Hit-By-Thunder

Also Duradan, look into undercoating guys here say it is worth it. I talked to my dealer on it and he said when we meet with the finance rep, that is when we go over everything. Mine will be undercoated and the salesmanager said it also will be covered under warranty if there are any issues arise. Also the extended warranty. We will put as much warranty on it as possible,....worryfree ownership that I will be sure to get in writing. I plan on keeping it for a very long time Rob

yup, I hear ya on that ordered ours March 14th

you are correct. the REU is the sat radio with Navigation. I am thinking he has the RES . The radio model is on the bottom right corner of the radio right out on the faceplate. It is the single disc radio right? The REN Multimedia system contains a radio, CD/DVD player, USB port, a 30-gigabyte hard drive (HDD), and a “JukeBox” (virtual CD changer). Sirius Satellite Radio is optional. The 6.5 in (16.5 cm) touch screen allows for easy menu selection. The REU Multimedia system contains a radio, Sirius Satellite Radio player, navigation system, six disc CD/ DVD player, USB port, 30-gigabyte hard drive (HDD), and the UConnectt Hands-Free Bluetootht cellular system. A 7 in (17.8 cm) remote screen allows easy menu selection, while the Advanced Voice Dialog System recognizes more than 1,000 words for audio, navigation, entertainment, and hands-free mobile phone use.

I agree, my 93 Grand Caravan has it too and it is great to know it is getting low rather than driving along and running out when you need it most. My work Van (2007 GMC Savanna 2500) does not have this an it erks me. I check it just about every second day cause I am paranoid about running it empty Rob

well mine must be coming soon too, yours is unit # 194139 and mine is 208XXX. Did you get the nav radio (entertainment group 2) ? congratulations on the new Journey rub it into everyone here about how much you love it. I know I will be when ours gets here Rob

ya I never knew they were there til I saw a picture showing the back of the steering wheel. I wonder how hard they are to use or is it just better to use the radio controls ya climate we live in We got about 7" of snow so far. Rattles my cage cause last weekend we hit 24C and this weekend is like -18C . I am a lover of spring (my favorite time of year) but seeing all this snow coming back,....AAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHH. Looks like the dead of winter out there again and I thought the ground was way to warm to hold the snow. Even the lakes here, the ice was pretty much melted off. Rob

can you guys and Girls keep an eye out for a set of fiberglas running boards or even stepbars. I keep surfing to find something but nothing yet. I would hate to put the mudflaps on, then yank them to put the boards on. I want to protect the body as much as I can. Thanks everyone Rob

see if these work and now you know why we ordered the light sandstone

Hey Rick, no plans for the Journey other than getting some running boards/stepbars or YUK,...mudflaps. I hate the Ventshades as well and just like you say, takes the lines away. I am sure as there are more Journey owners, aftermarket parts will slowly be available. One thing I would like to see is some Projector headlights or HID headlights. I've got to get my photoshop up and running on my new computer and play with some dodge stripping. Nothing outragous at all but very subtle Rob Oh I will try and load some pictures today of my F150

I did see the service schedule and I don't know about 10,000k between oil changes. I do mine at 5000 or 4 months. I will be mentioning this to the dealer when we ask for the best extended warraty they have. fully covered top to bottom side to side & front to back. I read through the owners manual yesterday all 523 pages and I always wondered what those little switches on the back of the steering wheel were for Rob

hey Jay, just went back through your posts and you wrote this now with the safe backing, I am guessing that you have the safe and sound group. If so you do not have Sat. I don't know if the radio can still be retroed to be sat. Check with the Website and see about adding sat to the Journey aftermarket Rob

if you ordered the entertainment group#2 on the SXT AWD it comes with 1 year of Sat radio. I think you have to order the Journey with the Navigation in order to get sat. (I think). If you ordered the safe and sound group it was not available what radio did you get? Dealer wanted 250 for a sat. subscription for 1 year. Look on the website and you can get lifetime for $550ish Rob

