I bought this Durango last year and I didn't know what to expect. I always liked the Durango's looks, but had never really driven one before.
I was much more than impressed when I first felt the power in this engine. I had to go online to see what the horse power was. It states that the 4.7 has 235hp and I can tell you that you will feel every one of those ponies when you drive it.
There was a vibration in the steering wheel when braking, so I just stepped up and had the front brakes completely redone. The steering vibration is now gone, but there is still a smaller vibration from the rear brakes, so it would probably be a good move to replace the rear brakes at some point. I will replace the rear pads and have the rotors turned on a lathe at NAPA for $150 extra if this is something you don't want to do. 90% of your braking power comes from the front brakes, so it will likely be fine to drive as it is for awhile since it has 0 miles on new front brakes.
I replaced the throttle position sensor about 6 months ago because I decided to pressure wash the dust off the engine while it was running and apparently that is not the right thing to do anymore with all of the computerized engine components these days. :) It scared the (insert exclamation here) out of me. Who would think that getting this one sensor wet could cause so much havoc. It would stall or surge at random times and it would stay in 1st gear up to like 60 mph before changing. I thought I really messed up and I am sure that had I taken it to an average shop, they would have got me coming and going, but I have a great shop up in Anacortes and they told me it was a $35 sensor that took 15 minutes to install. They charged me for the part and $25 for labor. It cleared up everything immediately and this thing really runs strong. It shifts healthy and clean. It has a bunch of miles showing, but you can't tell by driving. The guy I bought it from said the engine was rebuilt a few times in its life and you can feel it. There are no leaks and it does not burn oil. The sides and bottom of the engine are very dry and clean. It shows 265,999 miles, but it is a strong running, fun driving, powerful rig. It handles very well. The 4 wheel drive works extremely well. We only used it on a couple of occasions to test it and on ice its perfect, but I even backed it up an uneven steep hill to park it with for sale sign and at the top of the hill, one tire lifted 8" into the air. Most 4x4s would be stuck there with that airborne tire spinning freely. Not this one. I lightly stepped on the accelerator and it smoothly continued up the hill on 3 tires without one slipping tire or even a raised engine speed.
Towing... I have an F250 that is my towing beast. Generally, it can tow anything I put behind it. I searched and searched for accurate information today online, but all of these search engines just want to sell you stuff and you can't just ask a question anymore. From the best I could tell, the F250 weighs about 4300 pounds and according to all sources the 94 Pathfinder weighs 3900 pound (not true). Well, my Pathfinder has oversized tires, 12" of lift, an ARB Australian Winch Bull Bumper, plus a Warn 9000 winch inside of that bumper. That brings me up to 6600 lbs. I have weighed it myself. There is an additional issue this week, being that there is a complete new engine in the rear of the pathfinder so it has to weigh well over 7000lbs, being pulled by a 4300lb empty bed pickup. I was towing it through the mountains on a curvy road and the rear truck (Pathfinder), kept pushing my F250 through every turn. It was very stressful. When I got it home, I had to back it through a narrow gate up a very steep driveway with an empty bed light weight pickup. I tried several times and finally, I hooked up the Durango to it and I just drove it exactly where it needed to go in the yard with ease.
The tires had decent tread on them. The truck has nice alloy wheels all around. Has factory tow package that was optional too.
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT NADA ON THEIR SITE. THIS RIG EXACTLY AS IT SITS SHOWS $3750 ROUGH AND $4859 AVERAGE BOOK...
I am not trying to get rich. I love this truck, but life is pushing and pulling on my wallet these days. I have to sell my baby, you will love it...
That's it. No shipping.

Saleen SA-30 Mustang, Camaro and Challenger help celebrate the big 3-0
Fri, 22 Nov 2013After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.
For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.
On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, though, is the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass that is an option on the SA-30 302 Mustang. Similar to the Mercedes Sky Control roof first introduced on the Mercedes SLK, the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass allows the Mustang's optional glass roof and rear window to be switched from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.
Dodge Durango gets performance Mopar options for R/T, SRT
Thu, Feb 8 2018Fiat Chrysler is showing new performance add-ons for the 2018 Dodge Durango R/T and SRT models at the Chicago Auto Show, including the familiar Dodge dual center stripes and a new Mopar exhaust system. The 475-horsepower SRT model, which is powered by a 6.4-liter Hemi V8, will also offer a lowering spring kit and a carbon-fiber instrument panel. The signature two-stripe treatment blankets the three-row SUV from the front to rear fascia and is tailored to the signature NACA duct-hood vent. It'll come in five different colors — bright blue, flame red, gunmetal low gloss (metallic finish), low-gloss black and sterling silver — and retail for $1,195 starting in March. View 7 Photos Mopar developed its new bolt-on performance exhaust systems with Dodge SRT engineers and designers to improve flow and achieve that sweet sound. It features a chromium 304 stainless steel construction to make it more resistant to corrosion, with stainless steel band-style clamps and welded and polished 4-inch tips. It costs $1,595 for the Durango R/T and is available now. On the SRT, the price goes up to $1,850, with the package available in the second quarter. New Mopar springs improve the Durango SRT's high-speed cornering stability and consistency by lowering the SUV an average of 15 millimeters, or 0.6 inches. They were developed with proprietary Dodge SRT data not available to the aftermarket to tune the lowering springs to the factory dampers, giving the vehicle less rear-end squat during acceleration, less nose dive while braking and reduced body roll on corners. MSRP on the package, which is available now, is $325. For just under $2,500 you can get the SRT Interior Appearance Group package, which adds a premium-wrapped carbon-fiber instrument panel and door bezels, Dinamica soft-touch headliner and accent paint on speaker trim rings. The Chicago Auto Show is open to the public Feb. 10-19.

Mopar '15 performance kit now available for Dodge Charger R/T
Tue, Jun 9 2015Dodge is releasing a new Mopar performance kit for the 2015 Charger R/T sedan, offering up just 50 examples of the dealer-installed upgrade package. Only a select few dealers will sell the kit, and they'll do so at a price of $3,550. As per usual, the Mopar kit makes both performance and aesthetic changes. For the 5.7-liter Hemi V8, upgrades include the Stage 1 Scat Pack kit, which adds a cat-back exhaust and cold-air intake, good for 18 additional horsepower and 18 more pound-feet of torque. There's also a new strut tower brace and a "premium fuel powertrain control module." Aesthetic changes are remarkably simple, with matte black body-side decals being the only notable addition to the exterior. In the cabin, there's a serialized dash plaque and new door sill plates. This is the sixth Mopar special edition since 2009.
