Default What to look at on an '08 Durango

I may be trading my Honda Magna for a 2008 Dodge Durango. We have a BIG snow storm coming so it'll be a few days before we look at each others rides. I know it has some rust but unless the frame is about the break in half, I'm not too worried about that. I know it has one known problem with the vents do what they want, not what you want. I don't know if a blend door is broken or what.

I'm hoping it has the 5.7, but it may have the 4.7. I don't know yet. If it's a 4.7, I'll definitely drop the oil pan to make sure it isn't sludged. I had one that was sludged and after I cleaned it, it was a darn good running engine.





The truck has 120,000 miles. I've got a wee bit of experience on working on cars, I'd just like to know what to look for.

If it is a broken blend door that would certainly affect your heat flow. If you are hearing a clicking sound chances are its a bad actuator. Visit our website if you need blend doors; we have the best in thee industry.
