Problem overview

Some Dodge Durango owners report experiencing a clunking noise from the undercarriage, which may be attributed to worn hydraulic lifters or timing chain components. Additionally, concerns such as engine whining and intermittent stalling have been noted, with engine whining often linked to low or dirty engine oil, while intermittent stalling could stem from a clogged exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) tube or other engine-related issues. To mitigate these problems, owners are advised to check and change the engine oil if necessary, inspect the front end for worn components if the clunking noise persists, and clean the EGR tube to prevent stalling. A thorough inspection of engine components is also recommended to identify any underlying issues causing the intermittent stalling.
