2000 DODGE DURANGO SLT.  Chrysler Mechanic owned, (me)....  This has been my favorite Dodge truck of all times, but since I bought a Charger R/T I dont drive it much anymore, and its using a much needed parking space.

I have maintained this truck better than than factory recomends.... I work in a dealership. This was a real clean trade-in I snaped up at work back in 2004.  From the begining; every 1.000 miles the oil was changed with MOBIL-1 Synthetic. ( the fluids dont cost me anything)  The transmission and differential have had their fluids (and filter) changes as well. (Way before the recomended intervals and more frequenly.)   So there are no issues with the drivetrain, no noice, no shutter, no clunks.  Lucky me & lucky you!

    Moreover,  the truck is heavily optioned with everything but a sun roof.  P/W, P/Seat P/locks, CRUISE, TILT,  A/T w/overdrive, Rear defoger with wiper & wash. Fog Lights, It even has 3rd row passenger seating, premium sound system (with remote) and dual A/C unit. everything works.  I also installed OEM MoPar & Viper high performance parts where applicable (i.e. the timming chain sprockets and tensioner). The engine & transmission have been tweaked a little for more power and logevity. So you can drive this truck anytime anywhere with no worries.

I am selling it cheap with a low reserve and will post more photos soon. I had problems with my digital camera as it started to rain. Please be adviced, I reserve the right to cancel any and all bids at my discression. Also I am selling the vehicle locally and reserve the right end the auction early. And as they say in the used car business; this vehicle is being sold as-is where-is without any waranties written or expressed.  So more photos will follow soon. Feel free to E-mail me with any questions and Check out my other items!

Dodge lets us drive 100-years' worth of history [w/videos]

Thu, 03 Jul 2014



A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.

Are supercars becoming less special?

Thu, Sep 3 2015

There's little doubt that we are currently enjoying the golden age of automotive performance. Dozens of different models on sale today make over 500 horsepower, and seven boast output in excess of 700 hp. Not long ago, that kind of capability was exclusive to supercars – vehicles whose rarity, performance focus, and requisite expense made them aspirational objects of desire to us mortals. But more than that, supercars have historically offered a unique driving experience, one which was bespoke to a particular model and could not be replicated elsewhere. But in recent years, even the low-volume players have been forced to find the efficiencies and economies of scale that formerly hadn't been a concern for them, and in turn the concept of the supercar as a unique entity unto itself is fading fast. The blame doesn't fall on one particular manufacturer nor a specific production technique. Instead, it's a confluence of different factors that are chipping away at the distinction of these vehicles. It's not all bad news – Lamborghini's platform sharing with Audi for the Gallardo and the R8 yielded a raging bull that was more reliable and easier to live with on a day-to-day basis, and as a result it went on to become the best-selling Lambo in the company's history. But it also came at the cost of some of the Italian's exclusivity when eerily familiar sights and sounds suddenly became available wearing an Audi badge. Even low-volume players have been forced to find economies of scale. Much of this comes out of necessity, of course. Aston Martin's recent deal with Mercedes-AMG points toward German hardware going under the hood and into the cabin of the upcoming DB11, and it's safe to assume that this was not a decision made lightly by the Brits, as the brand has built a reputation for the bespoke craftsmanship of its vehicles. There's little doubt that the DB11 will be a fine automobile, but the move does jeopardize some of the characteristic "specialness" that Astons are known for. Yet the world is certainly better off with new Aston Martins spliced with DNA from Mercedes-AMG rather than no new Astons at all, and the costs of developing cutting-edge drivetrains and user interfaces is a burden that's becoming increasingly difficult for smaller manufacturers to bear. Even Ferrari is poised to make some dramatic changes in the way it designs cars.

Dodge Scat Packages add Mopar performance upgrades in three stages

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Dodge has revealed what it calls Scat Package Stage Kits that enhance the performance of the Charger and the Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter V8, and the Dart equipped with the turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The Scat Packs use Mopar performance parts that also can be bought separately. Most of the upgrades increase engine output, but Dodge somehow manages to not specifically mention the power gains associated with each Scat Pack.
The three Scat Packs offered for the V8-powered cars focus on higher power ratings, and each stage comes complete with a unique engine-management calibration to optimize output. Stage one comes with a cold-air intake and a cat-back exhaust; stage two adds a performance camshaft; and stage three really gives you the goods, adding ported polished cylinder heads and performance headers.
For the Dart, the Scat Packs focus on engine, transmission, chassis and brake upgrades. Stage one will net you a cold-air intake, a short-throw shifter and slotted rotors with performance brake pads; stage two adds a cat-back exhaust system and an engine-management calibration to increase output by taking advantage of premium-octane gasoline; and stage three adds 13-inch vented brake discs up front clamped by four-piston calipers, suspension with adjustable springs and struts and performance front and rear antiroll bars.
