You do know we already have a "What did you do to your truck" thread already?

Or you just curious what the locals are doing?

[Little Blue Guy]

I think it's just for us local guys up here....

But what do I know....

[Neo1130]

The day that this thread was created was the day I was moving... Loaded up the rear of the D and loaded a big ass trailer... The Durango didn't even blink...

[MrMcQ]

Yesterday.... Tinted the front windows (pics eventually).... did the TPS mod (went from .5v to .71)....


Today.... going to wash it... going to attempt the TMR mod (assuming I can find the right wire)... possibly take some pics....

[kingj07]

welp, i broke it!!!!

i am in moses lake and was busting some serious ass in the mud pit in the dunes.. the thing ran fine til i parked it. when i went to give some new friends a ride to their car i noticed the engine light. it popped a p0320 and a p0700. now it idles up and down from 200 to 2000 rpms. it dies on the down slope within about 2-8 cycles. in any gear including neutral the rev maxes out at 2600.

boo.

[MrMcQ]

Dunes? what are those and where? I wanna check it out!

[kingj07]

get on meridian, go to 512, then 167, then 405, then 90... stay there for 160 miles.. youre in. just dont break your shit. :woot:

[MrMcQ]

are there signs for anything... or just tire tracks headed off the freeway?

I was in Moses Lake tonight. I know better than to go to the dunes on Memorial weekend. I worked this holiday weekend when I was a reserve deputy sheriff. It gets gnarly out there. See any boobies?

Shoulda said you were going. Im nearby

[Lil_Bee_R/T]

i ordered a bored out TB for her. and she likes it,lol.

[kingj07]

for some odd reason i didnt think to post up that i was coming here. its not acting up at the moment, but the engine codes both persist. there are signs for the ORV park and thats how you get to the sand dunes. to the former piggy, its really quite laid back. about four years ago alcohol was prohibited and its much less gnarly than it once was.

if anyone happens to see the mud coated D with flag pounded into the roof rack (standing like a billion feet high. lol) thats me. it just might stay in the driveway til i leave on tuesday.

aaaaaaaaaand today, all i did was reset the computer and see how it ran.

[ubernewb]

1. drove to work
2. gutted my airbox effectively turning it into a short ram
3. took an airsaw and 'removed' my back resonator and tip, then unbolted and removed the elephant seal of a stock muffler.

the muffler was more of an experiment than anything else, but she's noticeably quicker without it (goodbye back-pressure) not too mention she sounds mean as all hell. gonna have the local shop put in a small magnaflow muffler and run a side exit pipe just in front of the pass rear tire. should be pretty easy to do.

4. drove home and pissed off my neighbors ;]


fun day

[kingj07]

i drove home from moses lake and a few heat cycles later my engine light went out. it ran fine the past few days just starting up and BAM! things seem all betta! w0000000000000000t! :woot:

[MrMcQ]

Parked the Truck at my parents house, since I don't have room to keep it at my rental... Need to get rid of my DD and get back to driving the dak daily... its so much more fun..

[kingj07]

i so fixed my car today, but since the D is covered, absolutely covered in mud im driving it again tomorrow to work and the srt-4 meet. HAHAH! i put like 10 miles on the car today after it being down for about three months. thats plenty. lol.

[Tex]

^Mud pics?

[kingj07]

if my camera functions tomorrow yes. but only aftermath pictures. the truck acted up on friday so it got parked til i drove it home tuesday. i never had much chance for action pictures.

Install the transgo shift kit, you'll like it alot better. If that isn't enough put a switch on the TMR wire so you can control it while driving.

I've been in the free mods only, until I can come up with some spare coin again. But Ive been watching Ebay recently there's been one there for around $75 I've been wanting.

Today I'm getting my Pipes put on. My wife and I talked about it last night, desiced I wouldnt be using my truck all the time for work, once we move up to Spokane. So I'm Keeping my bumper and all my exhaust parts.

[kingj07]

dang. i think a nice sounding durango would be sweet. my car is stupid loud so its nice to be discreet in the durango. i will have to look at some options when the money frees up. are there many exhaust setups available or do people go custom a lot? i am a gen 1 also.

i didnt do anything to/with my truck for a few days. yesterday i grabbed a 9 iron out of it to smack a wiffle ball around the yard for a bit. sad.

[project_dog]

It took them about two and a half hours to get it done. Fired it up. Oh its has a rumble... Now I'm wondering if it will quite down a little bit, once the muffler is broken in. I'm in Bremerton now, so its going to be hard to post a video and pictures.

[project_dog]

Oh i was getting about 8 to 10 MPG, now i'm getting 12.4 MPG. So the next step is CAI and superchips...

[uwntsumrtII]

swiped some nuts-n-bolts from work. :D

[kingj07]

well, since the silly durango had a headlight go out i didnt get road head in it last night. but i got road head in the srt. :woot:

I call bullshit!:stirthepo

[kingj07]

okay, okay i admit...





























































the headlight wasnt out, i just wanted to drive fast.

[Tex]

I dropped off the truck at the body shop to get repaired. They said it will be done by Wed. or Thurs. Miss my baby. The Liberty Ive been driving is nice, but its a tad too girly for me
