1st Gen Durango 1998 - 2003 Durango's

Is it worth tuning the 5.9 RT Engine?

Also, just wondering, do anyone know if there is any difference in ride on the R/T and SLT/SLT+? The R/T suppose to have stiffer suspension for better handling but I have not been in a SLT+ to feel if the ride is the same?

honestly im not sure, but if you ever make it to jersey let me know and you can find out first hand, although the ride in my truck is a common area of complaint amongst my friends who drive cars, they all think it rides too rough (but i like the heavier suspension)

Same suspension. On the 2000 which had the hotter PCM tune, the shocks were Performance Tuned while the SLT+ was Heavy Duty shocks. That was the only thing even related to suspension that was different.

Again... R/T IS ALL MARKETING.
