Ok guys here is the issue. It was 2 days ago, First it was cranking and never started, I closed all the doors, turned off all lights, let it rest for about 5 mins and it worked. Then I got the same issue did the same thing but did not work, so I jumped the battery w/ another car and it went fine, so I thought it was a battery issue so I replaced the battery, but now with the new battery installed she cranks and then looks like she starts but right after that the RPM drop and then it got like a secondary push and then starts, other times they just drop and the engine stalls. If I hit the accelerator pedal It could start, but not every time, some times this does not work either. I have no clue what this could be. Any help would be much appreciate it.
Truck is a 2011 Durango Express AWD with 40k miles.

 

There are several threads on what sounds to be a similar issue. Search my posts but my guess is TIPM.

There are many people on this forum alone that have the same problem as you with me being included.

Some questions for you:
1) how is your D parked (incline or decline)?

2) have you changed the grade of gas you put in?

3) have you gone to near empty before filling up?

4) is it on cold start or warm start

My answers

1) on incline and now parked on decline and no problems until after a couple days

2) i used to put 89 and now 87

3) the gas light came on

4) cold start i have problems

I just added in fuel injector cleaner, dry gas, octane booster to half a tank.
I went on a 2 hr trip to PA over the weekend and I havent had any problems since. I also park my D on a decline now in my driveway.

 

Looks like the op has the V6 and not the Hemi.
Don't know if the TIPM is different or not, but it seems that previous thread were about the HEMI

 

that's right, it is a 3.7 express AWD, with no start button or remote start. this morning I jumped the battery only to get the same issue, after a few attempts and a good hit to the accelerator pedal that took the engine to 4k RPM. she started. but now she cranks and looks like is about to start and right after that the engine stalls. it is very frustrating because by reading the threads on this issue there are a lot of possible solutions, all of them very expensive as they are out warranty.

 

Well, after trying all day long, the thing look to be getting worse everytime at the point that the truck just cranked and nothing else happened. finally at about 6 PM I made 3 new attempts, in the first 2 it starts and stalls almost immediately, then in the 3rd one it started, with accelerator push help. I let it run for about 30 minutes and shut it off. Then with the engine hot, I tryied 2 more times and it started good. It looks to me that for some reason, the engine is not getting enough fuel to start up. What I don't know is what regulates the amount of fuel to be injected at crank time to get it up. any thoughts? Thanks

 

It is all controlled by the PCM

My Crew 3.6 has a problem mainly when it is parked on a incline, very slight in my driveway.when i park it facing in, decline it doesnt have a problem.. As posted earlier i put dry gas, octane booster and fuel injector cleaner last week some 400 miles earlier and havent had any problems so far (knock on wood)

 

I cleaned up the throttle body, change air filter and add some fuel injector cleaner, I've seen a 90% improvement, that means now the truck starts 90% of the time (mostly w/ engine hot) w/o any troubles, but when cold I couldn't get a clean start up, with the engine first starting and then stalling on the first attempt if no pedal help. When I do a 2nd attempt and hit the pedal it starts up. This was done yesterday so lets give her couple of days/cycles more to see the results.
