There was a typeo on the first page of that site. In the second paragraph it says "The 5.2L and 5.9L were replaced by the 4.7L"

Should have said the 5.2 and 3.9 were replaced by 4.7.

I'm paying more attention to that website, than my Thermodynamics lecture......not good for the 3rd day of school

notebooks are on the cheap! If you plan to get one MG, check out this site; http://www.techbargains.com

You will have to monitor that site in and out all day as it is constantly being updated in real time. When specials come up, it will be immediately be posted. They monitor online and retail shops for specials. HP and Dell are big advertisers on this site when they have their sweet deals.

Also, black friday this year will be very interesting with prices of PC's as low as they are. I hear rumors that you may see a $199 laptop and possibly a $150 desktop PC's around the corner come black friday.

here is a link detailing what the R/T has over a regular durango.

http://www.440magnum-network.com/inf...rt/index.shtml

Now to point something out that was discussed on another thread in this forums a long time ago. The discussion on why some Durango R/T owners states they can use 87 octane from factory and some users such as myself states it requires 91 octane. Based on the article from the 440magnum, it says engine controller with premium fuel(91 octane) calibration.

I would have to say that there may be some Durnago R/T's (mainly the 2001-2003 years) some of them may not truly be a R/T if your manual states that your R/T does not require premium fuel. This would explain why some I have seen starting on the 2001 year models, they advertised the R/T with only 245 HP and not 250 HP? Would this be because of the engine controller not using premium fuel thus not gaining the additional 5 HP and possibly 10 lbs of torque?

More articles commenting about the Durango R/T.

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...urango-rt.html

At least in this article, everything they say about the 2000 model is right on the money. Down to the MPG even running 2100 RPM's at 65 mph.

What I don't understand is the HP advertised. On 2000 R/T's, they advertised 250/350, but 2001-2003, they advertised 245/335. Looking at these stats, it looks like the newer R/T's are missing the revised engine controller that is tuned for 91 octane premium fuel. So far, I spent a couple of hours googling and yahooing the net and cannot find an explanation on the difference in power advertised? They even show the 01-03 regular 5.9 durangos having the same power specs.
