dodge durango dyno run

[JayinHogtown]

300hp at the crank - Transmission and rearend eat 65hp. I'm at 210/272 with my 4.7 Rango, looking for another 60 :-D

[midniteOG]

@JayinHogtown i hear buddy! what all do you have done to it?

[JayinHogtown]

@midniteOG HO intake, K&N CAI, E-fan, Thrush muffler, 180* stat and SCT

[midniteOG]

@JayinHogtown nice mod list... ive been thinking of doing the E fan, sct tuner and swapping the stat aswell

[JayinHogtown]

@midniteOG Methinks you and I have already discussed our trucks on D-D... Still haven't done the e-fan, eh? lol

[midniteOG]

@JayinHogtown lol its quite possible... but nope, still havent done it! haha working on other things, visors covered, new headlights, and some random interior stuff

[JayinHogtown]

@midniteOG I'm now looking into a Hemi swap...

[midniteOG]

@JayinHogtown awesome! ill be keeping tabs!

[95mark8]

i love durangos, only the older models like 97-01 or 02 -- then they started making the ugly ass new ones. yours looks sick, nice power too

[midniteOG]

@95mark8 hey thanks! yes, i wasnt a big fan of the years following mine, although the 2011+ model is pretty nice.. thanks for the kind words!

[antknee420]

What a waste of a dyno run.....yay 235hp, my old cavalier had about the same with half the weight LOL

[midniteOG]

@antknee420 LOL good for your old cavalier

[antknee420]

@midniteOG I'm just sayin, why bother tuning an SUV anyways, nothing like taking corners worse than a 70's camero.

[Dnjcomputing]

@antknee420 dude the durangos like mine is a 99 5.9 250 but 345 Ib of tourqe. but now im pushing 310 with about 380 so ok come to south dakota look for a grey durango with loud flowmaster duals and well have a pull off, plus urs is a shitty i prob wont have to hit the gas just idel

[antknee420]

@Dnjcomputing Your prob right if I had "my old" car anymore lol

[Lynaugh1028]

Sick looking Durango the only thing I'm not crazy for are the skinny tires

[midniteOG]

@Lynaugh1028 hey thanks! instead of the 22's in the video, i now have 20's on it... so i have a bit more rubber... i think it looks a bit better

[SuperGoalie30]

You should get a better video of your durango! It looks sick!! What kind of mods do you have?

[midniteOG]

@SuperGoalie30 hey thanks! i have to many to list, but as far as the engine goes, i have a 68.5mm throttle body, borla exhaust., K&N cold air intake, H/O intake manifold, superchis tuner, and soon to have a set of cams. few others are train horn, tail and headlights, 20" rims, 15% tint, suede headliner, carbon fiber inserts. working on getting another video made. hoping to have some dragstrip footage

[99moparmike]

@midniteOG all those mods for a 5hp increase?? sounds bunk to me man. i have a 99 slt 4x4 5.2L with AEM brute force intake, jet stage 2 performance chip, custom dual3" straight pipes and mild cams and im right at about 385hp to the wheels... all done after i hit 115K miles

[midniteOG]

@99moparmike this is the 4.7l engine.... came stock with 235 at the enging. making 235 at the wheels equates to about 280 or so at the enging

[PSiedTSi]

@99moparmike No you aren't making 385rwhp. 1. The 318 doesn't have "cams", it has ONE cam 2. I only see one thing that actually adds power, the cam, which in no way adds over 100hp to the wheels and 3. You seriously counted a Jet chip?

[yadierval]

i take reliable over fuel economy all day

[midniteOG]

@yadierval as would i....

[BassLoverDari]

nice!lol but still can't compare to a jeep srt8 :D

[midniteOG]

@BassLoverDari lol!! thanks! but im hoping to catch up to that thing! haha

[BassLoverDari]

@midniteOG Still preety cool durango tho,is it bad on gas?Because i'm thinking of getting one myself.

[midniteOG]

@BassLoverDari thanks! well, the way i drive combined with the mods, i get around 12mpg, and them 20 or so on highway driving. not to bad, but not great either.. mines been reliable and tough as hell though

[midniteOG]

@IHIuskY thanks! they are out there. 173k is a bit much. a buddy of mine has one with 230k, still running great. all depends on how you drive/maintain them. i have 105k on mine. but check autotrader, ebay, craigslist, dakota/drurango.com and other related sites.. good luck!

[midniteOG]

@IHIuskY it is 15%.. looks alot darker b/c of the black paint, and black interior... cant complain though

[chuckman101]

It has always been my dream to buy a super light weight car, and to drop a badass durango engine into it. hell yeah man!

[midniteOG]

@chuckman101 lol, now that would be pretty kickass!

