They are both 3500 ETH HO Cummins with DG8 Auto trans. The red one, #1 above was sold direct retail and went in for 1 service diagnostic call. The silver one, #2 above was sold as a Chrysler lease and has never been in the shop although there is an outstanding recall on the transmission line that needs to be done. Hope that helps!

Interesting link... according to the .pdf link, mine is a Durango 4x4, per the 5th character in my VIN... everything else checks out. Funniest looking Durango I've ever seen

I think they change a little every year, is yours an 04?

The fifth digit for mine is a 5 which says it is a Dodge Durango! First Durango I've seen with a Cummins and DRW's!!! lol

Are you sure your counting right? The fifth position on the 2005 VIN should be a letter!! A "B" or a "D" would be a Durango, I would expect yours to be and "R" or and "S" for Heavy Duty Pickup 4x2 or 4x4.

Try this for the 2004/2005 models.

It says that the fifth digits are different, an S is for a Ram pickup heavy duty 4x4.

bpedrod,

You are most correct. I guess I miss took the "S" for a "5". Maybe time for glasses!!

As long as you don't see and DRW Cummins Durango's you should be doing OK!
