Hey People
I've been searching these forums for some help on deciding weather or not to buy a 98 Durango from a buddy for little or nothing. He is not mechanical and just wants the green antifreeze river to leave his driveway. Besides the cancer (tailgate, rockers, bumper, driver door, etc...), I think it has a bad rear frost plug. It has had two frost plugs on the front replaced already. One on each side. The truck has about 140,000 miles on it. Just looking for a extra car for the kids for a couple years but I don't want a big money drain. I'll most likely replace the rusted out body parts (junkyard/Rockauto) if the frost plug takes care of the leak. By the way these forums rock! Is there a how to on dropping the tranny to access the frost plug? Any advise would be welcome.

Welcome Aboard ElectricWall! Stay tuned - a Technician (or member) will jump in shortly to provide an opinion on the rusty, leaking, nasty - but cheap Durango. In the meantime, you might want to browse Sub-Forums: Durango for stuff related to your possible future ride.

Removing the transmissions on the early durango were not that easy. There is an art to removing these transmissions. If you want, I can go into great detail in a pm. Or the members in the 1st Gen Durango section can also help as well.
