Fuel economy help - 9/9/2004 11:24:06 PM    trinitymatt   Posts: 3 Joined: 9/9/2004 Status: offline I sold my mom a 2001 Durango SLT with a 4.7 in it. I installed a Mopar Parts cold air kit, and put a Tornado in the tube. but I still need to gain a little more fuel economy. I realize that a Durango is not the best vehicle for fuel economy, but at least I got her out of the isuzu rodeo. Now I have to make up for it. _____________________________ Matt Sorry my spelling isn't very good. Post #: 1

I know MSD doesn't make any coils for it, does anyone know any company that does? _____________________________ Matt Sorry my spelling isn't very good. (in reply to rockadaous) Post #: 3
