Where can I get an oil change on my Dodge Durango?
I was impressed lately when I took it to a Grease Monkey, which is an oil change franchise common in Colorado, and learned that one of their other customers owns 2 Dodge Durangos of the same vintage as mine and each was approaching 300,000 miles with no major issues.
Are there transmission problems in a Dodge Durango?
I started searching for Dodge Durango transmission problems on Google and came across a YouTube video that showed a similar issue, except this guy was having his problem at 70 mph where the vehicle kept dropping into and out of overdrive.
What kind of coolant does a Dodge Durango use?
The Durango has the standard green coolant while the Dakota has red coolant. The towing package comes with a two core radiator and transmission cooler. Without the towing package you get a single core radiator and no transmission cooler. The first time the Durango overheated, I was going up the grapevine on a warm day (about 85-90 degrees).
What is going on with the 2001 Dodge Durango?
What is going on with the 2001 dodge durango? The cooling problem is an issue. I have a 2004 Durango (4.7L V8) with the same/similar overheating problem. I figured it was the fan clutch (nope) because when I rev the engine in idle, the temp comes down.

What to do if your Dodge Durango is having transmission problems?
So if you have a Dodge Durango or Dodge truck based on the same chassis and you’re having transmission issues like I described, you may want to change these sensors to see if the fix works for you too. There’s too high a temptation for a dealership or transmission shop to want to ‘over repair’ and hence over charge for a simple issue like this.
How much does a governor solenoid cost on a Dodge Durango?
The only other candidates that I could think of based on my research were the governor solenoid and governor pressure sensor. Unfortunately, these parts are inside the transmission and are a bit more expensive (about $80 for the sensor and $120 for the governor solenoid). Of course, that meant dropping the pan which is a messy job.
What should the ohms be on a Dodge Durango?
Ideally, it should read from about 800 ohms to 5 K-ohms and increase consistently while rotated in one direction. The sensor is easy to access on the side of the throttle body just under the air box.
