  1. my daughters caravan also had a bearing on her alternator go bad it made a loud whine that got louder the faster you went, i forget the name of that bearing i believe that has been posted here check out u tube for info
  2. never had to replace on my journey but did replace 1 on my daughters 2007 caravan pretty easy check out u tube for videos on it they will be your best bet on info
  3. hope you dont get rear ended because someone didnt see you brake lights till the last moment, i like me brake lights to be bright as possible, as i had someone rear end my granddaughters van thank god they were all right but as the girl said i didnt see them stopped at the light......
  4. whats the scoop on this oil change plugs, looks convenient but looks like draining your oil would take a lot longer. F106SX: NEW GENERATION FUMOTO® VALVE WITH 14MM-1.5 about 32.95 on amazon they do have a different one that is about $24.
  5. had mine done but stayed legal so the front windows are not quite as dark as the back......
  6. on one of the replacement blades i had that didnt wipe at the top ,i noticed all the blades are made of plastic so i tried heating it up with my heat gun so i could get the top 2 inches of it to bend a little but no luck all it did was break,if any of them were made out of metal you could proably bend it to wipe better but i try not to pay any attension to it. i always didnt like the way it only wipes 3/4 of a wipe, on the caravans their wipers wipes from one side to the other
  7. if it was fixed properly no problem,thing is when they do that it has no real resale value and because it was so expensive to fix that it why they totaled it so WAS it fixed properly? to be honest my son in law bought a salvage that had been fixed and whoever repaired it did take a lot of shortcuts on the repairs, it drove okay, but you wonder what toll it took on the frame. good luck.
  8. guess he means...... "OEM" redirects here. For other uses, see OEM (disambiguation). An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is a company that makes a part or subsystem that is used in another company's end product.[1] For example, if Acme Manufacturing Co. makes power cords that are used on IBM computers, Acme is an OEM. However, the term is used in several other ways, which causes ambiguity. It sometimes means the maker of a system that includes other companies' subsystems, an end-product producer, an automotive part that is manufactured by the same company that produced the original part used in the automobile's assembly, or a value-added reseller.[2][3][4]
  9. the nav units seam to be talked about here quite a lot,dont think it would be worth the effort or money to change it out. congrats on your purchase also on the extended warranty good choice on that. i have a 2014 and about 53k had a small problem while on a vacation had to take it in to a dodge dealership they provided me a free rental car and fixed my journey no problem with just my $100. ded, i have the max life and miles on my crossroad also.
  10. welcome to the group and happy trails to ya.
  11. are they providing you a loner or free rental since its in the shop?
  12. just worked on my 2014 and checked the front brakes and they still look great over half or three quarter left on the pads at 53k
  13. welcome to the group a lot of info some good some not so good, oh well lol, guess its a little cold up there right now,use to be from Michigan but been down here for about 40 yrs so guess my blood has thinned out some.
  14. well i replaced mine two different brands just doesn't wipe in the center top real good about 2 inch gets missed never had a problem with the old one guess ill try a mopar one when this one goes bad no big deal
  15. if they dont sell them over there you should be able to buy one off eBay i would imagine..
  16. have him bring it over to your house and hold it under your frame you should be able to see if the holes line up with your holes in your frame. also the correct hitch only cost about $120. on amazon, that is where i bought my curt hitch from ,fit like a charm P.S. there should also be 2 shims that i believe you will need on the rear bolts of the hitch one each side.
  17. i agree with steven as the diagram on that part is not connected to the filler tube only to a small tube along side it probally is for the evap system to catch fumes. your main filter is attached to your fuel pump and level unit in your tank
  18. well sounds like you got a good dealership and that they are trying. keep us informed
  19. i would have said the half shafts but at least they are working with you good luck and keep us informed...
  20. please report back when you get it done or when you find out what needs to be done so other 2016 owners can learn......
  21. if you scroll down on the link you supplied it says it is not for a 2016 and it also says there is NO camera supplied with this part
  22. not a bad price parts are about $280 last time i checked plus install also it will be covered under your mopar warranty in case any thing goes wrong
  23. well bought a Duracell gold 3 yr free replacement battery from batter plus bulbs cost me about $110 with discount ordering on line and will get $10 rebate thur the mail so about $100 total, they had a Duracell agm battery comes with a 4 yr free warranty but didnt have it in stock cost about $190. but is supposed to be a really great battery. well got home removed the wheel then removed all the plastic push pins undid the battery positive side it is easy to get to. not so easy to get to the negative has a different bolt that connects from the motor side at an angle from the top got it loose, then removed the battery tie down on the back side but the front side of the tie down stays hooked so its a bitch to push up and slide out the battery, then cleaned the tray up some and reinstalled everything and sprayed on some terminal protection and started the car up works great, so then go back to reinstall all the inner fender flaps and pins some were bad shape so lucky i had worked at Chrysler van plant so i found some new pins that worked, put the wheel back on everything works great had to readjust the clock, that was all there. most places i checked that would install their battery wanted at least $50. for the install ,almost worth it if the weather had been bad but i caught a pretty day about 50 degrees
