that is a sexy steering wheel

 

Yeah it looks like it will work
I used a SRT8 Challenger wheel in my D
The process to change it is not difficult but tedious and care need to be taken
Disconnect Battery before you start.
When you get the wheel, you will utilize almost all your plastic trim pieces from wheel

wow i'd consider doing this, the srt wheel is definitely nicer.

 

does anyone know if it is heated by chance?

 

looked it up it is a heated wheel, the wheel from rtpartsco.com is 611.00, not bad really. is there anyone out there that can confirm airbag dimensions, i dont really want to purchase an SRT airbag if my dodge one can pop right on there.

 

Does the SRT wheel come with the airbag cover? Or do you need to buy it separately? I would definitely consider this.

 

You can use your Dodge Airbag

Can you swap the SRT cover onto the Durango airbag? Has anyone posted a DIY?

 

the srt cover is on the airbag itself, you would need to purchase the airbag, for me the car is not an SRT so having an SRT bag on the wheel is advertising the car as something its not (im a purist in that sense, if you dont got it dont say you do).

 

I was more just curious. I probably wouldn't do the SRT cover/bag. I don't think it's really false advertising. The part is, after all, from an SRT. Not like you are swapping a ******-H for a regular one, and trying to pass off an Elantra as a Civic.

I was hoping someone had done a DIY on the wheel swap. Just want to know how much time to devote to the install.

 

Here's a DIY for the Gen3 Durangos

That is the swap I did going to the red one.
20-25 mins max.

Anyone have the part number for the 2014 SRT wheel?

 

Nice upgrade! Think I will start my hunt for a SRT8 steering wheel.

 

i dont know the parts number, but i found it on rtpartsco.com just by going into 2014 jeep cherokee for parts search, then steering and suspension, its under steering wheel, lists the steering wheel on there.

 

I saw it there too, but it would be nice to have the PN so I can shop around.

 

I am getting you the information and pricing

Thought I would bump this post. Has anyone done the swap on a '14? Would love to give it a go but would hate to loose any of the steering wheel features.

 

Since I am intrigued about the steering wheel swap, myself, I am bumping this threat. Has anyone performed this swap on a 2014/15 yet? Was it seamless? Can you use the existing Durango center cap and airbag assembly?

 

I have the wheel and my mechanic was in the process of removing the airbag from the original wheel and it would not come off! We checked the directions and we still could not remove it. Looks like there is a special airbag removal tool we did not have. We have the tool now and looks like my SRT8 gets installed on Monday. Pics to come later!

 

Those left handed screw drivers!


Can't wait for the pics!

 

Killers pics of your steering wheel?

 

just realized this is the only good shot i have

 

Looks good! I like it!

 

Mine is still waiting in the garage for me to be sure it's not heading to the great "lemon law" car heaven.

When I first saw this and knowing that I was going to do SRT Spider monkeys and Brembos it's a must have mod. Not that the stock Durango steering wheel is bad, it's just NOT sporty. No contour at all. Many less sporty SUV's have far more contour to the steering wheel in the higher trim levels. I went back and forth with using the dodge or SRT airbag and I going to go with the SRT one. Like "S-Line" for Audi, not really an S4 but styling cues and some performance parts. Probably won't badge the back with the "SRT Design" badge but still up in the air on that one.

UFO: I thought you just had a faulty JGC srt wheel which was why your heat didn't work? You are running a charger one now so all functions work?

Cbowens: Looking forward to you getting yours done so I can hear for sure if the heat element is hooked up or not.

I thought the JGC SRT wheel was faulty. I am running a 2015 charger SRT one and it works 100%. I then got another 2014/2015 Jeep SRT wheel, i swear i tested it and the heat did not work. But its been a while. I'll test it again when i swap in hydrodipped steering wheel pieces i should have in maybe 2 weeks.
