Will a 2007 4.7L dodge motor fit in my 2003 Dodge Durango (also a 4.7)?

#843 of 851 PCM has a brown liquid showing up in harness plug by gunney3

2001 durango has a brown fluid showing up in the 3rd plug of the harness(3rd from left to right,furthest right in other words) My dashboard crashes and says no bus.Gagaes are go to zero. I found this issue week ago, dried it out with electronic fluid and car was fine for 5 days but crashed again. Took harness apart from pcm and found liquid in 3 rd compartment again. The harness wires are DRY going into the pcm and there is no visual splatter on the pcm if it was coming from the engine. Any ideas?

2000 Durango with 4.7
 
I had fluid coming from faulty brake fluid level sensor - going back to the O2 sensor. From the upstream junction, the PCM can also receive the same fluid. I bypassed the fluid filled wires and use fresh wires. O2 sensor wiped out but never had the problem with the PCM. Low fluid sensor is the problem.

How do I narrow which wires the fluid is coming from? Also are you saying the fluid is traveling through the inside jacket (of the wire)riding through the copper conductors?
Thanks for your time!

#846 of 851 2011 Durango Coolant Hose Rupture by djselzer

Feb 25, 2013 (6:35 am)

We have an 18 month old 2011 all wheel drive V-8 Citadel that has suffered two coolant leaks in the last 5 months. The last one took place in October of 2012. We were told the muffler "rubbed" a hole in the coolant tubing. At that time, it took 6 weeks to get the tubing from Dodge. Apparently, it was on back-order. That made us wonder if this was a common problem. We suffered a similar rise in temperature and an apparent coolent leak this morning and are waiting to hear if this is a recurrent problem.

A muffler rubbed a hole in a coolant tube? I'd need to see that. I'm not real familiar with the new Durangos but it seems to me the muffler(s) are underneath the body and not close to any coolant lines. Could it be a catalytic converter and not a muffler?

#849 of 851 Help! BCM question 2001 Durango by gunney3

Apr 07, 2013 (3:00 pm)

My dashboard lights are all lit,says "no bus" where mileage is displayed and all my guages are at zero(gas,rpm,mileage,battery voltage). I have had the PCM sent out and tested with no problems found. I had a camshaft sensor replaced because my car wouldn't run longer then 3 seconds(no not the battery).The car starts and runs but no dashboard life.
   My mechanic said when he plugged the meter,monitor in it was forced to turn off because it may have seen a voltage. He said he saw no errors in its memory.
 
Any suggestions or opinions would be appreciated!!
Thanks!
