  1. that is what i thought also ,,seems like i read that in the manual
  2. welcome to the group...
  3. yea if you do all stop and go city driving and maybe a little get up and go with them the mpg is kind of bad 16-17, but get into that 6 gear and do a little cruising and it really helps
  4. had a new windshield installed today as the last one had been fixed 2-3 times for small chips and when we got caught in the hail storm we had a lot of small pecks that didnt break the glass but kind of pitted it and you only saw them when going into the sun or after cleaning it, they would sparkle, getting ready to switch insurance company so thought id better get it fixed.....also i asked them what that little box was behind the rear view mirror was and they said it was a humidity sencer,so all these people with moist air in the cabin, this might be their problem. also while checking insurance companies some of them asked if i had taken a safe drivers course so i checked it out and aarpdriversafety.org offers a course with discounts if you belong to aarp and also found an extra discount using the code bhm ended up costing me $13. 50 and did it,and the wife did it also so we should save us on the avg of about $50. yr discount any one over 50 should check it out.......
  5. you should have bought a curt hitch like i did about $130 if i remember right bolted up no problem fit like a glove didnt have to remove fascia and metal bumper as you are going to have to do. about 2-3 inches between fascia and top of the hitch plenty of room. If i was you id go to amazon buy the curt hitch and then try to resell your other oem hitch on Craigs list for what ever you can get out of it... just my 2 cents worth. good luck on what ever you decide to do.......
  6. simple go back to the dealership and ask for info they should be able to help you,since its a factory hitch
  7. yes my 19 inch came on my journey and i have a spare the same size 225 55 19
  8. got an email from DISCOUNT TIRE on line and starting today and the next 4-5 days running a sale most tires use their credit card and get $60. off and most of the good tires also include a $75. rebate visa card so its a good time if you need tires also as always free shipping cant beat that.....just a thought.......
  9. go to the dealer if you still have any warranty left,if not try some electrical repair shops as it it could just be the switch or gears jammed
  10. welcome to the group,a lot of good info here, be aware we dont diesels in our journeys, we have a lot of members all around the world ,kind of interesting, hope you enjoy and share ideas and pictures of your journey and your country side......
  11. why while waiting on corporate to make up their minds, why not buy the new hoses and have them put them on or let them do it and then recoup your losses back after they make their decision one way or another you have to get it fixed and had you done that to begin with your girlfriend wouldn't have lost her job. i know you and or others will berate me for suggesting this but some times you have to cut your losses and get on with your life. ALSO you really do have to let the dealership check it out for a diagnostic as they cant really go on what the customer tells them no matter how long you have been a mechanic,,,,,, not trying to throw gas on a lit fire...... hope everything works out for you.
  12. to be honest if you have to ask you would be better off letting them do it. even if you do it you will have to have them enable it, plus their wouldn't be any warranty if you do it. my son had an aftermarket remote installed on his Honda and they had all kinds of trouble but they did finally get it working okay. also we have had other posters asking how to get their aftermarket stuff working with their journeys. but beat of luck on what ever you decide.....
  13. reconnect with the dodge dealership and have them explain it was bought in az but you are now living permanent in ak corp should make an exception on the coverage for the power steering hose since you are now in ak. hope you get some relieve
  14. I had a flat on one of the rear tires that's not repairable could I run one of the old tire on there........................................... what ever
  15. well go for it and report back what happens,well that is if you are changing ALL the tires but you are only changing one tire if i read your report right also one wheel will be turning at a different rate then your other tires. but hey let us know.
  16. should be okay as long as you dont have awd and just fwd
  17. i dont take chances with mopar batteries i just changed out my 2014 battery nothing wrong as far as i knew but my daughter needed one for her back up mail vehicle as hers went dead so swapped them out for her and a new one for me ,all set for a couple of years now i hope......if your journey is acting erratically change the battery out its at least 4-5 yrs old if its the org. one.
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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......
  21. 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.
