good luck ,cars are getting so confusing now, wont even try to change the plugs on these journeys .....

thanks for the response and hope everything turns out good and many miles of happy driving to you and your family.....

well as i said in my post ,that part should be covered for 2yrs and unlimited mileage in the U.S. , Canada might be different but you might want to check on if it was a covered part from the first repair. glad i had the extended warranty as it covers rentals also for any covered breakdown and since i was on a trip about 250 miles from home that rental was very helpful. P.S. i wouldn't use that dealership no way no how, of course hindsight it is easy to say that. glad you got it fixed and hope you have many happy miles down the road....

well i just google it and found the location on 2.4 engine and if your local dodge dealer doesn't know where it is then you need to go to a different dealership they should be able to help you ,check with the parts guy at the dealer they usually have books with diagrams to help you ....good luck
-
so how did you decided it was the second pump, did the dealer diagnose the problem. sounds like you are doing your own install good luck and keep us informed on the repair for future posters on this problem.......

2012 Journey Crew 3.6L - battery problems
2late4u replied to slskene's topic in Electrical, Battery & Charging
Re: MotoMaster Eliminator Battery at Crappy Tire Originally Posted by Carson Maybe crappy tire is better, but I have heard places charging hidden fees if you try to claim for the replacement. For example they can charge for installation ("warranty only applies if installed professionally", or alternator test ("we have to make sure your alternator is working well before you can get the replacement, or you will be coming back"), those fees ranges from $20-$40. Make sure you ask about that. TRUE 100%. CrappyTire. Experienced it myself today. I bought http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en last year as my old battery died. This Canadian Tire product lasted me 1.5 only year and died today. Battery came with the Extended Warranty (2 years) and 24-h roadside assistance, brochure had the number which I called. - My battery died. Can you send tow truck and take me to Can Tire so that they can replace their product under warranty? -- Well, we can send the tow truck, but you'll have to pay for service. - Will you reimburse the cost of towing since I got stranded because of you product? -- Yes, we will reimburse the cost of towing, but only up to $25 and provided that repair shop officially concludes that battery is faulty. - What can you do then? -- We can send a booster truck to give your car a boost - Can the booster truck operator test the battery on the spot and confirm it's faulty? -- No - If I'm positive that battery needs to be replaced - can booster truck operator replace it on the spot and save me hassle of going to repair shop? -- No Quite a service, huh? So I called my friend, who lives nearby, he came with a booster battery - car started fine. Just to be sure we disconnected booster battery - car won't start. Connected it again - car starts OK. It seems that logic is very simple here - my CanTire battery is dead. Well, as it turned out later it's not so simple in from Canadian Tire perspective. I took the car to CanadianTire garage and asked them to replace it as it's under warranty. They told me to bring the battery to the store, they will test it and and if it's bad the'll give me new battery. Since I had no tools on me I asked them to take the battery out and install a replacement. $25 for the labor, was their response. My argument that it's their product that failed and cost associated with its replacement should be carried by CanadianTire itself, was bluntly rejected with the statement that "mechanics can't work for free". I had to say OK, otherwise battery wouldn't have been replaced today. "And do the AVR test" manager told mechanic. "What's AVR test?" i asked. "Testing the battery to ensure it's faulty indeed" said manager. So then mechanic clamped the tester to the battery, played with it for 5 mins and said that battery is good. "If it's good, why the car starts with booster battery and fails with mine?" I asked. He tried starting the car - no luck. Then he brought their booster battery - car started just fine. So he called for the manager. Manager pretty much repeated all his steps and then declared: Battery is good, alternator is good. WTF, do these guys even listen to what they are saying?? Then he probably realized that there is some contradiction between his words and the fact that car fails to start on my battery. "We'll test it on the computer" he said and then plugged the car to a bigger stationary tester. 10 mins later manager walks over and says "Your battery is dead, we'll replace it for you". Whew, finally some sense here, I thought. So they replaced the battery and asked me pay the bill. Thinking I'll be paying $25 for the labor (battery installation) I looked at the bill and it says $50! WTF!!! Turns out "labor" was just a word thrown around by the manager. The bill showed $19 for AVR Test (to test the battery) and $25 for installation (all before taxes). I tried to argue that I already knew that battery is dead, plus they couldn't even test properly - why the hell they even ran this test and charge me then? Manager said that they can't take customer's word for battery diagnosis plus his mechanics can't work for free they need to be paid. I didn't have time to continue those argument and had no choice but to pay $50 for battery replacement that was still under warranty in order to get my car back. By the way, the brochure for Extended Warranty had the following words: "We've got you covered! Get more than a new battery, get peace of mind too! If your Eliminator battery should happen to fail, Canadian Tire will replace it for free!" So there I got it - crappy battery that lasted only 1.5 years. And "Peace of mind". CanTire's way found this while checking out your new battery..... -
best 2 days of boat ownership.... the day you buy it and the day you sell it !!!! been there done that also about the same for inground pools.........

looks like a time to find a good electrical specialist mechanic is next... they would be listed in the yellow pages. So many things could be causing the electrical draw down....
-
so is it ther org battery in your 2011? take it to a local parts store auto zone ,advance auto, to name a few and have them check the battery to see if its good and no problems with it. and have them check your alt for charging and starter power draw. then give us some info on what you find...clean your cable connections real good..

Are motor mounts part of the powertrain warrenty?
2late4u replied to vertex's topic in Engine & Transmission
he should have told you immediately if it was a covered part or not as all he has to do is pull it up on his computer ,unless you didnt ask them.... and it wouldn't be covered under the standard powertrain warranty but would be under the extended warranty coverage. but when i've replaced motor mounts before i've never heard sounds like you were describing maybe a clunk or knock but not grinding noise unless maybe they were real, bad dont know good luck . also would have been a lot cheaper even using oem mopar parts done at a regular mech. shop..... -
now if you want oem from the dealership the joints are real expensive here in the us about 400. each got her s for about 96. each but not as good quality but alot cheaper...i kept her old ones thought i might find some one to rebuild them but them days are over for someone local to do it.......
-
that would be one reason i wouldn't but parts from anything over the internet.i had bought cv joints from my local parts dealer (yes they did cost more than the internet )for my daughters caravan and replaced both sides. well 6 months down the road one went bad probably her fault as she is real hard on her caravan as she uses it for her postal route any ways had it towed home took out what was left of the joint took it down to the local advance auto store they replaced it no problems and had the car going in a couple of hours and so far no more problems from that .now the rack and pinion steering is leaking told her that goes to her other mechanic not me......
