My minivan served me well but it's gone. I picked up an 03 SLT 4x4 with a 5.9 yesterday. Very, very clean. 41,000 miles on it. Patriot Blue. Factory leather, factory hitch, Mopar bug guards, Mopar rear spoiler (never seen one before.) 3.55 gears, open rear (for now.) Also has some sort of catback exhaust on it. A little quiet for my taste but okay for now. I'm very happy to be back in the land of V8 owners, even with the price of gas.

Beautiful D there, and an 03; the best year in my opinion. Very sharp but that back window is a little bare. Better hurry and slap a DOC member sticker on it and claim your extra 5hp!! :)

Billy, welcome aboard.
However, that DOC sticker should also come with a Gen 2 Wiper conversion to complete that 5 HP upgrade :cheesy:
I do like that chrome bug guard, and might look for one to replace my Mopar bug deflector.

According to the Chrysler VIP Report, that chrome bug guard is a Mopar part that got installed at the dealership. Must have been an available part back then?

I saw the Gen 2 wiper thread. I think I'm going to jump on that.
 
Nice ride and welcome aboard

NICE looking D!! That blue color was my second choice. I ended up with the Garnet Pearl (burgandy).

You have the last year of the Gen 1, and probably the best with rear disc brakes and a 7/70 powertrain warranty as long as you're the second owner, and paid the xfer fee.

Is your transfer case part time or full time??

I like the Garnet Pearl a lot. Had an 02 Dak that color. I do have the 7/70. I like the brakes a lot. I had a couple of Dak Quad Cabs and the rear disc rocks compared to the setup on those.

Part-time transfer case. Exactly what I wanted 5.9 and part-time - therefore 9.25 rear. I think I got the best Gen I combo I could.
 
Bill you definitely have what I'd consider to be #1 in the gen 1 Durango's
Great find
BTW Do you own KRC Performance? Or do you just work there?
Just curious

Good to know!
You both may want to become Corporate Members. That way you get some web advertising here as well.
Did you get in touch with Indy Durango regarding membership?
Let me know if I can help with anything.

Hey Bill,
I visit KRC website from time time, and for sure you guys have a lot of goodies for the Dodge, and Jeep community.
Some day I hope to purchase some of your KRC parts, and or services to further enhance the performance of my D.