[jvfd1730]

Great looken ride man. i have a druango now and am going to buy another dodge soon and im looking for ideas to make my durango a project car. the vids ive seen on here are really getting me excited to build it up.

[midniteOG]

@jvfd1730 awesome to hear that! and thanks for the kind words! definitley keep me posted on the subject, and let me know if i can help.. and if i cant, i know of some resources that can.

[chargerluver1]

"is that a space ship? nah, ats a dodge"

[midniteOG]

@chargerluver1 lol

[clarda1]

Hey what mods you got?

[midniteOG]

@clarda1 @clarda1 lol way to many to list! but for the engine i have an h/o ntake manifolod, K&N cold air intake, superchips tuner, bigger throttle body, exahust, ecu upgrade and some more.. heres my cardomain

[BLUECOLLAR684]

Thats the best Durango I've seen on youtube. That things a Beast!!!!

[midniteOG]

@BLUECOLLAR684 thank you so much for the kind words!

[wcubritt]

i have 2002 with 32x12.50r16s and a 5.9 magnum with a k&n cold air intake that does 337whp and 362ft-lbs torque

[midniteOG]

@wcubritt those are some nice numbers, sounds kickass!

[Mr06vortec]

@wcubritt my 99 durango with exhaust intake and 392 gears with 31s put down 211 and 292 theres no way your at 337 and 362

[clarda1]

@wcubritt um sorry but i had alot more than that and my numbers were no where near yours!

[peanutchopper]

I have an 03 Durango SLT Plus, 4.7 lt V8. It'll run like the wind blows! I wax it every 2 months and keep it clean as a whistle. What year is yours?

[midniteOG]

@peanutchopper i hear ya! i do the same! mines an 2001

[peanutchopper]

@midniteOG Looks really good man. I was going to put some 18 inch flat black wheels on mine, but decided on keeping the 16 inch alloys since they'll never rust.

[midniteOG]

@peanutchopper why thank you!! those 18's would look good tho

[TheDeadman852]

nice... I have a 03 red durango, 4.7 and i thought 235whp was stock...

[midniteOG]

@TheDeadman852

thanks! yes, 235 is stock, but thats 235 at the crank. you loose a good amount trhough the drive train, so 235 is about 300 or so at the crank.

[spencerkodak]

Yo, do you have a nickname for your car? I have the same one and i call it the UAV. haha, Urban Assault Vehicle. but i need a better one.

[midniteOG]

@spencerkodak haha lol man thats kickass!! but i dont. sometime people call it the battle wagon, swat tank, or something along those lines....

[cegomez17]

So what Can I do with my durango i recently got the durango stock 2002 5.2L V8 magnum. any suggest?

[aaminjoshi91]

@cegomez17 Hey man, the 2002 durango didn't come with a 5.2l if your lucky it might be the 5.9l!

[midniteOG]

@aaminjoshi91 i wish i could be so lucky, but mines a 4.7.... still a beast tho!

[aaminjoshi91]

@midniteOG Same here man! i got the 4.7l too! Still a beast though! Mine def sounds like a beast now though!

[midniteOG]

@aaminjoshi91 ya?  what did you do to it?

[aaminjoshi91]

@midniteOG Flow monster high flow cat and a flowmaster super 10 series. it sounds really bad ass! 20 bucks says if i told people it was a 5.9 they'd believe me!

[midniteOG]

@aaminjoshi91 lol nice bro!!! ansd i would probably believe you on that aswell!!!!!!!!!

[aaminjoshi91]

@midniteOG Yeah man! i'm lovin it!

[cegomez17]

Hey i was wondering what you put on the engine and also what kind of rims are do you have?

[midniteOG]

@cegomez17 hey! the wheels in the video are "zinik mazotti" 22" wheels and the engine is a 4.7 liter v8, with a K&N intake, borla catback exhaust, superchips 3715 tuner, h/o intak manifold, and a fastman throttle body.

[lvwv]

ahtyng aviabomb

[TAZxKING]

what did you use to smoke out your taillights?

are your headlights like that too?

[midniteOG]

@TAZxKING

hey! i used a product called "VHT nightshades". youcan google it, but basically you wet snad the tailights and then spray on then sand again and coat with clear coat. pretty simple. i have a se of aftermarket headlights called "sabersports" that are already black....

[SHESABUTE]

hes right! i have a supercharged dodge durango wiyh a 408, low compression. i only got 300 hp at the wheels, but it wasnt running good, went to a vortec charger, 11 psi of boost, and hit 509 hp at the wheels. then i was happy, 12000 bucks later! my vids under shesabute

[midniteOG]

@SHESABUTE

kikckass man! thinking of supercharging mine soon!

