Need to check what engine oil pressure is, compare to spec. Timing chain has a combo spring/hydraulic oil pressure tensioner on it. If it’s not functioning right you can get a lot of extra noise. Could be weak tensioner, or low oil pressure issue. It doesn’t sound like a normal crank shaft knock from main bearings to me, but I’m no expert. The 2.4 is not exactly a quiet engine even at normal times. Was it an LKQ motor?

Did you bother with new pressure or return lines? There was a recall for the pressure line rotting out, salt on Ontario roads is pretty bad. I’ve been spraying my lines with Rustcheck spray each fall to help out. Which mount was it, front or rear roll stop or side mount?

Was the rack pissing fluid from a seal or starting to seize up ? Big job using jack stands instead of a hoist.

Do you have the proximity locks unlocking when it sees your remote.? If that works the lock button to left of hatch handle can be cycled to open hatch door. Is panic button working? Via uconnect using vin number the remote start can probably be enabled. Need the right equip and knowledge. Alpha obd I think can do it as well if you have a functioning factory remote. If your vehicle was already enabled for remote starting, new fob probably would have automatically worked.

Your old factory fob has a hidden mechanical key for unlocking drivers door. Just release locking tab. Make sure to save it, maybe put in a magnetic hidden key box. If battery completely flat, remote will not unlock electric car door locks. Key will be needed. Good idea to use it once a year to make sure tumblers don’t seize up over time. Guy that hooked up,/programmed key fob could probably have enabled remote start on the replacement fobs. Pretty sure all the relays and wiring are there from factory build. Dealer won’t want to play with aftermarket fob part.

Most replacement calipers are remanufactured parts. Quality can very quite a bit as you are finding out. If you spend more money you can get a brand new not reman unit. I had to add stronger springs on my reman rear calipers installed last year; wouldn’t return properly.

Best Borat voice, niiice, very niiice.

How many miles on engine.? Fuel, spark, compression, timing. Oh yeah, good non contaminated fuel, bright blue spark, compression over 100ish psi, timing within 8 ish degrees of tdc, top dead center. Wag, (wild ass guess) crank position sensor. Doesn’t always set a code when it acts up.

Yeah search is very crappy. If you read post, pull glove box bulb first. It could be switch keeping light from turning off. That fuse controls gb bulb.

2011 was the first version of Journey before current model that is now discontinued. Even dash itself is different in the 2009-2011, wrecker suggestion may have been useful.

Your alternator seems fine, dropping to 13 when battery charged imo normal. Also cars have a go to sleep type delay of around 2-3 minutes after shut down before the voltage drops to its normal overnight draw. Digital clock radio memory etc should only draw around 40-80 milliamps. Key off, drivers door closed. Bluetooth module malfunctioning is the most common thing to cause parasitic draw. Not sure which fuse that is. Milliamps is more accurate measurement for draw, not voltage.

Battery voltage is good, batteries like new. New fob wouldn’t likely help if it’s an antenna or RF transmission problem. My fobs don’t work as well in extreme cold that well either. Find myself manually triggering locks using the outside button on door sometimes. Auto locks slow to activate. Summer is completely normal operation.

Someone is cashing in. Activity must be up. Will need to experiment with ad blockers.

Multi meter set to continuity or beep setting. Cycle hood switch to see if it sometimes loses continuity. Or make up a jumper or pigtail and bypass switch completely for a few days.

Welcome to forum. Which brand are working without flickering and no extra resistors?

Same engine topic on Ram forum. It was a new aluminum housing that leaked, but it wasn’t a Dorman unit. It odd that it seems 90% of leaks are from 2014, the year the new cooler design came out. Buried on the Ram forum is a comment a dealer service department made that one of the oem suppliers was bad; root cause basically. Cant really be confirmed of course. https://www.ramforumz.com/threads/2014-pentastar-3-6-oil-leak.187951/page-4#post-2305118

How old is the battery that is showing the low voltage ? Batteries can get weak in as little as 3 years. Battery lead acid chemistry causes voltage to drop a lot from room temperature, but yours seems excessive. You could get battery load tested at one of the auto parts places. Cold cranking amps could be weak just from age. Cleaning up the grounds, especially around strut towers where it gets rusty is always a good idea.

Welcome to forum. Yes it could be a cylinder issue, compression if too low can cause misfire. A bad injector, not very common thing, could also cause misfire issue. Intake manifold seals if leaking air can also cause misfire codes. CPS crank position sensor which is a wear item at high milage, can cause misfire codes; although stalling engine is more common symptom. Lots of potential causes for misfire, unfortunately.

Welcome to the forum. Does passenger side window work from its own door switch ? If it does, gently manipulate the rubber boot on drivers door beside the hinges. If they start working, it will confirm wires need repair.

Which is good news, that’s a decent number. Might be two different problems or just one thing, hard to tell. You seem to have all cylinder 6 misfire causes covered except intake manifold seals, or maybe CPS sensor. They are a wear item and can sometimes cause misfire codes. Here is a list for p219b. You have a lot of that covered too. Still a few things. |P219B code possible causes Leaking or contaminated fuel injectors Low fuel pressure or running out of fuel Leaking evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve Exhaust or intake air system leaks Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is leaking or the valve is stuck open Ignition system Incorrectly seated engine oil dipstick, tube or oil fill cap

iPad not playing the clip. Continuous droning is either power steering pump or automatically transmission hydraulic pump. Check steering reservoir and make sure it full to the proper level. If transmission oil recently changed, bring it back and have them check level (no dipstick on 3.6 tranny). How many miles on car; replacing fluid might drop the sound level, filter could be affecting flow. It’s older design 6 speed, so you won’t have Lexus sound levels.?

If too crazy to track down cause. Could add a toggle switch to horn power feed. Enable horn when it’s really needed. Just a thought.

I see what you mean, shows as number 3 part with no info. Odd. Auto wrecker or solder and heat shrink repair the old old pigtail.

I find the fobs sensitive to battery voltage. As soon as the battery is just below 3.0 volts the remote will get flaky. Some dollar store batteries are old stock and might only be 3.1 out of the packaging. Leaves short service life. Cleaning contacts with an eraser helps connections.
