New guy from Texas
Hey all,
Just got a '99 Durango to pull the sportbikes to trackdays. 146K on the clock. It has a couple of issues that will require attention before putting a trailer with 3 or 4 bikes behind it, but it was dirt cheap and I don't mind wrenching on cars or bikes.
It needed U-Joints that I replaced today and shifts a little rough so I will flush the tranny tomorrow to see if it improves before tearing into it. Replaced fan clutch as it ran warm and the fan spun pretty much free. The hood looks like it has been VERY hot, but no oil/coolant cross contamination and it doesn't smoke at all, so I think I am good.
I will look at the forum and use the Search function before I ask a bunch of questions. There's a lot of great info here that I hope to take advantage of.
Here is a pic of the new rig.
