A/C & HEATER SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2004 Dodge Durango AUTOMOBILES
General Service Domestic Vehicles -> 2003-04 -> System Inspection -> Compressor -> Condenser -> Evaporator -> Receiver-Drier/Accumulator -> Refrigerant Line Restrictions -> Thermostatic Expansion Valve
Vehicle: 2004 Dodge Durango 5.7 V8 GAS
While a detailed diagnostic procedure for all air conditioning systems would be impractical due to the many variations in construction and operation, there are three fundamental components of a total diagnosis:
- Refrigerant systems must have an adequate, but not excessive charge.
- Determination must be made whether the refrigerant system is governed by a cycling clutch compressor or by valves which control evaporator pressure.
- The air distribution system (blower motor, switches, vacuum lines and air ducts) must be operational before checking the ...

BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2004 Dodge Durango AUTOMOBILES
Anti-Lock Brakes -> Durango -> Description
Vehicle: 2004 Dodge Durango 4.7 V8 GAS
When wheel slip is detected during a brake application, the ABS enters anti-lock mode. During anti-lock braking, hydraulic pressure in the individual wheel circuits is controlled to prevent any wheel from slipping. A separate hydraulic line and specific solenoid valves are provided for each wheel. The ABS can decrease, hold, or increase hydraulic pressure to each wheel brake. The ABS cannot, however, increase hydraulic pressure above the amount which is transmitted by the master cylinder during braking.
During anti-lock braking, a series of rapid pulsations is felt in the brake pedal...

FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES FOR 2004 Dodge Durango AUTOMOBILES
DaimlerChrysler Corp./Jeep Light Trucks, SUVs & Vans -> Fuel Filter Replacement -> 2004-06 Durango
Vehicle: 2004 Dodge Durango 3.7 V6 GAS
Do not smoke or allow an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel system related components. The highly flammable vapor mixtures may ignite, resulting in serious personal injury.
Prior to disconnecting fuel lines, the fuel system pressure must be relieved to prevent accidental spray of fuel.
After the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal driveability symptoms may occur. The vehicle may need to be driven while the vehicle relearns its adaptive strategy.
Two fuel filters are used. One is located at the bottom of the fuel pump module. The other i...
