  1. what is the price of gas there with and without the taxes? how much cheaper is the diesel . gas here is about $1.60 a u.s. gallon and diesel about $1.90 per gallon
  2. be aware that the drl only work when activated AND the car is in gear they dont come on when in park,might want to check that .
  3. i wouldn't use the old fluid first since it seams to be for GM specs, BUT also i never use old or opened that has been opened for a long time. first its not that expensive and i've always been told that a opened bottle tends to collect moisture .Not for sure that's true but its what i've heard...agree with what jkeaton said on removing the cap and then compressing the piston i've never had any problems this way...
  4. i just put on a set of cooper 235 55 19 on my crossroad got them thur discount tire direct got a great price and so far i really like them. this size will offset your speedo by.9 of a mile so speedo saying 70 you are doing 71 mph. no problem with the suspension was afraid of going with the bigger size 255 50 19 but some on here say they are no problem. see my previous post for more detail...they are quiet riding and rated 60k for about $560. cant beat their price also i checked the date when they were made and the numbers say the 6 week of 2016.....sticking with the org. size you dont get much choices of tire makers...
  5. he asked if basic warranty would cover it and i just replied it would and stated the coverage.If they ask a silly question !!!

    congrats on your retirement,i was lucky enough to retire when i was 54 and was able to move back home to take care of my parents for the next 6 yrs before they passed. sometimes you get a little bored but hey thats when i make my casino runs....
  7. traded my 2011 at 70k small problem with the front rotors at about 11k dealer took care of it, and now have 36k on my2014 just put new tires on it, 3 of the tires still had some tread left and one tire was down to the wear bars but it was worn down evenly so it wasn't an alignment problem and i always kept them rotated regularly. I love my journey for the room and ride.....
  8. well your initial question is so vague and incomplete with hardly any info it cant be taken serious.sorry if you i offended you but next time explain what you want and what the problems are.
  9. had to turn the central air today,almost 80 today.....cant wait for it to cool off.... lol
  10. well i rec my tires this morning and loaded them up and off to walmart to have them mounted and balance so final cost $582. after all rebates come in not bad for this size tire 235-55-19 , speedo should be off about .9 mph according to a tire calculator, hooked up my garmin and was 1 mph faster then the speedo.. Was wondering if the evic mpg would be affected with the bigger tires, cant imagine it would be off much if it is? Nice to be be on good rubber again time to go on a casino trip, also just turned 36k
  11. i was telling you look at this as it could be the decoupler pulley on the alternator ,my daughter had one go bad so that's how i found out about it. it is the free wheeling pulley that bolts to the alternator... good luck as they are a hassle to get off as the belt tensioner is also..
  12. check the forums as this has been discussed quite a lot....welcome to the group
  13. my daughter said dad my van is making a whomp whomp noise and has been doing it for about a week, she is a postal route sub. driver so i take it for a drive and it sounded liked a possible brake pad grinding into a rotor but it made the noise with out your foot on the pedal, well narrowed it down to the front right side tire, jacked it up and the wheel had a little play when pushing on the tire so decided it was the bearing and it was, took about 30 minutes to replace it after going to buy a new one about $69. with the discount it was $49. at advance auto . its good thing we had replaced the cv joint so we had the socket for that nut I think its 32mm . but it sure didnt sound like a bearing going bad in the old days it usually sounded like a whine or high pitch noise....
  14. nope you have to return them to discount tire if they want you to return them,at least that's what they told me yesterday. i ordered a set of cooper cs5 ultra touring 235-55-19 fri nite with the $70. rebate from cooper and $30. rebate for using their credit card and the $40, instant discount got them for $620. without the warranty and will rec the 70+30 rebate in a visa cash card making total cost of $520 will have walmart mount and lifetime balance and rotation for $14. per tire so total $56. +$520=$576. and i have 30 days to buy the warranty from discount they want about $20. per tire for it. I Got to looking if you are buying thru them look for specials during the holidays if i had bought last month during their president day specials would have saved about another $65. oh well should get the tires in about 3 days they say hope everything goes okay......also with the size tires i got will throw my speedo off about 1 mph,slightly bigger tire than the org. tire
  15. 2009 Dodge Journey Alternator Noise from Pulley try googling this video it could be your decoupler on your alternator also that is making a noise,didnt find no video on how to remove your belt tensioner but most auto zones have printed literature on how to do stuff if you buy your parts from them. i know on my 2007 dodge caravan you have to loosen the motor mounts on one side to replace the water pump not to bad to do....
  16. have been washing my gutters and painted them last couple of days got up to about 70 today
  17. i've been getting computer calls lately, i just ask a stupid question then hang up...lol
  18. LOL you need to have some one post a pic of the seat as you are not giving enough info and everyone has to guess.....
  19. best way to check wires with a meter and have some one twist or bend the wires gently while you are keeping a good eye on the meter as the wires mostly are separated inside of their plastic casing.. good luck
  20. anyone ever use discount tire off the internet or tire rack ? should you get the warranty thru them looks like a pain if you had to return one.
