Hello, up for sale is one of my toys. I am selling it to simply free up some funds and pay off some bills. It is paid for and I do not have to sell it, but I hate just seeing it sit the majority of the time so I am giving someone the opportunity to enjoy the Durango and get it out there more. The durango was originally a 2001 SLT 4 wheel drive. It is now converted to 2 wheel drive with the Hemi swap. There was a major realestate issue with the 6.1 hemi oil pan and the front differential. I chose to convert it to 2WD as it does not see the winter weather anymore and the stock trasfer case would of had issues with much 4wd romping. The 6.1 HEMI has a Comp Cams XFI273 cam and Arrington Engines Push Rods in it. The exhaust is pretty much open 3" and dumps in front of the rear tires. It gets pretty obnoxious when out getting on it! Better be careful in areas with noise ordanances! Neighbors with car alarms set will hate it when you take a romp down the street, LOL!! On the dyno the durnago is pushing 400hp at the wheels. It currently has 4.56 gear in it so hope you like buying tires! It ran 13.7 in the 1/4, even with the big heavy 22" rims! (See pics for time slips #742.) I have some much lighter drag radials and rims that will go with if you want them. There is also a nitrous kit partially installed. It just needs the nitrous and fuel lines hooked up under the hood and the controller wired and setup. Currently has a 75 shot jets but I have 100 shot in the kit. The rest of the system will go with, unless you do not want it. If you are wanting to show it more than play with it, there is a larger much more of a show piece sub box that can go with too. It will need re-wired, but will come with the 2 x 15" subs, 2 x 12" subs, and 4 amplifiers that were originally on it. The prettier sub box is much heavier, but the Durango has load leveling assist to level it back up. I also have a hitch that goes with. Some more information on the Durango: It has a beefed up 45RFE trans in it by Bowler Performance. The 6.1 HEMI is from a wrecked '06 Charger SRT8. '04 5.7 HEMI ram ECU so that it can control the engine and the trans, the 5.7 ECU luckily uses the same type of communication as the '01 Durango, so ALL the gages work properly. Also with the 5.7 truck ECU, the 45RFE became a 5-45RFE, meaning one more forward gear ratio. There is always a check engine light on because I did not hook up all the emissions equipment, but if someone wanted to they could purchase the items and wire them in, but without adding catalytic converters and some more substantial mufflers, it won't pass an emissions test. I am sure there is someone out there who can remove the emission codes from the ECU as another option, I just never fully researched it. Please message me with any questions you may have.

2014 Dodge Durango Ron Burgundy ads already have 2.7M views [w/videos]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013The guy who once made the Dodge Stratus a punchline of sorts is now a spokesman for the 2014 Dodge Durango, and the move appears to be paying off handsomely for Dodge. Will Ferrell, acting as 1970s-era TV news personality Ron Burgundy, has teamed up with the automaker for co-branded advertisements between the refreshed 2014 Durango and Ferrell's new movie, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Like Ferrell's fictional character, the ads are outrageous, flamboyant and a bit random. They're also successful: Automotive News says that more than 2.7 million people have already watched the videos since they debuted on October 5.
Those views are similar to the numbers that AN's top viral video of the year (e.g. Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl ad) received, but there will eventually be as many as 70 videos comprising the Burgundy-Durango spots. According to the report, the videos were created primarily as a viral campaign online, although some are airing on television, too. For Dodge's part, the cost of the videos was significantly lower than a usual television campaign thanks to the fact that Ferrell wasn't paid for the spots since they were made in cooperation with promotional efforts for his new movie.
We've already posted a few of the videos in our previous post, but scroll down for several more - and head over to Adweek for a little added background on how these spots came to be.
2014 Dodge Durango teaser reveals new 'racetrack' taillights
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Not wanting to let Jeep get all of the SUV attention for the 2014 model year, Dodge is unveiling a refreshed version of its Durango at the New York Auto Show. Teased in this image, all we can really tell about the 2014 Dodge Durango is that it will be getting Dodge's "racetrack" taillights similar to the Charger and Dart.
The chrome or painted strip currently between the Durango's Zorro taillamps have been removed to allow for a full-width LED array with "DODGE" lettering displayed more prominently above the license plate pocket. Parent company Chrysler also promises that the updated Durango will add "several new class-exclusive features," but stops short of saying what those are. Earlier reports suggest that among the changes, buyers will be able to look forward to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which ought to improve the three-row SUV's fuel efficiency.
2013 Dodge Dart GT
Mon, 16 Dec 2013My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.