Hey Brad, go to a different dealer and ask if they can bring you in a Journey that you want. Be VERY specific with the options and what you want. You may have to lay out some beans to show the dealer you are serious as a deposit. They most likely will say they can't get one and that you will have to factory order. Tell them that if you can't the exact car, you will deal with "the other dealer as they were very helpful with a previous car you were interested in. Kicker is, you have to factory order, which means waiting just like others here including me. One good thing, you get EXACTLY what you want. I know the 4 other dealers want to do a factory order as well, but may be worth a try anyhow I didn't do this intentionally but the 2nd dealer wanted my business cause we were serious and we wrote the Journey up for $200 over invioce. List was 37595 CDN (something like that) and got it for just over 31000 CDN. Loaded SXT AWD and the only option not on the Journey is the smoker's group (we do not smoke)

ya, I saw that and thought WTF did they drive it from Mexico and forgot something and had to go back I am really happy for you. Drive it and rub it in while others wait for theirs Oh and pictures please Rob

WOO WHOOOOOOOOOO YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Rick, that is cool ( can I say that still at 42 yrs old ) My F150 is my baby it has 254,000k on it. Here is the actual vehicle,... 2001 F150 XLT 7700 Series Supercab Shortbox 4X4 color is Arizona Beige, this is why we ordered the Journey in Light Sandstone, so the colors would match, sorta. I have done alot to the truck, Drop down DVD, thumpin Pioneer stereo, wheels, had custom decals made in the States "Harley off road edition" along with the harley flame decals. I get alot of people asking when did Ford produce an off road edition and I tell them I made it this way. Lightning LED 3rd brake light, TYC Rear taillights, Lightning headlights and Harley front corner lights, custom power sliding towing mirrors, steel cowl induction hood. I'll have to dig out the CD for a picture or 2 Hey Keith A MONTH TO SHIP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what are they using pony expres????? Icorumba I like the idea that the journey will take awile to get on the streets. Hopefully we are the only ones in our neighborhood with one for a while. Crap A MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! boy oh boy, Mr. Impatient as my wife calls me has no choice but to be patient, A MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ah well, at least Journeyowner1 says it is worth the wait

hey Jay, Again, congratulations, sounds like you really love this Dodge. and by others who have theirs already, I can't wait for ours to get here. oh yes pictures please Rob

hey Rick, PM me with your Vin and I will do the same to see where abouts we are at in the production line. Keith's is ahead of mine by about 30 units,..... I talked to the dealer today and mine has jumped from an "estimated" delivery date of April 23 to a "fixed" delivery date of April 23 woohoo getting closer to my driveway Rob

Congratulations on getting your Journey, let us know all the options you got and the and the and the, Yup, I'm excited for you too. So when did you order and when did you get the call from the dealership saying it was ready? I am happy for you Rob

I had tried to do that but It doesn't work for me, I even gave them my VIN # and VON # with no help. Maybe just works for US customers only, I don't know

Hey that is great news. Let us all know when you get it and load some pictures up too Rob

Sorry DogSportz, I have not seen anything yet. I will watch for you though. I spend about 2-3 hrs a night surfing for Journey info. Rob

thank you for the info and great link B) Rob

Hey Keith, the salesmanager said because it is a factory order our names will be on the Window sticker too. Like I mentioned, it's like a "gentlemans bet" to see who gets theirs first. <- me and you -> ....... if I get mine first Oh you can bet we will be posting loads of pictures when it comes in. I am a shutter bug kinda guy, you should see how many pictures I have of our 2001 F150 Rob

No Jack, they do not. It is mentioned in the list of colors with an (1) beside it and at the bottom of the color list it says late availability. I'll have to see if there are any other dodge products with this color. Just a thought, the Dodge Charger Super Bee comes in a light blue color, wonder what that color is, hgmmmmmmmmm Rob
