Sweet new rims... How does the exhaust sound? Did the TPMS work well on your car?

Exhaust sounds pretty good. Definitely looks so much better than the single outlet.

TPMS seems fine, drove almost 60 miles back to SI with no issues. Funny though, I got an email from Chrysler/uconnect that there was a significant under inflation issue with my vehicle. Evidently, it read a system failure while it was in the middle of the rim swap I suppose.

Installed front Brembos and Power Stop cross-drilled/slotted front/rear rotors.

Notice any stopping distance? Is that the reason everyone is changing to Brembos brakes?

Washed the Durango today for the first time. Look gorgeous.

I think the brakes is the thing I like least about this vehicle. Coming from performance brakes on a sports car to smaller rotors and extra weight, I just don't like. If I didn't need to change the rims I would be all over it.

How much did it cost you and from where, prices seem different everywhere. What's your opinion and how the install? Plan on getting the same one. Best design IMHO.

Shopped around a while and waited. Saw the price drop on Amazon one day and purchased. Think it was around $260. Did purchase the pre filter as well, to make the 100k mile filter last a little longer, haha.

The install would have been easy if my Dango came with all of the factory hoses. Had to run down to Auto zone for a breather hose. Also the instructions were a little backwards on one of the mounting connectors to the power steering. Had to flip it. Otherwise, it was easy as hell. Great little mod.

Putting on new rear rotors today.
Picked up a oil filter at the dealer for my next oil change in the next 2-4 weeks.
I am at 202,620 miles on the original motor.
I average about 250-350miles a day.
Going to stick with the Pennzoil platinum full synthetic from now on.

Still having a slight lifter noise on first start up in the morning that last about 10-20 seconds but, I am thinking that's how long it takes the oil pressure to build up and reach the top of the motor.

Other then that motor sounds strong.

Put on some Jeep SRT 20x10 spider monkey wheels to test fit them on the durango. Going to run them for a few days. But looks so good. I will post some pics later

Put a new ignition lock cylinder assembly in the 2005 Durango. After over 300,000km, the old lock was so worn, you could remove the key in any position.

Bought an uncoded cylinder kit with a full set of tumblers and coded it to match the existing keys. Hopefully, now that the keys can't be removed unless it's in the "Lock" position, the overnight battery drainings that were occurring when the key was removed in the "Acc" position, will cease.

Put in heat shield on driver's side rear, inside of lower valence to complete the single to dual exhaust swap. Thanks again to Andy at eastcoastmoparts.com for getting me the right stuff first time around.
There's one for ya': "...having your parts guy get you the correct part; the first time...priceless."
