- Mod up Dodge Durango RT 5.7L v8 Hemi or Upgrade Durango SRT 392 6.4L? Looking to upgrade your 5.7L v8 in your Durango? In this I speak with a Durango R/T owner about his quest for more HP & modifying his v8 Hemi or just buying an SRT. This Durango RT has some nice upgrades in place as is, but should he consider doing intake manifold, long tube headers & custom tune? If you're interested in more Durango, Charger, Challenger, SRT, RT or any other Mopar content make sure to subscribe.

Hope it works out for him! Will 100% keep tabs on his Durango R/T build
R/T Life when I get some more built out I’m going to email you to set up a meet with you 2 guys. He’s like me with my R/T Durango
After working at a dealership I see 92% of the time when people treat these vehicles right they go over 100,000 miles without even changing spark plugs Or anything else.
Warranty is only there because Dodge knows nothing will happen to it in the first hundred thousand miles unless you abuse it which is why they don’t allow non-Mopar mods because they know people who do those mods treat their vehicles way worse (on average)
Having said that I beat the daylights out of my charger and spin my tires at every rice cooker or hybrid, and go rock climbing in my Jeep Wrangler. Warranty shouldn’t matter never drive something u don’t want because of low miles.
Rt life where did you purchase your 6.4 intake manifold?
where did he get the front lip and side skirts?
Give me the money and I’ll get the SRT AHOLE
Its funny when i hear the 5,7 comes " choked from the factory" with 375 hp, I remember when I was a kid I had a 79 Trans Am from the late 70s those cars were definitely choked out with 185 horse with a 6.6 403 motor, its crazy, 375 hp used to be something to really brag about now that's a starting point
I have to say, you always find a way to make me realize how much I’m missing out on not owning a Mopar. Been watching you for 3 years now I believe your content is one of the best.
What u waiting for man having a molar is the best to me I don’t need a super car lol I’m in love with the Durango srt hellcat
Holy crap that truck is gorgeous! My wife told me to get black, so I got silver! In a nutshell, I got the wrong color! 🤣
hahahaa - they're really nice rides! But yah, this thing looks great
Satin black wrap ;)
Your wife really wanted a black one and then R/T responds with “yeah they’re great and are really nice rides” 🤣 Good thing you didn’t let your wife have the black one-she’d never stop riding it. She’d never go back to another color- it’s kind of like turning off the pedal commander and going back stock😆
Just got a 20 RT Durango, looking forward to seeing this build. Thanks for the video!
Congrats on the new Hemi! They're awesome rides - will have updates down the road to see how this is coming along.
As a fellow Durango R/T owner, I think he should continue the upgrades. Although part of me says just get the SRT; but he’d be starting from “scratch” (but a higher level lol)
yah I think no matter which you have - the mod bug will hit you. The difference is on the R/T's your bank account is deeper
R/T Life big facts there. I might finally install my demon eyes after watching this haha.
I would get the srt
If payments are low and you have a vision and love the thrill of the build etc. Id mod it. Having low payments on my RT charger gives me room to have a lot of fun with this car! Loving every minute of it. About to get a cam this summer😎
100% agree - I love having the flexibility of having an RT. Money in the back means fun with my Mopar hobby :)
Holley sniper manifold! Also the eibach springs. I def reccomend the entire kit spend the money on the shocks and roll bars. EXTREMELY worth it. My magnum handles like a dream now. Im so glad i didnt just get the lowering springs
yah much better ride quality if you get the whole lowering kit.
I got a 2018 RT and love my Durango. Did headers already and intake. Waiting on tuner to get back to me to get the tune done. Can't wait to get it done tho. That Durango sounds really good. It will sound even better with the long tube headers
it's fun waking up these 5.7L hemi's - doesn't take much to get them ripping!
Awesome video, I love my Durango RT and totally get his vision of modding it
yah they're really nice rides - going to keep tabs on his build. See how it goes
I like how he is saying that the r't will be his truck over the grand Cherokee srt
I agree from an r't drango owner here!
hahaha - this is his baby. They're nice rides
Your R/T has come a long way congrats
Thank you, I really appreciate it
Looks agressive, i like it.Be safe rt life.😎👍
yah I like the styling he has going on this Durango. I hope you stay safe/healthy out there as well
I have an 18rt that I’m pretty happy with the Hemifever tube. He should be happy with the difference. torque management is pretty aggressive on the factory tune so it’s much improved with a tune.
yah I think that is what he should do 1st - just unlock the PCM & load up a tune. I've heard Hemifever is a solid tuner.
One of the nicest rangos I’ve ever seen.
