i am looking to buy a 02' slt with a 4.7 2wd with 50k miles, i am wondering what the fuel economy is and if there is any problems with them? it has the mercedes engine in it if that helps any. i would appreciate any comments you have..
thanks
have had countless, various problems with this car..too much to write. My question is to everyone, what kind of hell do you have to go thru to get your money back or a replacement? Has anyone EVER gotten either one? Ok, a new car with low miles SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES!!!
Thanks for the help,
Daco
I am hoping someone can help me though, I have the factory installed DVD System. My son broke one of the headsets. Does anyone know where I can get one without shelling out the big bucks the dealers are asking for?? Any advise would be greatly appreciated...
BTW, the truck has the following mods: Jet Performance Chip, K & N filter, Airaid Throttle body spacer, Magnaflow exhaust, S.S. tube grill, chrome door handles.
Now has 25,000 miles, using only Amsoil 0W30 synthetic oil and Amsoil filter.
Instead of paying the dealer $50, find an auto parts store that will read the codes for free (AutoZone and Schucks do it around here).

Need room for family of four with luggage and two beagles. Want to tow around 5000 pounds. Would like 19 city / 23 hwy.
Last Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth was an 84 Plymouth Voyager. POC! :lemon: Engine almost self destructed at 7000 miles. Many problems but am finally warming back up to Chrysler; son has a 04 Dodge Neon SXT and it seems ok.
It amazes and frustrates me that this is not a recall and has not been fixed. I own it, it has 74k miles and now it has begun to burn oil. I was hoping to find a leak, but no luck. I have begun to look for a replacement, but do to the fact that Dodge does not focus on the details, like fixing known issues, I will be looking elsewhere. Other items like ball joints I had replaced under the warranty when I heard their was an issue.

Also, twice in the last two weeks, my truck has spun out. I've either been turning, or coming out of a turn, not at high rate of speed, and my two back tires have just went sliding. Both times the truck went full circle, rocking.. Has this happened to anyone else, I have two little ones, and I now worry about there safety in the truck??? :confuse:

Also, until the engine fully warms up, I notice a single tick sound maybe every 15-20 seconds. It sounds just like the noise the air conditioning unit would make as it cycles on and off or like the sounds the exhaust system makes after the engine is shut off. I don't think it's valve lifters or other items I've seen on this forum. Has anyone else had similar experiences and what did the dealers have to say? Just trying to get my ducks in a row before the dealer tells me it's normal. Thanks.
Its driving me crazy and am afraid of getting robbed by the dealer again. Can anyone suggest a troubleshooting direction? I did what the dealers service guy suggested by unplugging fuses until the bell stopped and couldn't find a fuse that changed the problem(Big help there)...
Thanks..
Be aware that there is a national back order on the parts.
Trading 4-door F150 mainly because want more room for passengers AND ability to tow. Once a month or so I tow a bumper pull aluminum & steel 2-horse trailer.
Anyone out there with comments/input on how Durango w/ Hemi tows?
IS the HEMI that big of a deal, or is it just as some have said in this venue just something Dodge is pushing as big deal?
Also, has Dodge made improvements in 2005 models to address ball joint safety and other safety issues that were part of previous models?
Thanks for any input! Trying to make an informed decision in G-town! MBB
My 2004 Limited was in the shop for nearly two weeks. After a couple visits by the local factory tech, he finally told the dealer wrenches to trace and check EVERY single wiring harness and connector in the engine compartment.
Guess what? It was a partially connected harness connector. Apparently one of the connectors was "electrically" connected but the physical connection was loose. Over time the electrical connection got less and less over time and I was getting intermittent connections which resulted in what you saw.
Unfortunately I can't tell you which connector it was.

Now to my question I have a friend that has a Denali and wants to sell me the rims and tires which I think would like great on my DD but I don't know if they will fit due to the bolt pattern? Since she is over 200 miles away I don't have the luxury of having a test fit. Any ideas on if the GMC wheels will fit a Dodge?
We haul a 27 ft travel trailer with a hemi powered Durango. It does a really great job for us and gets reasonable gas mileage pulling the 5500 lbs as well (12.) We are pushing the edge of optimum wheelbase vs trailer length where I would suspect you would not be. We use a reese weight distributing hitch and a reese friction anit- sway.
Good luck!
thanx
Any suggestions?
Sincerely
04 Durango
Unless I missed the obvious, it's not in the manual and it's not on the fuse box cover like most cars have.
Thanks
btw, I need to know which fuse goes to the trailer parking lights. The parking lights work on the vehicle but not on hte trailer and the trailer wiring is fine.
