#712 of 718 Re: 98 DODGE DURANGO [mariea_lynn] by tinkerer Sep 08, 2009 (8:50 am)
Replying to: mariea_lynn (Sep 08, 2009 8:22 am) First off, the code reader would tell you which O2 sensor was setting the code (upstream or downstream) so you only need to replace the defective one. Need to know what type of noise it was making (stumbling, back-firing, etc.) If it sounded like small backfire under your feet and the O2 sensor was still bad, you could have been dumping fuel into the engine which will cause a misfire and could lead to excessive unburned fuel flowing into the exhaust where it will partially burn and sound like a small pop as the engine bucks. How did the exhaust smell when this happened? Did it burn your eyes?     When you say you had an engine put into it, are you saying you had the entire engine replaced??? If so, have the person that did it get it running. Since you threw that variable into the mix, it could be just about anything causing it to not start from a connection left un-done, crimped wire, blown fuse, clogged fuel filter/line, etc. Start by checking fuel and spark and work your way back from there. Remember that the motors, in the Durango, are Benz motors and are about as bullet-proof as you will find in an American SUV. The sensors that control it, on the other hand, are usually where your problems will come from. Stop "shot-gunning" the problem and work methodically to trouble shoot where the problem(s) are.

Replying to: crawfish1 (Sep 07, 2009 1:41 pm) I had the same problem. I took it to a local dealership(not 5 star). they kept it for 3 days and couldn't fix it. They said they called the regional office and got no help. They wanted me to write a letter to Chrysler requesting assistance. I thought it was a joke. I took it to a 5 star dealership (which closed down a few weeks ago by Chrysler) about 20 miles from my house and they fixed it in about 10 minutes for free. Not sure what it was, but the first group was clueless.   Try another dealership.

#716 of 718 Re: o2 sensor + power steering pressure switch Dodge Durango Nightmare [ncdodgeowner] by kenn5 Oct 31, 2009 (11:20 am)
Replying to: ncdodgeowner (Mar 15, 2009 4:55 am) ncdodgeowner, your posts are extremely informative and I appreciate them as they are the only help on the problem. I was wondering if you ever did document the whole proceedure and put it on a webpage and if so what is the address of that page? I did locate an oxygen sensor by-pass harness and have one on order. I need to identify the wires to the sensor in order to make the splices. Your information would by very helpful.
#717 of 718 Need Help Radio & Battery by tracym2 Nov 13, 2009 (7:45 pm)
Okay First off six months ago my radio in my 2006 Durango would only come on about every 4 out of 10 times. You could cranked it and it would play then you stop and shut it off it would not play. After a number of times of cranking the radio would play again.   Now sometimes I go to crank it and it will not start, touch jumper cable to it and it start, that was a month ago. Thursday, I drove it to the store, radio was playing, got back in to start it and battery was dead and no radio. I was only in the store 5 mins.   Could it be a short in the radio or in the key switch?
