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.

Thanks for viewing, Dan

Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.

Is Mopar readying a special-edition Dart for Chicago?

Sat, 26 Jan 2013

Chrysler has released the above teaser of a limited-edition Mopar 2013 model that will be unveiled at next month's Chicago Auto Show. Although the automaker doesn't announce what vehicle will get the Mopar treatment, closer investigation of the seats and center console suggest that this car will be a special version of the 2013 Dodge Dart.
This will be the fourth Mopar model in as many years, following on the heels of the Mopar 2010 Challenger, Mopar 2011 Charger and the Mopar '2012 300. There are no details for the Mopar '13 Dart, but we do see that the car will retain the signature black-and-blue color scheme as past Mopar editions. Like these previous models, we expect production of Mopar '13 Dart to be limited to just 500 units.
Scroll down for Chrysler's press release teasing the new Mopar model, and we'll be sure to bring you plenty of live images from the show floor in a couple weeks.