[juniorloz]

aaahhhh that would be 235 at the wheels if it came off the dyno...

[aaminjoshi91]

@midniteOG is it really only 235 at the engine? That seems really low man are you sure its not rated that at the wheels? What did your dyno test come out to be? Did they give you the charts for it?

[midniteOG]

@aaminjoshi91 yep 235 engine hp. got the charts for the dyno runs... you may have a bigger engine than me. they offered the 4.7, 5.2 and 5.9 in durangos ranging from 98-03.

[aaminjoshi91]

@midniteOG nope, i got the 2002 4.7l 287 cubic inch engine just like you man and i swear i thought it was more. So my friend has a 205 dhs cadillac the deville or whatever and his is dohc and he has 275 horses, is that at the engine to then? cuz my rango is faster than his northstart even without mods lol!

[aaminjoshi91]

Hey man quick question. If you got all these mods and stuff and you took a dyno run then what did the dyno say your horsepower was? it couldnt still be 235 could it? Just thought i'd ask!

[fordboy111591]

ya i had some addpaters for my 6 hole to a chevy 6 hole and had american racein thrust 20s but bent one and besides those wheel adapters made it stick out to much lol i finaalt found some at a place today for 1600 for 22s all balc may get em if the bank will loan me 2gs lol

[fordboy111591]

no prob hey i got a question what size rim r u running im tryin to find a 22 for mine but that fucked up 6 hole 4.5 mm bolt pattern is holdn me back like bad ive been everywhere lookin for some and only found like 5 or 6 rims that would fit and they was crome i want black lol

[midniteOG]

@fordboy111591

ya man, its tough to find some rims for these trucks. i am running 22's in the video, but have 20's on it now. have you tried getting some adapters?

[fordboy111591]

check out my vid of my 4.7 i got around 300 to the rear wheels and around 375 trq but i got a 125 spray on mine and lots of other shit i love ur color im workin on blackin mine out too

[midniteOG]

@fordboy111591

hey thanks man! checking it out now

[HiJackZX1]

well old school Dodge for life. Anything after 2004 wasnt really built well. So the 235 HP isnt the engine HP, but actually whats coming out at the wheels? I gotta start working on my engine. Right now I am trying to finish a Car PC install first.

[midniteOG]

@HiJackZX1

yessir, 235 at the wheels.. recently i got a new intake manifold and am going to install cams, so ill be at around 250? wheels and well over 300 at the engine..

[bradburn6576]

I'm loving your Durango Bro! what size rims and tires you got? And also is it lowered? Thanks.

5*s!

[midniteOG]

hey thanks man! got 22" zini mazzotti rims on it.. currently its not lowered.. been thinking about it tho.....

[SiggiGunda]

Nice video midnite, your D is always nice man. greetings from Siggi in Iceland DOC

[midniteOG]

[MPLSTORM]

Dodge 4 Life

[midniteOG]

[BLUECOLLAR684]

Nice ride bro. Are you gonna keep it all black or do you have plans to change the color in the future?

[midniteOG]

hey thanks!!! planning on keeping it all black for now.. quite possibly re-painting sometime down the road, but it will still be black!! haha

[RAYITO6138]

This is the best looking Durango i've see... Nice job...

[midniteOG]

why thank you!!!

[letsgobassfishin]

@RAYITO6138 looks like a stupid nigger mobile

[midniteOG]

@letsgobassfishin why u mad tho?

[69pdro]

nice ride man! i wish my durango was like that.

[midniteOG]

thank you!!

[thagooseman8]

[midniteOG]

thanks!!! ive got alot done to it.. lets ee

engine: intake, exhaust, throttle body, intake manifold, superchips, cams. stereo, alarm, 15% tint, rims, painted interior, nav, suede headliner, headlights, gas cap, painted brakes, HID fog lights i dont even know the rest.

[bcprinceroe6]

[midniteOG]

[BoyOH5]

I was just waiting for that shit to blow up

[midniteOG]

lol no sir... thats not going to happen

[4big0ben4]

dats a badazz lukin durango!!

[midniteOG]

thanks!!!

[myheadsinthaclouds]

i got the 5.2l and mine pushes around 270hp at the wheels... so not bad

[midniteOG]

hey thanks!!! going to have an intake manifold and cams put in soon, so cant wait for the results!!!

[Need4Skis]

hmm, thats weird, my o5 has 345 hp, or thats what it says in the book anyways, maybe thats engine, and 235 is what makes it to the ground, im not very mechanical, hah. but anyways sick whip man

[midniteOG]

thanks man... you probably have the hemi in yours.. mines the 4.7L v8 small engine for the durangos of my year (98-03).. they also had the 5.2, and5.9.. you probably have the 5.7L hemi, which woud make about 290 to the ground?..

