well since i have put about 5k more decided to rotate my tires myself even thou i have lifetime rotation and balance at walmart just wanted to check my brake pads front and rear and they look great almost cant even see any wear on them and have 50650 miles on the speedo so the new upgraded brakes are doing a great job. tires looked great,real even wear on them dont have a tread depth gage but they look like the are giving good wear on them i put on cooper c5 tires at 36 k as the kumhos didnt hold up real great with these 19 inch wheels like my 17 inch kumhos did.....

sorry to hear, guess you could go for a replacement engine from a scrap yard like lkq of course it would be on your own dime, keep us advised on what happens..

every auto stores or walmart sells them, of course you still need air after you plug the tire, i went to my local gas station and asked if i should have them remove the plug and put in the kind that is a plug with a patch over the back of it and of course you have to remove the tire to do that and he said he wouldn't bother to do that since he heard what kind of plug i used. amazon sells a kit for about $ 35 -40 for the good model with the oversize plugs, they are about 7 inches long instead of the smaller 4 inch ones you buy from walmart or the local auto parts store....i am going to go buy me a small travle air compressor and a good plug kit just in case this happens again out on the road... it sure saved us a lot of time and extra work.

well just got back from our 40 day trip to vegas and back from alabama, 4540 miles round trip used 193.4 gal of gas, for a total of $384.99. avg price of gas was $1.99 gallon with the cheapest in oklahoma city for $1.75 a gallon. avg mpg 23.47 for the whole trip, worst mpg about 17 mpg in vegas due to lights and traffic and best about 30.2 on the way back for 2 tanks of non stop freeway driving with the elevation going down hill all the way.. journey loaded up with luggage and my wife's 3 wheel medical scooter so i was quite happy with the mpg we averaged on the trip. Wife got sick after about a week after we got there with strep throat so we had to find a dr and just about the time she started feeling better my sinuses started acting up so i was messed up for a week or so, but we managed to get thur it till the end. only one small problem after leaving Albuquerque in New Mexico the temp dropped that nite so the next moring the low air tire pressure start going off showing about 29lbs so i hunt up a gas station for air and fill them up to about 38 psi and off we go heading out on I-40 heading home and so i am keeping an eye on the tire pressure and they increase to about 40 psi after warming up so about after about 30 minutes way out in no mans land i check the pressure and the right front is showing about 33 psi so i starting wondering what was wrong and after about another mile down the road it drops to 32 then a little later 31 so about that time i see the next exit which was Clines Corner so i pull over and pull up to their air pump and i am showing 29 psi and low and behold a big old screw towards the outer edge of the tire. so not wanting to have to unload the rear to get the tools and lower the spare i go inside and ask if they have any tire plugs or boots and she says if we do they would be hind you on that self and of course their are none, so i head back out and their are about 20 cars and trucks with horse trailers so i start asking everyone if they had any tire plugs and after about 10 vehicles one of the cowboys pulling their horse trailers says sure do here it is.MAN i was so happy so i go over and put some more air in the tire and pull the screw and put in the plug and pump the tire back up to 38 psi and took the kit back to the cowboy and thanked him so much and offered to pay him and he wouldnt take nothing for letting me use the kit. Now i have a plug kit at home but it wasn't nothing like his kit his plugs were golden brown and sticky as hell and looked twice as large as the kits you buy around here. he said that plug wont come out on you. so we thanked him again and wished them well on their travels to their next rodeo, didnt have any more problems with the journey on the way home. boy that 3.6 with the 6 spd trans sure is a pleasure to drive thur the mountains at freeway speeds. sure wouldn't want to go back to the 3.3 engine with the 4 sp trans that i had in my caravans yrs ago. didnt lose that much gambling that we thought we would but didnt win that much either so we still spent less on our trip then we would have if we had went to florida or hawaii for just a week or two. of course our hotels were all comped so we just had to pay for our meals and gifts for the kids.well done two loads of dirty clothes and cleaned up the car so guess ill call it a night and hit the hay.....

welcome to the group

never thought to try to find one.

i get mine from the dealership

hope you reported it to your insurance then it would probably be covered due to the accident..

make sure they used the right oil filter there are 2 of them for the 3.6

so did you all not test drive it first? also most cars can be ordered with adjustable foot pedals not sure about the journey....good luck on what ever you do....

i wouldnt turn them as they would be to easy to warp again always go new...

i am using the 235 55 19 cooper c5 on my 2014 so far i really like them i got a great deal thur discount tires online if you order thur them its best to wait for a holiday they always run extra discounts then. i didnt get the warranty and just them down to walmart had them mounted and balance lifetime for 14 a tire.ordered thwm on a fri nite delivered on tue morning also checked the age of the tires and they had just been made less then a month of getting them.

you probably damage the tpms as they reset themselves or they go bad from age, are the rest of the tires reading okay and just the one not reading, or all of them not reading?

id least get it to a local dealer or good mechanic nearby for a quick thought of what they think is wrong with it.better hope its not the rack and pinion unit as that would be really expensive and difficult to replace more likely to be the power steering unit if want a guess.

well hate to see you leave but hey at least you bought ford, about 6 months ago i bought a but load of ford stock for a quick flip but since thin it has went down about $3. a share so i am stuck in it but at least it pays a great dividend so with that ill get even in 3 yrs. even if it doesn't go back up, but it will go back up they have a great line up in trucks and with them redoing the super duty trucks that will start paying off in the coming yr. but i digress, so anyways dont drop a load of concrete blocks into your truck bed like the chevrolet people do theirs, lol, if you know what i mean.....

i wouldn't ever buy a awd vehicle, i always by just fwd never had the need for awd just more problems and with a lot more expensive parts to repair....

looks great

and my point was exactly what i typed. i paid for a service they messed it up so i had them fix the mistake that way i am covered under the warranty. your response might have been okay if it would have required a separate return incurring a lengthy wait. also maybe every body is not as highly educated as you on what might have gone wrong while they were working on my journey you always seam to have a smart *** remark or comment on some peoples advice to some one trying to help out someone that has posted a problem in this forum ,maybe you are the one that has a problem i would suspect.

so what do you do for work up there in Alberta?

well since i had just left the dealership and they were the ones that mess it up why not turn around and go back and make them fix it, especially since it was still covered under warranty. would be kind of stupid for someone to go home and then try to fix it themselves, of course there are few people like that i guess.... thanks for your input tho

well that doesn't mean they knocked a wire loose for the buttons. Saying that ,on my 2014 i had the rear camera added and they had to get to the radio for the install they said David your car is ready so i jump in and get about 5 miles down the road and went to use the air conditioning and some of the buttons didnt work so back i go to the dealer and they take it right in and then said well its fixed now, some connections had came loose.... matter all fixed.... so take it back!!!!!

at least you are under the 36k part of it and also the yrs, i would verify your are under warranty and then take it to the dodge dealer and let them see if there is a problem . and also did the selling gm dealer give you any warranty like 30 -60 day. take it to the dodge dealership like you are going to do and also have them checkout what you are describing as it should be covered under their 3 yr 36k warranty and at least you should still have the 5yr 70k powertrain left, not sure what is all covered under that portion, plus take it back and get them new tires before they change their mind.....good luck

well if it happens at home you might want to jack up both rear tires and see which side is doing it buy turning them by hand at least you would be able to get more info for the dealership to act on....good luck .let us know what you find out....
