well just got back from having my tires balanced the 2nd time in 4 days. my 2014 needed new tires a while ago so i got some off discount tire and took them to the walmart that i like it is about 24 miles from my house good mech there.Well have I about 7k on them so i thought since i have lifetime rotation and bal thur wal mart might as well have them done so instead of driving the 24 miles i went to the local walmart less than 2 miles from my house that i really dont like that much.I figured hey its only a balance and rotation how could they mess that up...LOL guess they showed me so I havent drove the journey much just in town driving so we have to go the doctors office in the bigger city and have a serious vibration at around 60-70 mph real bad so get back home and take a look and all the tires have weights on them in fact one has a shit load of them so i drive it the 23 miles to the walmart that i had them mounted the first time , and they come out and just shaking their heads about the balance job they said one wheel had so many wheel weights spread out around half of the tire and between all 4 tires theirs was at least 1lb of weights that didnt need to be there. Well it drove like a charm going home so i called the walmart that i just left and asked for the manager and told him what his mech. found and that the car was driving like a dream. he said thanks but sounded like well why did you call and tell me this so i said just wanted to let you know that your guys did a fantastic job and solved my problem that was caused by a different store so then he sounded better about my return call.... so be care full about who works on your car and when you have good ones dont thing well how bad could they mess it up........ Was thinking should i take my paperwork back up to the walmart close to my house that did the terrible job and ask to see the manger and tell him what the other walmart store found was wrong, so he could address the problems with his workers or just forget it. what would you all do?????

welcome to the group...

just a thought my daughter's van was dripping just a little it was a new rad put in because a fan blade broke and went thur the rad. any way. i had a new cap left over from my work days from the plant so i put it on her new rad and it stopped the leak from the cap. just a thought....

didnt even know we had a light in the glove box....LOL hope they get to the bottom of your problem.

have someone cycle your squirters for you while you are looking underneath your journey that will be the only way to see where it is coming from. the pics are useless...

well i was thinking of pulling my front wheels to check the pads but at only 41 k i am feeling a little lazy and will wait till about 60k to check them i guess

well just passed the 41 k mark... lol burning the roads up......

at what mileage did you do your transmission fluid and filter change i was asking my dealer and they want you to change it at about 50-60k and i asked him wasn't that for cars that were in heavy duty use or heavy towing and that the book says about 100k and he kind of hem hawed a bit and said well ya but we recommend it sooner than later...dealer wants about $150 to do the service..

might be rough on the feet if you are wearing flip flops and misjudge when getting into your journey....

show us how they mount with a pic do they screw down into the door threshold..

great to hear from you... welcome to the group..

your doing good on that one jkeaton, i put one in my 2011 at about 60 k then traded it in at 70 k for my 2014.

looking good welcome to the group.....

yea i remember them, only thing different is back then you were on your back looking up now days your standing and looking down when changing that oil filter....

should still be under factory warranty take it to the dealer if so.good luck

i used them on my daughters van and before installing them i compared them with the first strut i took off and evrything was an exact match.So take some measurements of bolt holes and length and some good pics of your strut and then go to the local parts store and check their parts or better yet talk to them and i am sure they would say buy them and if they dont match up or fit they would let you return them.... good luck and you can them alot cheaper on amazon then the local parts store, but returns would be alot worse

found a u tube video made by a Chrysler tech showing how to find and get the old oil sender unit out without removing the intake so it is possible you do need a special kind socket and be a little limber to reach it.of course the dealership and most mechanics go by the book on how much labor they charge even if they use the short cut. the part at advance auto is $46. and isnt carried in stock has to be ordered so you could expert the dealers price to be higher...

they supplied some plastic sleeves to change the color of the light i put the blue ones on but didnt like the white- blue hue it gave so took them off and it gives a more white light so going to not use the sleeves ,they also had some slightly yellow sleeves also.they went it very easy and seem better than the stock bulbs , wrapedd the old bolds up in some paper towel and put them in a plastic bag and stuck them in the floor bins in case they are needed later on...

well you might be right on an experienced mechanic could change it out faster than most people BUT when your 300 miles from home and no tools or even wanting to try and change it out. at least it is covered for my peace of mind for as long as i own it by using the dodge dealership . I was just putting some info out there for the other readers to hear as he said also that he has seen a few of these sender switches go bad. plus the switch at auto zone was about $30-40 so of course the dealers price would be more. and as for the lights maybe i did buy a cheap set as you say they are but they are on and looks like they are throwing more light then my org. ones.i didnt bother to check the cutoff as you are saying,but drove them down the road and no one was flashing me so i would assume there is no problem there... thanks for your input no matter on how negative you always seem to be.....I also was pointing out that this was a covered part on the extended unlimited yrs. and miles warranty..

well got about 3/4 way on our trip to the casino and the motor light comes on and no messages showing so i start checking evic readings and oil pressure is reading real high so since the light isn't flashing i keep going and get to the casino and check in and of course its Sunday so i get up early Monday morning and take it to the local dealership about 30 miles a way and they check it with the scanner and says yea its the pressure sending unit giving a erratic reading so they write it up and of course i have 40 k on the journey and its not covered under the power train warranty but it is covered under my max care extended warranty that i got on this journey so they set me up with a rental car that was free under the warranty and they called me later on that evening saying they got it fixed and also done my recall for the brake wiring. he said the oil unit is on the outside of the engine but you have to take the intake off to get to it.. well cost me $107. for my deductible and he said normal charge would be about $450 - 500 without warranty to fix it. so glad i got it. ALSO i ordered some led light and they came with some little plastic sleeves 2 marked for 10000 k brilliant blue and 2 marked 3000 k golden yellow and are made to go over the led if you want to ad color to your lights,so my questions is do you have to use them or do you install them without either to give a more whiter light???? no real instructions in the box them were the ones jeakon posted in a post Yita master led any help would be nice i sent a email to them but like a kid with a new toy wanting to put them in tonight.... oh also lost this trip in the poker room but not to bad....well went ahead and put them in with the blue sleeve on it will see how they look tonight......

104 k ,miles no power train warranty there unless they gave you a 30 day warranty or whatever is listed on for sales form. 5yr 100k on powertrain from dealership

looks good BUT i am not a fan of owners covering their brake lights with dark coverings true some light shows thur but NOT like it is supposed to. guess thats the old fuddy duddey in me. in my 40 yrs of driving seen to many custom cars on the road with little tiny turn lights or darkened brake lights and have almost hit some because not realizing they are braking. oh well as i said looks good and be safe......

i know you probable posted it but what kind of cam did you buy? and how easy was it to set up and use for tech challenged people

my 2014 the locks quit working for a day last yr while i was out in Laughlin NV went to the dealer the next moring and before i got there they started working so i leave and stop and wash my car then the air would only work thur the floor vents so made an appt for several days later up in Vegas and just before i was to take it in everything started working again so i cancel the appt. and no more of thoes problems since then now at 40k

last time i was at my dealership i asked them when should i have the trans serviced as i was getting close to 40 k and he said well we recommend that you change it around 35-45k so i said well doesn't the book call for it at about 120 k unless you do a lot of towing or heavy duty service then at 60 k . he just looked at me and said yes thats what the book says but you asked me what we recommend and i told you. so i guess he told me in his mind to go **** my self, but thats how they make their money i guess...
