Guys:
After not being able to program additional keys for my 04 Durango with the Sentry system, I found out that a number of the early 04 Durangos came from the factory with an RKE module that will not allow programming via the ignition procedure in the owners book.
If you do not have the Sentry system, you can get your keys cut all day long and go to town. If you have the Sentry system as mine does, you SHOULD be able to program additional keys with the built in remote OR the plain gray headed key as long as you have 2 other keys.
I purchased a number of the gray headed transponder keys, and was not able to program them myself ostensibly due to the defective RKE module.
The wife's 05 Grand Caravan also had the Sentry system, and I programmed at least one gray headed key to use as a spare in case I wanted to leave it running and locked up.

Luckily we found her set of keys! I did call the dealer about prices. For the Keyless only key it cost $62. If you durango has the sentry guard system the key still cost $62 plus an additional $40 fee to program the chip. Just so everyone know, I was able to get a copy cut of my keyless entry key and it works just fine. Obviously I don't have the sentry guard system on my durango.
Do you mind? which city do you live? the cost of the key is inexpensive to me, if you tell me the name of the dealer to order my, I can get it program here in my town

My '07 Key took a crap and I didn't have a spare. I do have the Sentry system.
The part numbers will match up to an Amazon key I ordered this one for my '07:
It says it won't fit my '07 now, but it works. I paid $128 I think for a local locksmith to come "ON SITE", cut the key based on the VIN because I had completely lost my other key at this point (it was in two pieces and I was having to use both pieces together to start the vehicle) and program it completely.
That key hasn't failed me since.