[Need4Skis]

yeah i know ive got the hemi, and i went out and checked, yur right 5.7 i hope she runs forever, i love my beast, it fuckin rips too, especially for an duv! my dad got challoenged on the highway by a guy in a shelby and we blew his dores off, he wasnt so happy but i was proud! haha its my parents, i wanna soup it up but since its not mine, its off limits, but i wont complain, still a sharp lookin rig with plenty of power for me!

[midniteOG]

ya man.. if you take care of her, she will last forever.. see if you cnat make it yours one day??

[Need4Skis]

also, what are those rims? love the black on black look with chrome highlights, my favorite style for vehicles! but my personal favorite is flatblack, but its too pricy for me, not like i can even touch our durango

[midniteOG]

lol thanks.... the rims are 22" zinik mazotti's.... really like them alot

[hahatrainwr3ck]

they're not hemi engines they are the v8 MAGNUM engines. i got the 5.9 in that shelby blue color. i love it.

[aaminjoshi91]

the new models 04 and up make a 5.7l hemi...but i like the shape and look of the old models better look more suv/jeep ish if you know what i mean the new ones look sort of like suv/vans to me...just my opinion but still like em lol

[hahatrainwr3ck]

hell yeh this body style is much better than the newer more husky one.

i always wished they would of made a srt-8 or srt-10 in the old body style haha that would be a beast. but then it'd probably be just like the jeep srt-8.

[hahatrainwr3ck]

ha yeh man. my pops bought the 5.9l brand new from the dealership and its a beast. not once have we ever had any major problems and its a 98. 11 yr old running just like it did brand new. gotta love mopar!

[aaminjoshi91]

yeah thats nice???? ours is having a few problems nothing serious hough i mean spark plugs fan belt and the air/heat switch only works when its on max other then that its in great condition and everything is running well...i love durangos they're fun to drive i wish we could raise the suspension and put beastly tires on it but my moms being mean about it haha

[midniteOG]

lol ya man.. save up some money and buy it from her! thats what i did!

[midniteOG]

lol ya man.. i got ya.. when you do get it. i expect to see some youtube vids! lol

[aaminjoshi91]

well hopefully i get a job soon and i will be able to start doing things to it lol....to be honest i'm to good with cars...i dont know shit about working on them lol i'm hoping to learn some from my dad he's decent at that stuff....but as soon as i get a job i will start modifying that baby and hopefully she'll look as good as yours haha oh and i have a question...i heard about something called "rim coating" its like paint for your rims is there such a thing as rim paint???

[midniteOG]

lol thanks man... hmm. havent heard of "rim coating".. but there is "powder coating", which you can do to rims. also, regular car paint would work too. all depends on how you prep it, to have it look good

[aaminjoshi91]

ok...thanks man i look into that...i like the stock rims but was hoping for black thats why i was asking....but in the long run i'll probably get new rims anyways lol

[aaminjoshi91]

@midniteOG Hey man I remember'd talkin to you a while back and finally remembered to look back for my comment, and like you asked for i got some vids up lol! I havent been able to do much since i really got into the exhaust as far as mufflers goes. i got a flowmaster now and had ran a straight pipe and glasspack. Also just got a cold air intake and soon hopefully a high flow cat!check my vids sometime!

[midniteOG]

yessir.. mines an 01, bought brand new. never had any major problems... even now with the mods.. its a great ruck

[FZR100095]

what size engine is that ?? 2wd or 4 wd?

[midniteOG]

2wd... 4.7L v8

[MrAndjey]

holy shit!

[thejorge92]

I agree. Hahaha.

Sweet ride man. Very sweet.

[buckslayer247]

How do you like your superchips tuner? Sweet truck

[midniteOG]

thanks!!! love the superchips..  i could really feel a difference, and i only have it on the 87 tune.. cant wait for the 93 tune!!

[clarda1]

do you have any mods on it? the 4.7l stock had 235hp at the engine original am i correct? im not sure how the dyno thing works..

[midniteOG]

yes sir.. K&N cold air intake, borla cat back exhaust, fastman throttle body, and superchips tuner. the dyno measures wheel horsepower.. the 4.7L, stock, has 235 engine horse, you loose about 20% at the wheels.. so im at around 280 at the engine

[johnny2doe]

yo spence!!! damn dog yo trucks beast man!!!

[midniteOG]

yo dude!!!!!! major preesh my man!

[midniteOG]

it was 30$ for 3 pulls. the dyno is owned by the shiop, and there was about 20 cars. so it came to be pretty cheap.

[ls6guy]

how much dose it cost to use the dyno