Brother knows his stuff with them Cams
2021 Dodge Durango RT Tow & Go Package took care of the Brakes and SRT suspension…💯🔥🚀
Just ordered myself one waiting to take delivery! Destroyer grey with red interior. My wife has the 21 R/T and after a month of driving it I had to place an order on a tow and go
@@xTheDomBombShowx Enjoy My Friend…💯🔥🚀
1st lol, I like the all blacked out look on the Durango RT, it's a nice ride and fun driving! Reminds me why I like Black!keep well my friend!👍✌
Nice! hahaa
@@RTLife lol thanks! Bro keep well!
I like his commitment to his Durango
I will def keep tabs on his build - should be interesting
I could not hear everything he said he was going to add for $4000 that would be the best bet to add power. I wish I could get a quick list of those things to do to my DDRT
Very nice Durango! I have a 19 R/T and hearing how much all these mods cost and not getting much power from it. It kind of scares me lol. But I still love it and love the content always bro. Good luck and stay safe out there.
yah def pricey doing an N/A build - much better price per HP to get a forced air setup. I will keep tabs on this Durango - see how it plays out. Thanks man
8:05 totally agree, I just picked up a new 2023 Dodge Durango R/T AWD, and that was the first thing I noticed that the stock brakes just don't seem to be strong enough because it's so heavy. I almost missed my turn twice in two weeks because I couldn't get the Durango slowed down enough. After owning my Durango three weeks, I've noticed it's just too heavy to be any real performance vehicle.
He gonna end up putting a hellcat everything in that truck thought about building up my 5.7 when I had it but I said forget that and just got a 392 big difference less money going to get a dodge durango hemi as we speak. Great suv hellcat red-eye next year until resdesign in 2024
Durango looks amazing! where did you get the racing stripes? also, what was the specific RAM Cam model did you say would fit the Durango RT?
Yay for RT guys!!! Durango family love my RT there plenty fast!
they're a lot of fun to drive - these Hemi's are great
R/T Life they are man! I feel my Durango is way undertuned it pulls great off the line very nice good low end torque it gets to 100 in no time I’ve had it 115 easy
Could you educate me on the Ram CAM install to boost power? What tuner do you recommend? I’m currently stuck training via Military while the coronavirus is going on! But I still watch your videos for my mods! I got cherry bombs installed and x pipe, with peddle commander. I’m waiting to get home to do air intake!
Wow nice r/t, trading mine for a 392 😝. There's a lot of wrong info here though. First the rams have more hp not only because of the cam but the intake manifold, it makes the biggest difference. The ram cam is not $800, its around $200 and probably won't work well with the manifold and gearing... and will make your durango sound like a pickup truck 🤮.
Also you can run the eibach springs the LL suspension, I do. Just the back is not as low as advertised because they pump themselves up. You do not need to change to srt struts you would switch to the non LL rear struts only. Not sure what he was talking about with 22" wheels.. I run them and so do a lot of ppl without issue. Oh and the back glass is super dark because its tint over factory tinted glass, not because its long.
Sounds tuff. I like it
yah it does sound great
If he only has 7 payments on the Maximum I would keep it if it's in good working condition. No point in having two gas guzzlers and use the Maximum to go back & forth from work. And when when his Durango is in the shop you will still have that third car to drive. Great video and sick looking cars!
yah that's what I decided to do with my Monte SS. Paid off & still in good shape.
Im on the same mission as this guy! Taking ny Restricted 5.7 in my Jeep and unleashing FIERCE POWER! CAT-back, K&N CAI and Brembo brakes! Pro charger or whipple, HP Tune, is coming soon.
Mostly everyone driving sport coupes sedans and SUVs their windows including the front are tinted dark?!? I guess the cops are tired of pulling everyone over breaking balls in Connecticut.
What type of headers and heads and intake are you planning on putting on I just bought one myself a 5.7 liter and RT Hemi Dodge Durango 2015 I interested what products you were planning on using I want to do the same mods
Its very nice the sound is awesome he should upgrades torque converter and up grade the rear ends
He's not a drag racer - I think he just wants so more power for HWY pulls etc.
Yeah I just got home, 1:30 a.m. I was out today tryin to best .93 G's left or right. Didn't happen, maybe a little warmer temps.
Nice! have some fun in that hemi brother
Gotta love these Durango R/T’s. The wife has one for her to use instead of a minivan.... nice having that sport car/muscle car feel in an SUV while getting great mpg and having AWD is best for winter. I’d just go for the supercharger if I were to mod it out.
yah the Durango R/T is a lot of fun. The hemi really does a great job. 6 or 7 lbs of boost & this thing will be in the 550+hp club
@@RTLife how much will the cost be roughly thinking of doing this to my 14rt Durango
The argument as old as the Hemi line-up. Either way I do t think he could go wrong but I’m partial to the Eagle 345. They wake up so easy with a few mods and the lower compression gives you more options
yah I think he will enjoy modding up this Hemi - should make some really nice power.
