the the starter going into transmission housing. Pull the starter out.
We have a reverse light issue can figure it out
I got a 2007 limited.....had it for ten years with no real problems... long as you keep up on maintenance... she will ride forever...currently at 212 thousand miles.. BUT now have a engine light on and they say I need to replace my computer system (throwing false codes)....even though she rides like a dream to me I can’t pass emissions
If it has a sunroof, check the cabin fuse box. I have an 05 limited with sunroof. It started throwing false computer codes. I found out on Dodge Forums that occasionally the drain holes for the sunroof (there are 4, one in each corner) will plug up the the water that accumulates will run down the "A" pillar right into the fuse box. I found my fuse box full of water. I removed the box, disassembled it, dried it out, cleaned up any corroded contacts with emery cloth and electronic cleaner, reassembled it with dielectric compound and reinstalled. I also cleaned out the plugged drain holes with compressed air and weed trimmer string. Fixed the issue. Now I clean out the drain holes twice a year to avoid having a flooded out fuse box. Its a known issue with all Dodge trucks and SUVs with a sunroof during the Daimler years. Poor design having the fusebox under the "A" pillar next to the driver's left foot.
my egr went bad i had a check engine light and a gas cap light and i have the stalling issues even after replacing it i still have the stalling issue with the egr thing
Make sure it's mopar parts on egr. Also replace leak down detector on charcoal canister & oring. Best of luck.
So where can you buy a new cowl? I thought they were discontinued..
just got one on ebay for $130
I put some clear waterproof silicone where the windshield meets the cowl
@@fed9096 did the same thing - siliconed it real nice. Even after purchasing a brand new OEM cowl from dodge dealership directly it did the same exact thing and was bowed up. So I suggest for anyone else to not even bother getting a new one and just using silicone and sealing the plastic cowl to the glass - fixed my misfire issue immediately. Changed out all my plugs they were covered in rust. I got lucky - many people have lost there engines because of it.
