Looking at Durango for a Family Rig - Looking for Inputs
#11
It all happened so much sooner than I expected it would - but I ended up buying a Durango today! 2001 4.7 Magnum, 45RFE, AWD, fully loaded, 103k miles. It was the first Durango I've driven (I do own a Dakota, however) and it was the first car we actually looked at since deciding to upgrade to a larger car. But it was so clean and so nice and a good price I knew we wouldn't find something comparable for a long time, so we just got it!
Original window sticker included!!!
Might upload some pics to share. But I'll definitely be asking a few questions here in the near future.
Thanks for the insights everyone. I'll definitely be doing the 03 knuckle and brake swap in the future as well.

Just be sure to keep up on your oil changes. The one 4.7 I've owned hadn't been kept up properly and it lost oil pressure. After tearing the engine down, I found the oil pan sludged up and the oil pickup stopped up. To be fair, once I got it cleaned out, it had good pep and towed a small loaded trailer just fine. The only other problem I had with that truck (2002 Ram 1500) was the radio died on me an dI put an aftermarket in it.

You may also want to drop the transmission pan at some point and change out the 2 filters. Supertech ATF+4 from Wally World works fine. I put an aftermarket drain plug in the pan (they also sell pans with drain plugs) and do a single drain every 25K.
