Yes, easy install. Took about 10 minutes. Basically you loosen thte two bolts where the housing goes into the front of the motor (I think it is the top of the water pump). You try to catch the antifreeze in a gallon ziplop and then poor it back into the overflow tank. Pop out the t-stat by prying with a screw driver and then reverse the order. Go to lxforums.com and search "thermostat replacement" and you'll find plenty. Youtube probably has a video too

So far I like it but I wish they would have said you need to pop the push button and use the key fob like a key in order to install the tune....I thought I was going to have a dead rig for a few moments!
@ Hemibuck, do yourself a favour and head over to the DS forums and read along in the DCX section! It was mentioned there several dozen times to NOT cycle the keys! Instead just click on the green mark on the intune to proceed. With the keyless entry system and disabling of the CAN BUS the button/Key is not working completly. Doing it with cycling could brick you car actually ;-) Just leave it in the ON position through the whole process...

I don't think that a CMR tuner is able to change TQ settings because if they can DS could do it too. According to Vas from DS each MY and model has a different encryption which they have to break. :-( I think they done it for the 12 Jeeps but not for the 11/12/13 Durangos. Complete bull**** as the whole basics are the same but thanks to Dodge and the US laws (I'm from switzerland, sorry ;-) ) they try to protect everything. I think there is a law in the US which allows to tune the car and the manufactuer has to proof that the tune was the culprit and then they are allowed to deny warranty, right? Hope I understood that right :-)

So many more folks with Jeeps it seems and that is where DS spends their time.

Hey I was looking at the trinity, are you able to use one tuner on 2 cars? They have a tune for my 01 Silverado and the 12 D. Could I tune the durango, then pull it off and leave it on my truck and tune that as well?

I will have to look into that about leaving it on. I tried but it never would proceed with the tune so I just did the cycle with the fob in the key slot and it worked like it does with my Magnum. Thanks for the advice!
