As you know, we have two Durangos. One as a parts vehicle, the other fixing to be registered and run on the road. Well, guess what?

We’re getting our third first-gen Durango. Another one, also with the 4.7 V8, a 2000, nearly identical to the 2000 I already have. The other first gen we have is a 2002. Again, a 4.7. Why, you ask? Well, for one it’s dirt cheap at $300. For two, it has absolutely NO rust. A first-gen Durango on the east coast, with no rust? It’s a unicorn! The problem? It won’t start. Likely a fuel pump. It suddenly shut off when the original owner was driving it, and is getting very little fuel pressure. But we have other Durangos, and Dodge trucks of the same vintage we can raid. For the price, why the hell not?

Yeah, mismatched wheels? So what? A good deal is a good deal.

I wonder how many units apart they are.

I have 2 1984 VW rabbit Gti, I have always wondered the age difference and how close they were from each other coming off the line. They aren't both at the same location do I just can't go out in the garage to take a look.

That’s a good question. I’ll have to take a look at that once I get it back to the rents house. Keeping it there because my stepdad has a garage and tools.

This is going to be the 4th first-gen Durango on their property. A ‘99 with the 5.9, two 2000s, and a 2002. Plus a 1996 and 2000 Ram. So. Much. Parts. Sharing.
