01 Dodge Durango
I was looking at a durango tonight and when i started it up there was a mild knock. I don't know whether it was in the motor or like exhaust or just something lose. I was just curious if anyone had any ideas. And if you need it the car has the V8 and 105,000 miles.

thanks

knock could be a bearing in the engine, a bad water pump, a trans issue, low oil pressure, or just general wear

if it knocks it probably wasn't well cared for (especially that low a mileage)

Durangos only came with V8 engines, there was no six cylinder available. Which V8? The 4.7L Magnum, the 5.2L 318, or the 5.9L 360?

4.7 the two others weren't offered in 01 unless you got an R/T and the V6 was only offered in 00'

... oh yeah, that's right, you Americans had the option of a pussified Durango. They didn't offer the V6 Durango in Canada. All of ours were V8s.

The V6 gets worse real-world mileage than the V8 in big trucks. And who the hell would buy a two-wheel-drive SUV??
