I love all of the videos. I have learned a lot from watching. I have been very interested in the sonoma engine series, because I have to replace an engine in my vehicle. Keep up the great work!

If you do a search online for 04 durango engine failure, you will find hundreds if not thousands of chats and videos on youtube. IF you search the national transportation bureau’s web site for 04 durango, there are hundreds of complaints about this same exact ( I mean the description from everyone is IDENTICAL to what happened to me) thing. I guess over time the intake gasket starts to leak. I had my truck in the shop a few years ago, because I thought the oil cap smelled like gasoline. The mechanic told me that water was getting into the engine because of the intake tube and filter I had put on the truck. He said It was common with the cone filters and wouldn’t hurt anything because it would be such a small amount getting in. We have had a lot of rain for the past 2 years and I knew nothing about the issue with the cowl leaking. Then one day I was leaving a parking lot on a rainy day( it had been raining all day)and the engine sounded like I was grinding up rocks in it. When I pulled over I had a hole the size of a small orange in the side of my block. The rest is history. I find it funny that the NTSB will force car companies to do a recall because of 1 or 2 idiots didn’t know how to drive(Toyota) but they wont do a thing when hundreds have a problem with a Government owned auto maker. Makes you wonder.

so, you think changing the motor to a newer version of the hemi will be the same problems as say swapping to a chevy engine? Pretty much I have no choice but to put in a 04 or 05 hemi?
