My New(Used) 2008 Dodge Durango Limited

Already have new headlights. Will be replacing the passenger one tomorrow along with new Fog Lights. And installing new LED bulbs for both Headlights and Fog Lights.

Mirrors are Power, Heated and Memory. Drivers is Auto Dimming and they're both Manual Folding.

Ordered up a set of Aero windshield wiper blades for the Durango II. Same as what I put on the Durango I. Should be here early next week.

New passenger headlight installed along with new LED bulbs. Waiting until later to attack the fog lights. Too hot right now. Mid 90s!

Ordered up the OEM Rear Seat Audio/Video kit. Wireless Headphones & Remote. These items were missing which isn't a surprise for a used vehicle. A Whopping $74. Dealers want $140+

Need to wait until later when it's dark enough and show the sooper brite white LEDs!

Need to head over to the apartment maintenance garage and mark their door to aim the headlights to spec. Probably later this week.

Another interesting feature is all LED interior lighting. Surprising for 2008. Might also be due to the Limited Trim Level.

When they arrive - what are your plans to get them programmed and installed?

I might follow 'your route' on replacing my bad TPMS.

Yo Chris.......had the TPMS installed last Thursday by a shop. No programming needed. The Shrader Sensors I bought act just like OEM. Install them and drive around for a few minutes above 25 mph I think to get it detected and registered. Your Charger should be the same. $25 for a Shrader.

Yours should be a Shrader 20398 @ 433MHz. $24.79 at RA.

Kiss my Grits!

I should have gone that route in the first place. Down $70+.

Need to order that sensor and then pay to get it installed.

Should work without any BullShit programming needed. Get it installed and then drive around a few miles over 25 mph I believe and the car will pick it right up.

No updates today for Durango I or Durango II !

I did buy some rear side marker bulbs and CHS stop light bulbs due to the inspection from the work done last week on Durango II. They wanted like $80 parts/labor to replace 3 bulbs!!! I told them to shove it! Got bulbs from AAP for $13 with extras to spare.

Got a Bluetooth Receiver coming so I can stream From my phone(s). The MyGig RER allows Bluetooth uConnect for phone calls but not streaming. Tempted to upgrade to a MyGig RHR which has streaming but I've got the receiver for less than $15. RCA Mini-Jack for Aux Input right on the face of the RER.

A Low-Speed CANBus RHR would be around $250+ and need antenna/cable adapters.

Maybe in the near future after a few more business trips and expense reimbursement!

Might sell Durango I to a neighbor. He got T-Boned by an Illegal and is waiting on his Insurance Settlement this week. I'll give him a break on price vs selling to some Yahoo on CL. And he's a Marine like me!

New windshield installed today courtesy of State Farm and SafeLite. Had 4 big rock chips in it when I bought the vehicle. Decided to wait a few months before hitting up State Farm to get it replaced. $100 deductible vs $284 paying out of pocket.

Heading to the Dealer tomorrow to get the windshield replaced on Durango III as part of the Sales Contract when I bought it.