Nice Durango rt, what kind of tires and the size on that Durango,,and im in new york where did he go to get the pen stripes down the middle.
That's a bad ass Durango! Sounds awesome too! Did he do the Blastin Bob's resonator delete?
it's a resonator replacement - it really does sound good
Looks really nice👍😎
yah def a nice ride - he's doing a solid job
Love those mods on the durango. Airborne triple nickel 555
he has a nice ride for sure - he just got a Jeep SRT to join this
the from spoiler looks nice...
what did you/he end up doing since the vid?
Cool video, did mods on my '14 Chrysler 300C 5.7 hemi as well, picked up a noticeable performance increase with my '12 factory Challenger R/T exhaust(2.5" as opposed to 2.25")and a tweaked 91 octane canned tune with my Diablo i3 tuner to shut off the dreaded MDS and give it a kick in the ass. Runs great and gets same mileage running on all 8 cylinders, and gets a nice chirp on a 1-2 manual shift now.
Be cool to see if your buddy here gets into doing tweaks and mods with his Durango!
I will def get an update once he has some of these upgrade in place. Should be interesting to see what he thinks of the gains.
@@RTLife cool!
Durango R/T Plus is basically a Hellcat without the motor. Same brakes, same suspension, same exhaust, just no blower. It is all part of the "Tow n' Go" package. Worth the difference in price considering what the Brimbo upgrade alone will cost.
I did the R/T build and still felt it was slow. I sold it. Bought an SRT and added the Whipple on it. I'm at 760 at the wheels and I'm done. Scary fast and reliable
Which version of the SRT did you buy? 392 or Hellcat but do see that you added a Whipple on it. If the SRT 392 did you upgrade the pistons and rods?
What Supercharger did you install?
@SantosMorin Yes fully built motor and only 6 pounds of boost.. Could push to 10 or 12 reliably.
@@natesmith777 whipple
How do u get a ram cam is it safe does it fit in Durango!? Man amazing idea a lot of money tho may do a tune
He doesn't have to get SRT shocks. He just needs non load leveling shocks and Eibach springs. Billstien rear shocks ar $75 each.
Blasting bob any drone? What exactly a the exhaust mod? Thanks!
looking at a 2018 durango 392 , anything you think i should pay special attention too?
Any idea where he got the side skirts from? I need those for my RT!
I got the same truck, same color, same year and even the same tint's. Love this truck but always speeding. I got a Top Line Radar Detector and Waze always running. Knock on wood I've been save many time with it. Didn't know about the illegal tints on the back. It's a SUV though.
yah that's what I thought about the tinted windows as well. Either way, these Durangos are really nice
@@RTLife I love it because it's a all year long vehicle to have. You can have fun in any weather. Love your videos big bro 💪💯 #MoparFamily
Doing it for the the R/T community!!!!!
I'm looking forward to getting an upgdate on this
I’m late to the party, but where do ya get the work done. I’m in NYC and need to overhaul my 2014 Durango.
I shouted you out in my last video an i shown my hellcat An i hope to do a video with you soon
We can def do a collaboration at some point. Would be cool showing off that Hellcat
Looking at this to get some ideas because the SRT and Hellcat only has 6 seats and i need 7 seats... don't understand why they couldn't add those into those models... I feel nerfed. the price of having a big family lol.
Wow that’s a nice Durango!!!
yah this thing looks great - I like what he's doing
Your Durango is nice too !
64 bit thanks! 🙏
Did u have any issues fiting the SRT wheels on stock suspension?
I learned a lot from ur video thank you butting out great video. I had one question. I love ur hood on your ride. Do you think that a company makes killer 🐝 hood for a Durango RT??
They don't make the Killer bee for the Durango but they do have some solid options
www.bmcextremecustoms.net/durangohoods.html
@@RTLife thank you, I will always hit the like 👍 you give great insight and videos
Do the tinted headlights affect the brightness of them noticeably at night?
I’m the first like keep the videos coming
Nice! Thank you - I appreciate it
Hey where did you get your carbon fiber stripes from? Thanks
Great vid 💪🏽
Mr rt life , I have a question not related to this vid , Im actually about to get longtube headers with catledd mids and I have two options because of the cost :
Which is better JBA or BBK ? Regarding fitment and gains ?
I'm sorry I don't have any experience with either - that being said the gains should be very similar. Quality I believe are on similar levels (welds, fitment, etc)
Both will do the same exact thing as far as flow however BBK will sound the best out the two. Now Kooks or Pypes ( cheaper copycat of Kooks) would be the very best in overall quality and sound as good if not better than BBK brand. What can you afford is the question.
I can say on the Rams the JBA’s fo not fit as well, but you will make great gains on both.
