1999 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America
"I love my Durango; lots of power, not too big"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have recently had problems with my 1999 Durango 5.9 liter stalling for no reason. Will be driving along and it stalls. If I wait for about 5 minutes it starts back up. I noticed it started after I took off my high performance air cleaner and put back on the stock air box. I put back on the high performance air cleaner and it cleared up the problem.
As far as I can tell, the PCM computer is located on the fender tight against the stock air cleaner. If you allow some air to cool off the PCM the problem goes away. So you can pay a couple hundred bucks for a high performance air cleaner and get about 20 extra hp and solve your problem, or invest in a new PCM and deal with the problem again in the future.
