#116 of 125 Re: Nitro towing capabilities [teqtony] by petergibbons Jun 18, 2008 (12:22 pm)
Replying to: teqtony (Jun 01, 2008 5:12 am) I have not towed a tandom axle, but did tow a two place enclosed snowmobile trailer at about 2000#'s. It did surprisingly well. Towed it 800+ miles and had no problems and did most of it in 4 wheel drive. I do not have the tow package but added the mopar hitch. It is a 3.7 SXT. The only major complaint was it has very uncomfortable seats for a person my size at 6'2" 260. It has very little thigh support.

Replying to: barbara22 (May 21, 2008 12:12 pm) I also had that "shudder" when driving about 40mph. Other people people in the car do not notice it but I find it very annoying. I will probably just live with it until the lease is up. I leased the vehicle because of the cheap price,convianant dealer, tow capasity and it made by a american company. If i was buying and not leasing I would not have gotten this vehicle because of the poor comfort, ride quality, and resale. Have had a number of Duangos, Rams, and a Liberty in the past, really liked them (except MPG). I test drove most all the small SUV's last year and have to say the Honda CRV was my favorite.

Replying to: petergibbons (Jun 18, 2008 12:47 pm) A flash typically fixes that shudder. I had it too and had it flashed and it resolved the issue. Replies to this message: barbara22 (Jun 24, 2008 7:25 am)

Replying to: barbara22 (May 21, 2008 12:12 pm) The torque convertor is the cause of your shudder. The flash is to be done after the torque convertor in the transmsission is replaced. I am a dodge, chrysler, jeep tech so feel free to ask any other questions.

Replying to: rfloyd4 (Feb 06, 2007 11:30 am) torque convertor replacement and a reflash of the pcm. Unfortunatley there have been a few cases where the torque convertor has to be replaced several times to get one that is good.

Replying to: barbara22 (Jun 09, 2008 5:11 am) I am a dodge tech and sometimes it takes more than one torque convertor replacement to fix the shudder problem. Our parts suppliers are not producing quality parts at this time. The flashing lights sounds like a problem in the instrument cluster which in itself is a module or in the front control module. any other questions I would be happy to help out with Replies to this message: barbara22 (Jul 14, 2008 6:54 am)

#125 of 125 NITRO PCM & TIPM Problem by 2fresh Aug 21, 2008 (12:16 pm)
I have a 2007 Nitro SLT. It has shut off on me several times, even on the highway going 65 plus. There was a recall on the truck, I took it last year 08/07 to have the recall performed. The NITRO shut off on me again a few days ago, it is in the shop again. I really fear for my safety. Finally, the repair shop calls me and tells me I need a Flashupdate to my TIPM & PCM and are asking that I pay a 100 dect. for this. Are they serious? I said this is the same reason why it was in the shop last year and you are making me pay for something that was never fixed. What should I do, I don't feel safe. My truck has cut off on me at least 7 times on the road. I will never get a DODGE again.