Just wanna ask how you fix a service awd on durango rt. Pls let me know thanks
should i start with a 5.7 charger or 5.7 durango im planning on building the engine up?
I would like to know Where he bought the front lip spoiler 😩😩😩😩 can so one tell me please is an emergency, I need to know where this guy bought his truck body kit PLEASE
What a beauty.
Agreed. this is a really nice looking ride
What size of tires & wheels hes got set up? Those are definitely bigger
I'm looking to put good performance parts In my 06 5.7 rt I'm just wondering what is the most reliable website to buy these mods off of? Headers, camshaft, exhaust ext?
Check out this website shophemi.com
That's sick! Where did he get the front lower fender so I can get it for my Durango? I live in Arizona.
I will ask - def makes the front look more aggressive.
@@RTLife I will follow you doing videos on his built
@@RTLife Yes I’m also looking for that chin spoiler and what those side skirts are if you could find out that would be great
What did you get the side skirts and from lips from
Where did you get that side skirt? Anodized red?
Did you tint the front light or you buy it tints
Hope you guys in New York stay safe
Thank you - def getting crazy here in NY.
Tell me more about this doctor's note🤔 i need that🤣
Who those ur tuning for mopar i have a 2020 durango srt...
What brand was the front spoiler hard to hear him.
What’s the name of that chin spoiler and side skirts?
Did you tint the headlights or you buy it like that
Nice Durango. Needs to make the 5.7 breathe now
Agreed - I think he will enjoy modding up that Hemi
Ya know i love modding cars as much as u do but!! Ripp makes a supercharger thats proven reliability over years for 8k installed ur gains are unreal like 200 whp its insane and he warranties his product.. seems silly to put a cam and longtubes for what 50hp gonna cost him at least 4k with labor that cam job on these motors is a lot of money for the gains u get imo.. love ya brother
Ripp makes a setup for the 5.7L? I thought it was only for the v6
R/T Life yup check it out!! Its cool asf bro...
R/T Life 423 whp all wheel drive. Up from
270 baseline thats pretty good and the torque comes on low end to nicely..
It’s not a bad idea to replace MDS lifters.
What’s the difference between modding and upgrading
Where did u get the rally stripes from?
What note u get for your windshield??
Do you have this guys information to ask about his list of mods.
Where’d you get the side skirts?
Looks awesome and sounds really good but to get that thing moving it's gonna cost him $$$
yah - def going to cost some $$$
I’m hoping to make some tasteful mods to my 20 R/T and make about 420 at the crank. I think that’ll be the sweet spot for me
I have a 2020 Durango R/T that's blacked out as well
they look awesome blacked out
@@RTLife Yes they do... I constantly get complimented on it. And my interiors is a blood red. Which gets complimented on too 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
nice car
Agreed
Me hearing the 5.7 ram cam sounds Awsome probably as cheap as the 6.4 cam for a cheap cam mod also probably 5.7 ram heads flow better to also for torque maybe
He surprised me with that bit of info
@@RTLife and I also got a ticket 2 sundays ago 85 in a 55
The Eagle Heads are intake dominant.
It's a nice Durango but yeah I'd be upset too about those little things that you don't know about until you hear it like this from someone.
def always good to hear people that have had the ride for a while - def helps future buyers
a 2017 jeep SRT for 41k?... man those where the days...
you might able to find that now in 2022 but it will have 120k miles on it. he was prob talking one with 20k miles on it back then.
Have him hit me up. I've done a lot of what he want's to do. I'll gladly tell him what to expect, how much it will cost and the issues that arise!
Do you have instagram? I can send him a message
@@RTLife my IG is coachdebar
Just supercharge it with a few other things and 🔥
Sounds like your state is as bad as mine. Hope he can build some good power. Lol he's going to want to build a stroker in the long run. 😎
yah NY is struggling right now. I think he will get it to - heads, cam, long tubes, manfold, throttlebody.
Mn is just getting started with the virus thang. That is a good start but we always want more power.😁
Where to buy front bumper lip?
Where can I order that front splitter?
Live on Edge but be Safe Bro! 👊🏽
Will do & same to you - Thanks man
I don't know where he's getting his info from but every dealer that I have talked to has said that any modifications you do to the internals of the engine voids the warranty.
Some dealerships are a little more relaxed with upgrades. The one he is referring to has a tendency of looking the other way with lightly modded rides or ones that use mopar product upgrades.
@@RTLife I wish I could find one like that. 😁
were did your man find that front bumper for his dodge Durango
it's by "abaza carbon"
@@RTLife hey man that looks great I have a durango too where dis you the bumper lip I been looking around and I csnt find anything please help out
What’s the status of his build?
Also is it better to get the SRT right out the gate or build the RT w Tow n Go package?
Bingo, tow n go package is a must.
Front lip , Where can I buy one?
