Driving next to me is frustrating... driving in my blind spot infuriates me. I think it's from previously riding a motorcycle, where you learn to get through someone's blind spot as fast as you can. I have idiots stay in my blind spot for miles upon miles, even when the road has zero traffic...

Death by chemicals or random shooting... main two options for Hopewell residents

Our local town is able to patrol a mile or so of interstate next to my house, and they show no mercy. Over the last year they've switched to black Durangos with black decals... the only difference are the decals are a matte finish. It's pretty ridiculous, but anyone in the area knows not to...

Punch down tool... used to terminate communication cables in punch down boxes. It's the proper way to land wires in the junction boxes you see for telephones, networking, etc. Spring loaded, punches the wire down onto the IDC terminations.

I have a '13 with the 5.7, awd and towing package. Has over 185k and has been great. I've towed multiple times with it, the heaviest being my '79 W150. It was about a 2.5 hour trip and it did better than expected. Only maintenance items have been water pump (x2), front lower control arm...

187,000 on my '13 Durango. Only issues have been water pumps (failed catastrophically every 70,000 miles), motor mounts, broken exhaust manifold bolts, oil pressure sending unit, and now a badly leaking oil pan. Pretty dang trouble free IMO; water pump is the only thing that left me stranded...

Definitely not easy. I did it the first time while also replacing broken exhaust manifold bolts... that was the real nightmare. The front tires up on ramps give enough access, but everything is tight. On the upside, it'll probably feel smoother at idle than you can likely remember. Amazing...

I've done them a few times... not the most enjoyable, but there are worse jobs. I unbolt the engine and lift it until there's adequate clearance. I don't really unhook anything else (exhaust, hoses, etc). The first time made me a little nervous lifting it up high enough, but there is enough...

NP435 definitely has a longer 1-2 throw then 3-4. Just had the trans out and apart from my '79... it's very simple compared to anything modern.

My high yield savings with CIT is 5.05% and your money isn't tied up for a year. I would've expected a CD to have higher returns

Gear side down in a bucket would probably work out well. I just oil mine and wrap it in a plastic bag.

I've worked in maintenance and electical/instrumentation at a chemical manufacturing plant. Doesn't mean I know a thing about chemicals though...

Can't agree with this enough. Personal Property Tax is the single biggest frustration I have, and actively encourages me not to buy things.

Guess I was lucky... I just bought a cheap one from Advance when mine went out on the side of the road and it lasted years until I sold the truck. Like you said, it's easy to replace. Easiest water pump I've ever dealt with.

Just down the road from me. The Charger has been for sale for awhile, so I'm guessing it's real rough. Super Bee wasn't for sale last time I saw the Charger listing... agree it looks to be priced too high.

My guess is something small clogged up a passage in the carb... probably somewhere in the idle circuit. That's why it'll run when you give it throttle. I'd pull the bowl and metering block and blow out all the passages.

Good catch... a pin hole like you experienced is usually a good warning that things are deteriorating. You can use an ultrasonic thickness gauge to evaluate these things too, but if you don't have access to one it doesn't make much sense to buy vs just getting a compressor.

I've done the same job on my wife's Durango and need to do it again... quite the pain, but I didn't have to remove the manifold. Did you put in OEM mounts? I put in cheap aftermarket and they failed within 15k. Just called Dodge and the OEM are backordered with no eta.

Very cool cars, and Aaron is a stand-up guy that runs a great shop. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with him a few times, and my friend has assisted him with standing mile events. The truck he built before these cars is just as awesome and probably even more impressive.

As someone looking for a nice b-body, asking prices like this are nauseating. I hope there isn’t a poor soul out there that would even inquire about it… hideous
