The tranny was usually the issue. My m had an 89 newyorker that needed the top end of the motor rebuilt at about 100k, the the tranny went around 120k. And it was maintained, she loved it, I've known other people with tranny problems, I had a 98 RM sport , shortbed white, factory lift..I loved it. It had a rebuilt tranny when I got it at 140k , I got it from my dads friend , I had a friend who owned a tranny shop and he used to say the same thing... Dodges came in the most, dodge has had good style for a long time..and they make a good v8..but its the other problems that are the reason I wouldn't buy one. In the early 90s my uncle worked for Chrysler ,he was in a board meeting and the CEO at the time said we fae about numbers more than quality.

@dennischapman9738 Жыл бұрын
@@johnv6806 The only "governor" on the Durango is the natural one of horsepower vs. weight and aerodynamics. The SRT has 475 HP and the Hellcat has 710 HP. Dodge claims that the top end for the Hellcat is 180 MPH and I have no reason to doubt that because their stated acceleration figures are spot on. My Hellcat has done 0-60 in 3.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds at 115 MPH.

Really loving all these videos Scotty! I own a Durango Express 2011 and although its a beast and excellent for towing a trailer, its not without its challenges. Recently had to get transmission rebuilt at 150k along with lots of part swaps over the past few years. Even after the rebuild the transmission still has the notorious slip clunk when downshifting occasionally into 1st from 2nd. Chrysler transmission is indeed crap! Was wondering if there was anything i could do or part to swap to correct this. Cost me close to $4k and now im thinking i should of had my transmission guy just replace as oppose to rebuild. They have a 2 year warantee on it so im thinking about bringing back in. I know 3rd gen durangos have a plethora of known problems associated, would love to see a video on your channel. Its a shame because even the base models with the v6 flex engine are solid other than the specific issues these trucks are prone to. I dumped too much money and time into this vehicle already, plan on keeping mine for a while and then eventually looking at a subaru or possibly a honda pilot.

It's so ironic. A lot of my decision to buy a 2021 Tundra was based on information I got from you, Scotty. So when my wife starts talking about trading in her 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroads I finally convince her to test drive a Highlander. It just did not fit. She is a long legged 6 footer. From there we tried a Honda Passport, Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot, and a Dodge Durango GT Plus with the V 6 engine. She decided to get the Dodge and I don't know why expected anything different. That make 5 Chrysler products

If he paid $63K for that thing, he stole it. They are currently selling for between $73,000-$85,000! I just bought a new Charger Scat Pack and boy, did I get a haircut. The dealer sold it to me right off the truck and didn't even have to pay any slotting fees--and I didn't get even any of that action. It looks like he didn't get the Technology package with that Durango. I was always against bells and whistles--more to break. However, that Tech package has automatic hi-beam dimming. You never have to touch the hi-beam switch while driving at night--one of the best features for me.

And the beauty of that car made by a real company is not only the they're the only ones that offer a V6 and a base model then a hemi then a 392 and then a hellcat version, no one else offers anything like it in the segment. And it's doubly perfect because sometimes a man with a family can't really afford to have his dream hot rod with a big hemi engine so he can combine that with his wife's grocery getter and still win drag races at the stoplights with the air conditioning blowing and the tunes blaring.

@@cormaro1376 I’m going to assume that you just got your license, or have no knowledge about a car other than how to start it. Because of the bouncing from the shocks or struts failing will also put a lot of strain on your car’s suspension system. By not doing it’s job - absorbing the shock - not having them replaced can lead to damage in the ball joints, wheel hubs, and many other components of the suspension. Without something to absorb the shock and energy of hitting a bump, it spreads throughout your car and will lead to damage. Not replacing worn out shocks or struts will also cause premature tire wear.
