i watched a u tube on cleaning them as well, great that it worked for you and would be a great idea to do before replacing with new ones
-
plenty of videos on u tube for checking motor mounts , get some one to watch the engine and put it in gear, foot hard on the brake and give it a bit of gas the engine should move some but not a whole lot, might also be a transmission mount as well,,,also check your wheel bearings by lifting and put on jacks and then spin and manually rock the tires to see if any thing wrong there. good luck and report back what you find

just like any company they can charged different amounts on any product that they want. just contact them and see if they want to beat the other companies price, best way to do it..When i bought mine i bought from Zeigler as they were the cheapest at that time but things always change....also if you have to have a repair thur a dodge dealership prices can vary from dealerships to dealerships on parts and labor....

remember some one had posted he bought a journey from car-max i believe and they kept bouncing him back and forth between them and Chrysler on a repair problem, i personally wouldn't buy a third party warranty, of course the warranty i bought on my 2014 was the first one i have ever bought on a vehicle in my life, so far i have had to use it one time so far and it saved me about $400. with the add $100 ded i had to pay plus paid for a car rental bill while being repaired.,,,, i paid around $ 2200. for it when i bought it.
-
would only buy a warranty if you plan on keeping it a long time, if just a few years might not be worth it kind of like gambling

welcome to the group

welcome to the group, that said i love my 2014 journey and also had a 2011 journey,no real problems with either one, but since i am retired and planning on keeping this one forever i bought a lifetime unlimited warranty on my 2014 ......sorry to say dodge doesn't offer that warranty any more to present buyers but they still offer some great warranty's even on used low mileage journeys, if you plan on keeping this journey for a long time period ,with the cost of engines and transmissions these days you might want to check into one , several of us have bought off the internet and get a BIG discount on the OEM MOPAR warranty instead of a third party company....good luck and here is some info on warranty's..www.chryslerfactoryplans.com .www.chryslerwarrantydirect.com ,,

identify these parts please
2late4u replied to wpginterceptor's topic in Brake, Chassis & Suspension
the video doesn't show him replacing the other bushing and i would recommend it as well ,plus an alignment, plus any other part you might want to replace but this will fix your camber problem -

the upper trailing control arm is what was causing my rear tires to wear on the inside of the tires.... i kept having problems with the OEM part as it is non adjustable, that is why i went aftermarket for the adjustable one since then no problems, i had them do both sides as well, and of courser you then ten have to have a 4 wheel alignment done.................... -

assuming that is the rear upper trailing arm i had mine OEM which is NON adjustable replaced with an after market one which can be adjusted..Moog RK100119 Control Arm price from amazon is about 70 plus tax the other one i assume is the lower one -
sounds good, use to like that stuff when i was younger,,,now at 66 yrs old between the ringing in my ears and the sound of my bones creaking and me grunting when i get up or down , i appreciate the quite sound of my journey
-
tips look nice where did you buy and cost of them i assume you have to have the old ones cut off and the new ones welded back on

i believe the trans service is at 100 k the same as the plugs on the 3.6 and coolant at 120 k i had my trans done at around 65 k and then at 100 k i had the plugs and coolant clanged out and will have the trans done again at about 130 k even tho i have the max lifetime warranty on my journey i just dont want any surprises just makes good sense, have been thinking on having the power steering fluid changed out as well

P06DD and NOT the Oil Filter Assembly Housing
2late4u replied to Mudshack's topic in Engine & Transmission
all i can think about this post is when they noticed it was 3 qt low on oil and then gave it back to you and said drive it 1000 miles and then you were 3 qts low again doesn't any one check their oil at least once a week any more ?,i still check mine at least once as week it is so easy to do. -
i thought every one in cal drove Tesla

about the same here, hell just keeping the leaves and other crap we get in the south out of there would be a pain

only time iv ever replaced struts was on my daughters caravan which she used on her mail route and we used the Monroe quick strut,, it was one complete unit went in easy and she never had any more problems with them....good luck and report back on what you find out

did you have a problem leaving the fuse in the in line fuse holder?

still having problems with this harness. i rec the replacement today havent installed yet, but i did buy a led tester from harbor freight and it shows the juice going to the trailer connector working on both the left and right side but when hooked up to the trailer connector only the left side works ,the right side blinker and brake doesn't work, i actually dont have the trailer hooked up to the journey with a trailer ball hitch ,just the wire connector, not sure that should matter since the left side works great but not the right side, I am going to hook up a wire ground from the journey to the trailer just to make sure that cant be the problem,,, this has got me stumped as this is doing the same thing on 3 different trailers that i have tried it on....

2010 Journey Rt humming noise

also make sure you have a good seal on the air cleaner box since it sounds like a vacuum that goes up and down with the speed also any of the tubing and connections -
you mean other than any other 6 yr old car, if its been maintained then shouldn't be nothing to worry about i have a 2014 crossroad with the 3.6 and love it have 102 k on it,only had 2 problems with mine 1 was the oil pressure sensor went bad was covered under my max warranty and also have had my upper rear trailing links replaced with adjustable ones as the OEM are non adjustable.,the 2.4 is easier to work on like the plugs but you are supposed to change them out every 30 k but $12 for the copper plugs and dont use anything different and half hr and your done.... i would change the plugs and have the transmission fluid serviced as well along with the coolant service also..also in city driving will not be that great if that brothers you

when working on the rear the upper rear trailing arm is a non adjustable OEM part, the bottom ones are adjustable, i ended up going aftermarket with the upper ones as you can buy them so that they can be adjusted, they can be bought off amazon ,rock auto or most local part stores

11 yrs old and also fairly high mileage as well like john said nurse it along go to a thicker oil and save some $$ and keep an eye out for a low mileage engine like he said from lkq or scrappers in your area just be careful who you buy from or run it till it pukes and then scrap it depends on what you want to do , I wouldn't put a lot of money into something this old unless i really wanted to keep it.good luck

actually seen it was made in mexico on 2-22-20 at least they are sending me a new one with no problems,so that is a good company policy,,,have a great weekend

only problem so far is when it is hooked up to a trailer only the left side trailer lights work, checked with Curt tec support they said to check the wire on the right side where it is spliced from the factory, they have had some problems i guess,so checked that unplug everything and re-plugged it back up again still not working on the right side only left side working ,all of a sudden right started working,,put the lights back in buttoned everything back up,everything still working got home from my stepson house, fixed lunch and then went back outside to try it on my neighbors trailer and dam only the left side working, checked everything again nothing just the left side working so i called Curt tec support again told him everything and he said well i dont have a clue as to the problem so ill just send you another one and said take care..oh well so much for plug and play ....
