towing is something my family does a lot.. We have a tandom wheel boat trailer and it is about 4800 for the boat..(it is a beast) but I can pull great with the my durango.. but any ways thats totaly off subject. any ways 5000 shouldn't be too bad sense all that stuff you have already done to your durango.. but My best freinds dad has a turbo charged toyota [sm=escape.gif] and that wasn't made for pulling like our durangos are but witht he turbo it shure helped him,... he still can't tow as much wieght but he sure goes up the caynon a lot better... My budy has a super charged 4 runner [sm=shootshoot.gif]and he pulled a couple four wheelers ( not saying thats a big load but for a 4 runner) up parlys caynon (hydo you know that one) and he kept 60 mile a hour up it prety good.. so if anything I think It will major help .. I have not ready much about it this is just from noticing my friends SUV's that have a supercharger or turbo so reall life stuff not fact stuff.. [sm=feedback.gif]

 

I've towed up Parleys before with about 3500 lbs. on the back. It did a great job. I went up at 70 mph and had a lot more punch still. Although 5000 lbs is different as well as towing something the size of a balloon behind you. You got to deal with wind and sail like conditions. I just wonder about smoking a trany or something with the super charger.

 

true that.. I am going to do some research now on that.. I wanted to supercharge my durango too and I know it will have more than enough punch but will have to figure out about the trany like you siad... I am going to ask around some of my budys and get back to you.. please get back if you find out any info hydrashocker thanks... Ps.. you know there is a black supercharged durango some where in west jordan I think.. Saw a old man driving it it was sweet I heard the supercharger only problem was the old man was totaly snoby and would give me the time of day...

 

Hydra,

You are soooo in the right! Wifey's turn to get her new car. I don't blame her, She needs one, her 14 yr old Nissan won't hold together much longer. She's a import person so no telling what she will pick but at least I got her pointing the right way to the right type of import car. Me? I am holding out for the Challenger to arrive and pray that what we see today is what it will look like when it debuts in 08. I need to get back into a stick shift again!

But for now, I am trying to budget for a M1 intake and 52mm TB that I will get from Fastman. My original intake needs replacing soon as the area where the thermostat housing is located, it leaked antifreezed at one time. A very slow leak but over time, it rotted the surroundings and pitted up the alumimum so soon, the silicone seal may not hold. Good excuse to get the M1 now!

Next upgrade will the tru duals from GSM. I would like to find if any other manufacturer makes true duals but haven't found any.

 

I surf out of this forum mainly in the concepts area. I occassionally surf the sister Dakota area but not much as I do not have a dak. I surf and am a member of the other 2 links you mentioned above but at most times, there aren't as much activity in those durango specific forums as it is here.

Thanks for the info, I need to know what the negatives and see how serious they are before I decide not to get the tru duals from GSM. I hate having custom duals made as some muffler shops don't know how to fabricate a clean bend and good clean welds.
