INTRODUCTION
C ongratulations! You have purchased the
finest street Supercharger available for
the 2000-2001 4.7L Dodge Durango.
The centerpiece of this kit is the highly effi-
cient and reliable Paxton Automotive Corp.
NOVI-1000 supercharger. A mechanically
driven (by belt) centrifugal blower (super-
charger).
This kit comes with all of the parts you’ll need
for a successful installation. The operations
required have been grouped in order of
sequence. Photos and drawings accompany the
text, allowing quick orientation and parts iden-
tification.
Installation requires a selection of tools which
are listed in a table at the end of this section.
We also suggest that you obtain a Dodge shop
manual and become familiar with the details of
your cars systems. Manuals may be obtained
from your local Dodge dealer or you can order
one from Helm publications at (800)
782-4356.
For best results follow the instructions closely
and in sequence. The average installation time
for this kit is 8-10 hours. Your actual installa-
tion time will depend on skill level and work-
ing conditions. The estimate does not include
time for initial vehicle inspection, cleaning,
fine tuning or troubleshooting. Before even
picking up a wrench, read this entire manual.
We are available for technical assistance at
(805) 604-1336, 7am-3:30pm pacific time.
After reading the manual, verify that all major
assembly groups are present in the main kit
box. You should have ample space to layout
the components. As you remove a box or bag
from the main kit, note the identification label
and compare it with the parts list. Please check
the box for small parts.
Paxton makes every effort to insure that all
parts are included in the box. However, if you
discover any missing or mislabeled parts,
please contact Paxton by phone for service.
*****WARNING*****
DO NOT attempt installation if any part(s) are missing
from this kit. Failure to contact Paxton prior to beginning
installation will result in a charge for any missing parts.
Before starting the installation, we suggest
your engine compartment be clean. You can
clean the engine and compartment with a pres-
sure washer (such as those used at self serve
car washes) and a safe-for-aluminum
cleaner/degreaser. Cover the distributor with a
plastic bag to prevent water from entering.
*****CAUTION*****
We do not recommend proceeding with the kit installa-
tion unless your vehicle is within normal operating
parameters.
You are undoubtedly enthusiastic about getting
started on your project, but take just a little
more time to insure that your safety is not
jeopardized. A moment’s lack of attention can
result in an accident, as can failure to observe
certain simple safety precautions. The possibil-
ity of an accident will always exist, and the
following points should not be considered a
comprehensive list of all dangers. Rather, they
are intended to make you aware of the risk and
to encourage a safety conscious approach to all
work you do on your vehicle.
We look forward to hearing from you, particularly if you
have any comments or suggestions regarding this manu-
al at (805) 604-1336
