djh3 Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Anyone own a 3rd Gen 2011 up Dodge Durango. We just bought an 11 from a friend. I know the history on it so that was a big factor. The wife has loved this truck since our friend bought it.
RDawson Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Is that the Vtwin model, air cooled, belt drive.......... never mind.
djh3 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Posted March 23, 2019 Well its only a V-8. But lately manufactures run 2 plugs per cylinder to get that "last burn" in on exhaust gas as it escapes to reduce emissions.
BlueSky Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Oh, the mighty Hemi! I got one of those in my 2005 Magnum. Makes me smile every time I step on the gas!
djh3 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Posted March 24, 2019 Just did a little R N D on it today. Actually I was looking for something else. But found out that the chassis design was built by Mercedes for the Mercedes-Benz GL Which I guess is some kind of fancy suv. I know it rides nice and handles well.
BlueSky Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Daimler Benz left its mark on Chrysler vehicles when they owned the company. The Dodge Charger, Magnum, Challenger, and the Chrysler 300 are built on a Mercedes chassis and at first had a Mercedes drive train except for the engines. Now they have a German designed 8 speed auto.
Scifiman Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I am on my second Durango, traded in my 14 Citadel for an 18 GT last fall, just 3.6 for me, it has plenty of power and with the electronic 8 speed not too bad on fuel.
