Durango 5.9L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 121,000 miles

Skipping , Stalling at idle , rough idle , Stumbling , Sludge in the intake runner , unexplained oil loss. All of these issues can be explained by a poor designed intake gasket on the bottom of the intake manifold . It's a two piece intake and the "bottom plate" under the manifold with age starts to leak , and it causes your engine to use oil and you will have a loss of manifold vacuum at idle.If you have a durango with a 5.9 have it checked , it's worth your time.

P.S. check out my post the 5.9l auto tranny problems/fix
