2000 4x4 ClubCab with a 4.7l_V8 engine, built in the Warren,MI plant; sequence number 518299
MileageProblem
200 When slowly accelerating to 20 MPH, harsh shifting from first to second gear. Dealer said this was a common problem for 2000 Durangos and Daks. Dealer reprogrammed computer. Problem fixed.
500 While driving down road, entire instrument cluster goes dead. After a few minutes, comes back to life. Took to dealer and, of course, it was working fine. Dealer went through electrical system and checked connections. Problem fixed.
1200 Instrument cluster goes dead and comes alive again. Dealer can't explain. Also, according to the dealer the next is not a problem...but it sure is annoying. When temperatures get cold, the overdrive won't kick in until sufficient engine temperature is achieved. Other than that, the truck has been great. Used it the other day to pull a Powerstroke FORD out the snow.
