What do you haul with?

[austinado16]

The only complaint I have is the brakes. They seem to fade too easily. I will soon be checking into an upgrade in that department.

Good advice above about adjusting the PUP brakes, but I would still recommend upgrading to a better quality front brake pad.  Nice semi-metallics are cheap, and the new ceramics are very reasonable and stop even better with much less dust on the wheels.  To get an idea of price, look 'em up at websites like www.autohausaz.com

You want something that doesn't fade with heat.....no matter if you're towing or not.

I tow with an '04 Durango 4x4.  It's got the smaller, non-hemi V-8 (4.7 l) with a 3.92 rear axle.  Great hauler!  Got 17 mpg towing our pup on a recent trip to the Tetons, featuring lots of grades and lots of crosswinds in Wyoming.  20 mpg highway w/o pup.  16 mpg city.  A bit thirsty, but not too bad for a full-sized (yeah, they call it mid-sized, but it's full-sized) SUV with a V-8, in my book.  Really pleased with the 17 mpg towing.  Seems like the engine finally got broken in after 50k.

The Durangos had a bunch of problems with rearend failures.  Something to do with retainer clips or something coming out of the differential.  Did they fix that prior to your year model?

Great mileage by the way, especially towing.  One nice thing about the PUPs...they're down out of the wind!

I believe all of the rear end problems with Durangos happened with the 1st gen models (prior to '04).  There were also some front axle problems, I believe, that led to a recall, but that was also 1st gen.  I am not aware of any major problems or recalls with the 2nd gen Durangos.  Mine has 60k and has performed flawlessly. *Knock on wood*

[skamper75]

94 F150 extended cab  5.0L w/ G.T. cam and roller rockers, 3.73 locking rear. Not real strong out of the hole but once it gets rolling its all good.  12-14 mpg. It has a bit of brake fad but Im mindful of it. The rear drums have been resurfaced to much which probally doesnt help plus these trucks always had complants of brake fad.  My oversized, tandom axle, 75 Skamper pop up is heavy and came with hydrolic trailer brakes but havnt been functional since Ive owned it.  Ive only had to pass a person while trying to stop once. Talk about drawed up tight!!!  It was my wife and she was tailgateing someone else when they decided to turn, guess I was to close too.
