Hey guys, i am looking at a 2001 Durango 5.9L 4x4 with 53k miles.I was wondering if any of you could tell me how well the 5.9's are.Also what to look for when i go for the test drive.Like in problems that it might have.I have a 99 Dakota 3.9 and im looking into something that has more room.The CC just doesnt have the int. space i need.
Anyone who has something to say please let me know.I just need some ideas to have so i know what to look at the most.I dont want to buy something thats going to need alot of work.
Thanks for any help.

One of the major things you can do (seriously) is turn off the radio turn the a/c on and PUNCH IT! Listen for spark knock... if you hear it, the intake belly pan gasket has a leak (more than likely) and it will burn oil (but usually not smoke)
Also put the tranny through its paces, make sure it shifts good and hard under wide-open throttle. Basically run the crap out of it :-) another thing is the ball joints, do some parking lot maneuvers and listen for clunking/popping sounds under the front-end....
Hope i helped
