Description of the problem	Oil pressure dropping.... Dealer told us that they thought it was the gauge... Not to worry. The engine seized up that evening.... We were slightly over the mileage on the warranty so was told that it would not be covered..... We had the engine rebuilt and the lines cleaned out (oil was sludge.... Lots of metal shavings) and when the pressure started dropping (about 10000 miles) again we immediately took it in for service....... Again there was lots of sludge and metal shavings...... We had the oil pump replaced and the durango functioned for a short time and is now in the shop again with the same problem....... The mechanic feels like it has spun a main bearing and that is the cause for the metal shavings that keep occurring...... There is something seriously wrong with the engines in this particular model vehicle.... *jb
