2015 Journey Tires w/ 20300 miles and they are crap
2late4u replied to glwitzel's topic in Wheels & Tires
local tire shop has some 245 45 19 take offs that look really good says he would let me have a set of 4 for $250. mounted and balanced... checked the tire calculator and they would act be a tad smaller than org tires 225 55 19, would throw the speed off about 2 or 2.5 at 70 mph he said a lot of camaro guys upgrading to bigger tires is why he gets them has about 7 tires 2 of them look almost new the rest about 3/4 tread left on them... -
would be nice if they could add the member map at the top of the forum page or someplace prominent on the welcome page

Is the Dodge Journey oil filter really that special?
2late4u replied to drjbg230's topic in Maintenance & D.Y.I.
to be honest i've seen some places that charge more for their oil filter than what the dodge dealer charges for it. but either way shouldn't be more than $12. max also be careful about which oil filter they use, the 3.6 uses different filters depending on which year vehicle you have. quick change or small oil change places MAY not know this... check with your dodge dealership and they will show you the difference in them... my 2014 3.6 takes a different one than my 2011 3.6 did...... -
2015 Journey Tires w/ 20300 miles and they are crap
2late4u replied to glwitzel's topic in Wheels & Tires
when you say index fingernail do you mean the nail like 1/16 inch or your finger and nail.seems if your clearance is that close you would scrape or rub on the bracket when hitting bumps.... that is real tight... any chance of a pic showing the tire and the strut bracket for how close???? -

Radiator over heating and interior heating
2late4u replied to MissMindy's topic in Engine & Transmission

2015 Journey Tires w/ 20300 miles and they are crap
2late4u replied to glwitzel's topic in Wheels & Tires
well i got close to 60k on my 17 inch kuhmos never had any problem with them, i have a 2014 now with the 19 inch kumhos and have about 33k on these but they are getting close to the tread bar and one of them is almost there, don't know why that one wore more then the others as it is evenly wore across the whole tread. anyways that is what i've experienced with both of my journeys rotated the tires every oil change and not a lot of so called city driving and a lot of interstate travel. always keep my tires at about 37 psi. Would have like to have got more wear out of this last set don't know if its because of them being a bigger size or what. What size are your tires? and when you do change you will have to go to a bigger size ( If you have the 19) to get a lot of different kinds of tires to pick from...... -
Whining from fan belt(???) on start up
2late4u replied to 2011DodgeRamJourney's topic in Electrical, Battery & Charging
was 25 degrees yesterday and mine a a yelp for about 2 seconds also had a appointment at my dealer to have a plastic door sill replaced so drove up there and the part they got in was wrong and i had asked about the noise and gave them the number of the service bulliten and as usual they say will it make the noise NOW and i said no it only happens when first started and is real cold so they tell well we have to hear it so you will have to leave it with us to check tomorrow if you want...oh well -

Backup camera alignment
2late4u replied to gmiller's topic in Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc.
i was told when i bought my mopar extended warranty that if refurbished parts were available they would be used first and then he said that most of the time they are not available but hey i have the lifetime and unlimited mile warranty anyway. also when a dealership uses their parts you always get a 12 month/12k warranty on the parts anyway. -
Backup camera alignment
2late4u replied to gmiller's topic in Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc.
dont really know what to say that wont make me sound like i am being rude? I am really surprised the dealer actual changed out your camera. just took my journey out and compared my backup view and looks about like yours first 2 pics, never had a concern about it, i do admit the last pic from your ford looks a little better they just condensed the lines and added a center line a little bigger but all three pics show you where you are backing up into... the one thing i don't like is when you first start up you go thur the warning and if you put it into rev right away you have to pause about 10 seconds for the camera to come on I don't like the pause -
Whining from fan belt(???) on start up
2late4u replied to 2011DodgeRamJourney's topic in Electrical, Battery & Charging
well you have a belt tensioner that might be going bad as when you first start up its cold and stiff and after a little bit it has warmed up and loosened up a bit. also the serpentine belt last about 60k to whenever but the belt might be glazed and causing some noise till it gets warm. if it bothers you enough concern take it to a repair shop or dealership. also i've always replaced the tensioner when ever i replaced the serpentine belt ,a lot of people don't but it is recommended to do that. -

12 volt power fuse keeps blowing
2late4u replied to bobcat98092's topic in Electrical, Battery & Charging
my daughter 2007 caravan front power outlet quit working but the back one still worked couldn't find any blown switches so i put in a new one and it worked for a while then it quit and still no blown fuses but when checking for power with a meter nothing was there, as she uses this for a mail vehicle i just ran a new wire to the battery and put in a new inline fuse and she hasn't had any more problems, oh well it works. -
dhh3 is right as my rear wasn't working this morning but the fronts were and the temp was only 28 f. i have been using summer fluid but last time added i used winter fluid but the plastic tank is big enough that it was diluted so the rear still froze up a bit. it started working latter in the day will have to go to the auto store and pick up some concentrated fluid to keep it from freezing up again. might be your problem as well...
-
what is your temp last nite, look for lines unplugged and or wet spots under car after cycling the switch several times, need more info as what is going on...
-
so is the new auto switch only needed for the lights to be on when the key is turned on and off or does it need the new sensor also, i might fool with all this if all i have to do is add the new light switch?
