I have had all the same problems as the rest. oil and gas gauges going crazy and now the loud knocking . It is still running but it seems it is trashed at this point because there is no other remedy's other than engine replacement at this time. The car is not worth the money to repair it. You are correct , this is B.S. .

problem #1

I need help and advice. I live in Virginia - here goes: Car went from running fine, no problems (that I knew of) to having a loud engine knock. I changed the oil and noticed what appeared to be engine shavings in the oil. Had it checked by two different mechanics who have basically said I need an engine replacement!! From what I've read, this is a common problem with the 2000 Dodge Durango. If I do replace the engine, am I going to have the exact same problem with a different engine? What advice can someone give me. I currently have to borrow a car because the car is sitting DEAD in the driveway. I've been told that if I drive it with the knocking noise that the engine will blow. I still owe 1800.00 on the car and don't want to pour in more money just to go through this again. I also used engine flush which made the noise lessen but not go away. HELP!!!
