well, maybe you'll get lucky at the wrecker and find a set of heads?

Though, around here, I don't think I've ever seen one in the wrecker.....lots of Jeep limiteds though...wonder if there the same heads?

I have seen a few of these in Junkers in Ontario, Durango's are pretty tough, Usually read/here about the rear ends failing before the engine though..

Durangos are at least inexpensive.. Find a roll over, re/re the motor and you will be good to go

Sucks how a $0.50 part and an oversight does that. Viper V10 swap?

Is that the same shop that fixes the steering mechanisms for BC Ferries? a .50 cent part = millions in damages at Horsheshoe Bay.
