My D don't move and rolls in park!!
 
Well, I was wheelin' in deep sand at the beach in my '01 Durango when out of nowhere I smelled a burnrt rubber smell and could hear, as well as feel, a clicking, ticking sound from my front left wheel. Soon after that, I just stopped moving, I tried to shift from drive 2 to drive 1 and creep out of the sand- no movement. I tried reverse-nothing. My buddy pulls up and said that only the left front tire was spinning as I was trying to get going and he asked me if I was still in 4wd. I was in 4hi like always. He hooked up to me and pulled me about 20 feet in reverse. I was in reverse as he was pulling me. I got unhooked, and I could move under my own power again....not for long.
Got back on the hardball, took it out of 4wd, and drove around for about 4 hrs. There were no problems except that when I would turn I could hear that clicking,popping noise, then it was gone. Time went on and I could smell that burning smell and I pulled over-popped the hood. There was smoke coming from between the back of the motor and the firewall-got down in the front to look under and thats when I noticed that the truck was slowly rolling away from me even though I was in park. I got back in, pressed the brake, put it in drive,2,1,reverse, NO MOVEMENT. I love my Durango guys, please tell me whats wrong before I take it to the shop and they screw me over 8 ways from Sunday!!

Sounds like your transfer box (gear box) burnt up to me.

i agree id look at the transfer case being the culprit, probably time for a rebuild

I know this a dumb question, But is the transfer box in neutral? If its not, I agree transfer box/case.

It's not a dumb question; I'm not very 4wd savey, I just love wheelin'!! How would I determine if my transfer case is in neutral? Is it the awd, 4hi, 4low selector?

do you have a switch that you turn or is it a manual selector, like a gearshift knob.

he has an 01 so its electronic, check to see which LED light is lit on the control knob, the nuetral one is on the bottom left corner iirc
