Q: how good are the transmissions and brakes electrical. on 2000 and 2003 models. after reading alot of reveiws on durangos i come away withthe impression they have trans electrical and oil pump problems. do you think it would be a good idea to have a extended warranty if i bought one .

the system has a captube not an expansion valve to control the refrigerant and does not use a hp switch. true about the txv valve - but not true about the hp switch. its right on the discharge line coming out of the compressor and opens up at around 450psi .

im guessing its located on the top side of the engine. just blew a lower radiator hose and decided to replace the stock thermostat with a 185 degree unit as is highly recommended. let me know if i am correct in my assumption on location. also any tips anyone may have while im in here doing this would be appreciated. next week im doing the dt tracbar ball joints from quad 4x4 and borgeson steering shaft. 2001 ram 2500 qc 4x4 5 speed. -- laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. in the battle between money and love money will always triumph i may have to change my signature......on second thought i was right the first time. .

oh really the crank chain doesnt go to the intake shaft then the chains linking the exhaust shafts to the intake hmmm had not been into one of those they came out right before i left the dealership for the diaper factory. still leaves me wondering what the heck was i thinking at times. someone correct me if im wrong but i belive the 4.7 uses a timing chan system simmular to the 2.7 v6 yep - three chains actually one from the crank sprocket to the idler sprocket and then one each from the idler sprocket to the cam sprockets. .

blinks three time pause blinks 5 times pause blinks 5 times. then out. is this some dtc code im having trouble looking it up. no... what you got was a code 12 1 flash pause two flashes that indicates the pcm has lost power at some point in the last 50 starts means you disconnected the batteries or disconnected the pcm. the code 55 which you read correctly simply means end of codes. in other words you have no stored diagnostic codes. by power problems - are you talking electrical or engine output .
