200K miles on a Durango? In Mexico no less? You don't need any parts, you need a new tow vehicle IMO.
Don't get me wrong, we have spent many days, months in Mexico way back when and loved it. Now days it's a chance of a visit at best. Remember they don't allow protection devices like a 45 into the country. Good luck and safe travels.
The Durango was a dealer import here in Mexico and had two years of dealer maintenance. We bought it in 2007. It's been a great SUV and has served us well. We have no complaints with that.
I been here 30 years and we have rved the last 15 and almost exclusively boondocking in Mexico. On this trip I traveled by myself. Never an issue in terms of security, robbery, stolen items off the rig, and we have traveled half of the Mexican states including Jalisco, Michoacan and Guerrero.
For work I have been on the road on my own to all the Mexican states except for Colima and Chiapas. I work mostly the border cities and northern states. It's a great life and a wonderful job and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Thanks again to everyone regarding my OP. I guess good checkups, maintenance and as someone said luck will keep my Durango going for a couple of more years.
BTW, as a Mexican resident, by law, I can have a weapon at home for self-protection.
