my daughter turns 15 in a couple months and im in the process of buying her first vehicle montana licenses kids at 15. after a lot of careful consideration we have decided to get her a durango and we spent the day test driving. heres what i found so far 2001 durango slt loaded w/ 4.7 v8. 41000 original miles $10700 out the door. no third seat. leather very clean. http//billings.montanawheelsforyou.com/details.phpeqvehicleid=24921826&eqdealerid=150738 carfax says its clean with only 1 owner. vehicle originally registered in alaska. service records on carfax were impeccable. 2000 durango slt loaded with 5.9 v8. 99500 miles $8000 out the door. http//billings.montanawheelsforyou.com/details.phpeqvehicleid=24921821&eqdealerid=150738 carfax says its clean with 2 previous owners wisconsin and montana. truck drives great feels a little weak compared to the 4.7. 4x4 indicator did not work dealer says 4x4 works. 2000 durango slt loaded with 5.9 v8. 88000 miles $8500 out the door. sorry no link leather overall very clean but the truck has racing stripes glass pack mufflers air box replaced by an edelbrock carb style breather. no obvious signs of abuse but typically people who do these sorts of things to their trucks drive them harder. 4x4 indicator did not work dealer says 4x4 works. 2000 durango loaded

actually before i read this thread i desperately need to get some tires so i left early in the morning. hammertime i did buy the bfg all terrains though. i was pleased with them. i drove about 400 miles with them already and satisfied so far. thanks everyone hammertime wrote on oct 18 632 pm ford donotem...@sbcglobal.net wrote i have a 96 dodge ram 1500 4x4 that i use 65% highway and 35% off road in rugged terrain. i have researched a bit and still need help on tire selection. which tire would you guys recomend bfg all terrain. stay away from bfg a/t. i despise them. i had 2 sets.... thought there was something wrong with the first set... there was really something wrong with me for buying them once then again. goodyear workhorse extra grips just curious what didnt you like about the bfg all terrains i have run the bfg all terrains and mud terrains and had good luck with both. .

@.alt.net // remaining whining & crying flushed // instead of whining & crying here and unwilling to invest a freakin few dollars to solve your problem get rid of the truck. dont you think you got a freakin long life out ot the truck by now that youd be willing to invest a few freakin dollars if you wanted to keep the truck bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wow! some people have worse issues then my mini-van. i think this guy needs to bend over and let me add some injector cleaner..hes not firing on all cylinders. .

i did service it comletely flushed it and have put three new thermostats in it the last two years. after i got three states away and it got warm and started heating i took it in and had it serviced again. about $125 each time. yes but did you clean the exterior of the radiator chris pointed out that it gets stopped up and i agreed it was a common problem. you might want to pull the radiator out and clean the fins out. they get trash oily residue and dirt picked up that must be removed for good airflow. .

what about the fan itself may not be working correctly. they have electric fans that replace it. saves on fuel too. ive had a 1999 dodge ram cummins for 5 years now and have noticed that whenever i pull my 25 camper in temperatures above 93 degrees f. it overheats. is this a common problem i bought the dodge so i can pull my camper in any temperatures and obviously the dodge isnt cutting in. any recommendations chevy ford .
