    Help!

    2late4u replied to Tay's topic in Engine & Transmission

    looks like the 3.6 thermostat comes as a 1 pc unit with the 203 thermostats already built into it , Not sure someone could add in a lower temp one as well but i have no experience replacing one on this motor...looks like it would be easy to change out as well

    dont forget you will need a 4 wheel alignment as well, had a 2011 never had a problem but my 2014 i seem to have a problem with it staying in alignment so much so while i was getting the new rear control arms installed at quick lane tire store they are associated or owned by ford motors dealerships, i bought a lifetime policy on my journey cost me around 180 at the time but at 90 a pop for a 4 wheel alignment i have already saved myself a ton of $$ every tire rotation i have it checked sometimes it is okay and sometimes they said it was a bit out but they always take care of me

    Help!

    as mentioned above you should not have to use any additives for your journey to run correctly, it could be any of the above comments that is making it run a bit hotter , as said have them check to make sure all the air has been bleed out of the whole system.good luck and report back what you find.....PS is the place that replaced your rad and other parts a regular shop or rad shop? i would be having them recheck everything as they did the job and should have the knowledge on what is wrong

    yes the upper rear control link/trailing link from the factory are NON adjustable when mine went bad i had them replaced with aftermarket adj ones and then an alignment..parts can be bought off amazon as well

    also a lot of led bulbs are made different and as cheap as they can, on the front remove the bulbs and rotate them making sure the connector is the same as your old bulb and that it is making a good connection and then reinsert back into the socket
  6. 2late4u
    not sure why the fronts are not working,contact the place you bought them from for best advise on them,and for the rear you will need to add a load resistor this is from amazon or can be bought from most part stores but will cost more than amazon also i just copied this so not sure of their quality. also you will need them for the front as well on any light socket you use for turn signals only.... led draws/uses less power so when being used on turn signals thus the hyper flash.....4PCS ARTR 50W 6ohm Load Resistors - Fix LED Bulb Fast Hyper Flash Turn Signal Blink Error Code(Resistor gets very hot during working)

    guess RayRay needs to have this journey towed to a Qualified garage to figure out the problem as trying to help over the internet is NOT going anywhere with this poster...good luck on getting it fixed

    Help!

    that sounds better, as far as the heat range check out you tube for videos on how to bleed the air it is real easy just a simple screwdriver is used from the top of the engine by your oil filter, i would try to bleed it just to be sure also have your heat turned on in the cabin when doing it ass well, report back on what you find out and good luck

    Help!

    get it back to the mech who did your work and let him check it out also he can can air out that might be trapped ,,change your dam oil,i use syn oil as well but i still change it every 5-6 k just to dam easy and not that expensive,,,and as mentioned engine size and miles always help when asking for help
  10. 2late4u
    well if the battery is the oem them yes you need a new one, i have a 2014 and already changed mine out 3 times once when my Daughter need one and mine was 2 yrs old i gave her my old one, i usually replace mine every 3-4 yrs just to be safe and not have a problem in the cold rain or on a trip since it is in such a hard place to get....just makes sense
  11. 2late4u
    yes your right the jeep uses a different transmission that doesn't have a replaceable filter without tearing it apart,but the journeys do have one which only makes sense, guess they think they will make more $$ off it i guess
  12. 2late4u
    actually i dont think the the 2,4 trans has a filter as on my daughters jeep 2.4 the dealership said the filter is not replaceable without dissembling the transmission they just replace the fluid
  13. 2late4u
    still no mention of miles ,but doing a flush like posted before was the worst thing you can do to a non maintained trans, have always herd that will make the trans go bad quicker due to all the new fluid , have a feeling a rebuilt trans is in your future

    i grew up about 20 miles from Woodward Ave... almost every fri or sat night we were cruising it and racing from stop light to stop light, trying to not get caught from the cops.. LOL what a way to grow up and also going over to Windsor Canada for a quick bite to eat and and hit all the nudie clubs that would let us in,,,,,,wouldn't get home till around 4-5 am.....had a good friend that his neighbor father was an engineer and worked at Chrysler and he was always bringing home sleeper cars that they would build but look like and old ladies car and he would always be going down to Woodward and race and and show it off to the local car racers to get their opinion on what Chrysler had going for street racing

    sounds like you need to find a qualified mech to fix this problem as your reg mech really doesn't seem to know anything about AC work and as from the questions you are asking us here on the blog indicates you are not applicable as well to find the problem ...not being mean its just AC work requires special tools and equipment and the know how to use it as well, also it can get real expensive real quick as well this NOT something that can be diagnostic over the internet,,,ask around of your friends for dealerships or shops that specialize in ac work as well....good luck and report back on what you find out
  16. 2late4u
    it is probally not working, maybe taking it into a qualified shop to have it looked at might help,,,,,

    same location as the journey

    I have a 2014 ,3.6 ( couple of yrs ago) that the oil pressure maxed out high as well on a out of town trip,( around 60 k on it at the timer), ended up being the oil pressure senor gone bad that is why it was reading high they said,,,they said a lot of 2014 were having this problem due to vendor problem,, the sensor is on the side of the eng on the drivers side,,,really hard to get to you can google you tube for the shortcut on replacing it if you are capable to do it................I am NOT sure the oil pressure senor is the same thing as the vvt warning you are getting... so check it out good luck
  19. 2late4u
    with a warning ticket there is no cost on them, also if you notice i never see any Texas plates with lic plate covers on them.....LOL they are strict there on that i guess

    Hello!

    2late4u replied to TeeJay's topic in Welcome!

    welcome to the group, what do you mean top box? also be aware of the undersized brake rotors on your 2011 easy to warp had one myself after going with just some regular good aftermarket rotors i didnt have much problem tho,, there is a way to upgrade them to larger rotors and pads look thur the forum part under brakes if you want to go thur that work tho
  21. 2late4u
    hmm better not go thur Texas with that, with the camera blocking over the top of the plate partially cover the states name, we know yrs ago we were going out to Vegas and the wife was driving and we got pulled over he said she made an illegal lane change and gave her a warning ticket and also gave her a warning ticket for the lic plate cover that i had on there that had a small eagle on it that partially covered up part of the Alabama on the tag and it was just a small part of it as well,,,maybe he was just trying to make his quota LOL oh well the next stop i removed the plate cover tho......
  22. 2late4u
    what an open ended question? since we dont know your capability of mechanic work. you should be able to find something aval, that is wireless but not sure how good they work of last..... but anyways welcome to the group and keep us jnformed on what you have decided to use and how good it works..take care
  23. 2late4u
    LOL

    i have always been told when a part is installed at the dealership 12 months /12 k warranty, but if it has yo be replaced again the warranty stays from when the first part was installed,,,, might want to go directly to corporate use the Ph # back of your manual or get it from the dealership.be nice and keep all your info organised and safe, good luck
  25. 2late4u
    just call your local dealership part dept,they will tell you if its possible
