Windancer

Thanks Lobitz68, I often wondered how "they" came up with those ratings, do you have any more info on this subject? Terry

As I stated in another thread, while not a Plastidip fan yet but I have seen some incredible work done using it, both here and in the Sky /Solstice forums I also belong to. I truly believe you are only limited by your imagination and creativity when using this stuff. Terry

I'm even worse.......LOL. I have the backseat DVD, I'm single and have no kids, so the only thing that may watch the DVD is my dog. Maybe I should put "Marley and Me" on for him seeing as he looks just like Marley. Terry

IMO I think the ratings given are bs crap and never reflect "real world driving." I am sure they do the ratings at sea level , no humidity, no wind, well maybe behind the vehicle and eggs under the accellerator. Personally I would find out an average for you and your type of driving and go with that. I have said it many times before, I am at 16L/100 kms. and I think that is a bit high but it seems to be my average. Terry

Literally or Figuratively? Terry

I am just a weeeeeee bit curious why would you want another set of stock rims. Terry

Have DodgeCACares or DodgeCares make you a build sheet using your VIN #. I have a feeling your dealer may have taken advantage of you. I know my 2010 R/T has bluetooth but there was no option as to the size of the screen, unfortunately. Terry

I agree they do look nice, but as was mentioned it is way toooooo much to spend. Personally while not a huge fan of Plastidip, I have seen some incredible examples of what it can do both here and on the Sky/Solstice forums I belong to. I hate to say it, but I am of an age where chrome wheels were king, everybody wanted Cragar SS's or ET diamond spoke wheels on their cars. Terry

DITTO..... Terry

I don't have the squeal but this year I burst my power steering lines twice in the extremely cold winter we had. When talking to the Service Department at my dealer they said it was not uncommon to see this happening in extremely cold weather. Terry

Personally I am very happy with the replacements, The diference in sizes is so miniscle that the speedo is not really affected. The ride seems slightly better but I am one of the few people that felt the Kumho's were fine. Terry

I will just echo everyone else, welcome. Lots of great info and ideas here. Terry

Just a quick observation here, this is the case with my car and may not be indicitive of other cars. My EVIC on my dashboard shows no where near real world gas consumption. You might need to do it the old fashioned way, paper and pencil I have use fuelly.com from day one and my culmulitive total over 46,000 kilometers is shown below. Terry

For me I replaced my 225/55/19 Kumho's with 235/55/19 Michelin Latitude HP's last fall, they work very well and I am very pleased with them. Terry

I am 500 kms west of you, and I will agree the winter we just went through was very tough. As you can see by the Fuelly tag below I am also at 16L/100 kms. My mileage is from day 1 when I bought the vehicle back in August 2010, Mine does take into account the excess "warming" I have done through 4 winters and all the snow I have encountered, I feel mine is a "Real World" account over these nearly 4 years. Terry.

Congrats whitesxt as was previously mentioned that is great mileage.I have gotten 9.3L/100kms only twice in my AWD R/T. Terry

I don't want to hijack a thread but will throw out my car and what I have done to it, I too put some chrome on my 2010 Journey R/T. I have chrome mirror caps on each mirror, chrome gas door, chrome R/T emblems on each fender, chrome sill plates, chrome tubular running boards, "chrome" Buick portholes on each fender, "chrome" edging on the lower front valance, "chrome" edging on the front bug deflector, "chrome" edging on sunroof air deflector. terry

Sorry Joseph I never realized this was on 2 pages and I was too quick with my reply. Terry

I think a narrower tire might be better in snow but there isn't much difference between 225 and 235. terry

Thanks Webslave for your post. I must admit that I really haven't towed too much when it comes to different items. All I have really towed is my trailered 18' boat with an outboard motor and now my kayak trailer. I truly have no idea what the boat and trailer weighed but the kayak trailer weighs maybe 300 pounds and 2 kayaks probably 65 pounds each, plus a gear box at maybe 75-100 pounds so my car doesn't tow a very big load. Terry

Looks Great!! As I have said before when I bought it white was not even close to my first choice, but over the years I have owned it, white is a very good colour to have. Terry

Paul I will ask my dealer for my part numbers on my car. Just checked with my dealer on my work order back in August of 2010 the part used was 82210403AB and the vertical Receiver was 82208642AB. I really hope this helps. Terry

Paul Sorry I never got you message until now, I will take photos tonight when I get home. Terry

As was mentioned earlier both the 2009 and 2010 and early 2011 have a slightly different rear. Personally I have the OEM hitch on my 2010 R/T that looks like the one in your Photo. Personally I am very happy with it, Up to that time I had never seen a vertical receiver, but it seems to work well, granted I have only towed my 18' boat and my kayak trailer. I can take photos of it when I get home tonight if you wish. When the actual hitch is removed my car looks like it has no hitch at all, when it is installed personally IMO it looks much better than the newer ones. Just my opinion ....... obviously others will differ. Terry

I will echo everyone else Angela and give you a hearty welcome. terry
