Intake Gasket - 1999 Dodge Durango
By jcronin27 - December 16 - 2:00 amBought it used off a Ford lot. Noticed it using oil within 2 weeks but no oil leaks. Had to go to the dealer once a week or so to have oil added so that they could "chart" the oil use. Finally had to insist that they fix it or take it back. Ended up being a bad intake gasket. I see from the other reviews (and heard from a Dodge dealer mechanic) that this is common in the 5.9 liter engines. I have an occasional rattle in the rear end on hard acceleration (like the differential is "slipping") Anyone out there had rear-end problems with the 4WD Durango? Wind noise with the window cracked is very bad at highway speeds.

No Problems, Great Ride - 1999 Dodge Durango
By Starfire - November 11 - 2:00 amIn 99 we bought our Durango after a screw up with the Ford dealership on an Expedition. Im glad we took the Ford back. Weve gone from Portland, Oregon to Jasper, Alberta to Los Angeles, California in the rig and havent had a single problem with it. Its a pleasure to drive. I only wish it would get a little better gas mileage but Im not complaining about that too much. Just had its 30k check up and only found a small water leak by the thermostate. Didnt even notice this myself. Very Pleased!!

60K Mi Report - 1999 Dodge Durango
By ghorvathjr - May 10 - 10:00 amVehicle has performed extremely well through first 60K miles. There was (and continues to be), however, some excessive wearing on insides of front tires. Ive checked with other Durango owners and this appears to be a relatively common trait. 5.9 Liter engine pulls loaded two horse trailer though mountains with better than expected results. Have performed following services outside scope of normal maintenance & warranty work: -One brake replacement (to be expected) -One water pump replacement (at 55K miles) at a cost of $1500.00.
