Ok ive searching for a used durango for some time now and they are hard to find! I started out looking at an 04 hemi limited but after reading some thing online it seems like the hemi in that year loves to blow up. Is the a good enough reason to avoid that year or am i just being paranoid? Thanks for your help!

 

its probably cause every one your reading has had problem there are millions of other people that havent had any! there great vehicles

 

Hi Jon:

Don't be afraid of the Hemi. It is a good engine.
Don't know what your budget will allow, but I would try to go as new and low miles as you can find.

The front end was updated for 2007, and if I could have swung that I would have.

I do like my 04 very much, and it has been relatively trouble free in the 25k miles I have put on it.
It is on engine #2 though courtesy of a dropped valve for the original owner. Lucky for him, the 7/70 powertrain warranty covered $4600 of the $4700 bill for the repair.

@ jtrantow 19. Your probably right but i want to make sure i make the right choice.

@ n8ech. The dropped valve is exactly what im scared of. What do you mean because of the first owner is there a way to prevent this from happening? I love the 07 but i have to have a limited i have look at 3 and everyone in my price range has been beat up. The 04 im looking at now has 86k miles loaded for 10995.
