  1. White smoke would indicate burning coolant. I think you had better call the dealer about that one!
  2. The battery is right here!!!!! http://img201.imageshack.us/i/dscf4654o.jpg/ OUCH!
  3. I haven't locked keys/fob in a vehicle since 1993, when I got my first vehicle with a fob. I ONLY lock the doors with the fob, NEVER with the inside button. This habit has saved me a great deal of inconvenience!! Before that, I had actually become an expert at breaking in to my 82 Olds!!
  4. If you have nav built in ot a portable nav, just compare to that... They should be quite accurate.
  5. About 10 years ago, I ran over a big chunk of wood on the highway. My sidewall looked very similar. Looks VERY close to blowing out. My advice is to get a new tire... Quick...
  6. I think the Uconnect update would fix that. I don't know how to link to another post, so search "update shuffle" and find the post that I started. The link in that post will explain how to download and install an update that also fixes the browse function. Perry
  7. It is something that everyone is having... The transmission seems very slow to downshift. I hope that they fix it with a different transmission program in the future, but I doubt it. I think they programmed it this way to get better mileage. it can be overcome by manually downshifting slightly before a hill. I shift to 5th before a small incline or 4th as I'm coming to a larger hill on the highway. Perry
  8. I sure will. All of the dents on the doors and quarter panels shouldn't be much of a problem for them, but there are a couple of them on body lines that I am going to inspect VERY closely before I sign off on this job!! Perry
  9. Does anyone have any experience with having "paintless dent repair" done to their vehicle? I have a couple of dents from the hail storm that the insurance adjuster says can be fixed by PDR, but I dont beleive him...
  10. It's only STUFF!! We are still healthy, and will have a good story to tell in the future... Perry
  11. So... My family and I were camping for the last 11 days... We were on our way to my Fathers lake house last friday, when my wife commented on how nice our trip had been so far..... BING... Low Tire Pressure warning. CRAP... stopped at a gas station and filled air enough to make it to the Lake. We put a tire plug in and it seemed to hold pretty well. During a conversation we mentioned how BEAUTIFUL the weather had been during our camping trip.... BANG... Sunday night, a HUGE hail storm hit the lake.. My 2 month old Journey is dented on nearly every panel.. Some of the stones were the size of baseballs. Wind knocked down several large trees. Driving home today (monday) we make it half way on the plugged tire when I decide to explain to my kids that even though the damage was a stroke of bad luck, we are a very lucky family because we are all healthy and no one was hurt during the storm and BING.... Low pressure warning... The plug pushed out... flat tire.. changing to spare in an abandoned farmyard!!! I think I will stop counting my blessings now!!!!
  12. I was able to weld a few beads down 2 sides and grind them until it fit nice and tight... Shouldn't have to!!!
  13. Every thing that I have read states 3500 lbs with tow package. The weight on the pin isn't the big problem, as the tongue weight should only be 350 lbs. My biggest problem is that i can't wire in the brake controller which you NEED if the trailer is over 2000 lbs ( law in my province.) Can't get a signal wire from the brake pedal and am told that because everything is controlled by modules, I cannot do it!!??
