5.7 HEMI Durango Upgrade

[The Cuda Guy]

So I got a great deal on a Intake upgrade for my Durango, I installed it today in about 2 hrs with help from a friend.  Right away I can tell the diference.  Im about to go to MI and I wanted to save a little on gas, Im hoping that I can get a 3-5 mpg diference at 80 mph.  We will see.  I will keep you updated on the mpg diference.

This is not a K&N kit, its just a filter, total with shipping and the K&N Air Filter all I paid was $75, If anyone else is interested in this type of set up I can pass on the contact info.

A cold air intake will definitely improve your mileage...I just dunno by how much.

   I agree they'll increase your mileage and power but you have to be careful how they are set up.  They do sound great when you get on it! 

At highway speed they'll all run pretty well but at lower speeds they may not take in the outside ambient air but may take in the under hood air which is more hot and less dense and you may actually lose power from a standstill.

That's why many cars that have the cold air intake set up have an insulator wall that insulate the hot under hood air away from the air filter.  You can make one out of aluminum or any stiff material that is easy to cut, etc.  Just my 2 cents.

Don,

I have the same setup on my 99 Durango.  Just make sure you keep the filter clean.  It tends to attract a lot of dirt being exposed like it is. Also make sure you disconnect the battery for a little while so the computer can readjust to the new flow when you reconnect it.  If I remember correctly that is what they told me to do.

Thanks for the heads up on the Comp reset.  I didnt think of it and it wasnt mentioned in the instructions.  I will have to reset it later today after my wife gets home from school.

Don't know if this is applicable but recently I had a battery replaced at the Interstate Dealer & they had me turn the ignition switch on/off three times rapidly then start the car, said that it reset the computer.

Looks like a cool setup.      Ummm Michigan??  You do know its cold here??  Suppose to snow this week     You'd be better off going south instead of north and visit Florida or something!!

That is funny you mention that, I have heard the same thing back in the day.........  I will check to see if that works,  I guess that the display is suposta flash on and off once it has been reset or somthing like that?

just like js said just disconnect the battery. but you might have to keep it running till the computer relearns everything encluding shift patterns and what not....the key on and off thing works on alot of the older and some newer dodges to pull codes from...

I'm sure it's not directed at "Total B.S.".  JS27NOB works for a Chrysler dealership, I believe.

Someone call me?...lol

Chryco did the key thing on my Durango at Carlisle trying to diagnose a problem.  It must have some value for something.
