  1. That's what I'm saying. Sure. I could upgrade and it would sound "better", but I'm perfectly happy for what it is. I have no complaints. If I did feel so inclined to sink money into a vehicle I'm making payments on and will probably be gone in a few years, I'll put that money into gas, tires and oil. GTO. I have no problem with people who feel otherwise. Your arguments to the contrary won't sway my opinion. Audio quality is not high on my list of desirables when purchasing a vehicle I know I won't keep.
  2. To all my DF friends. Can't we just all get along? I apologize for my past transgressions. Let's all just bury the hatchet and move on. I would ask, in the future, arguments be done through PM's and not out here for everyone to see. We all bring valuable knowledge and past experiences to the forum. Let's try and keep it that way. Topics get taken off track way too much. If we are to be a technical resource instead of a Facebook page, we need to focus on the thread topic. Useless memes and arguments don't help the person asking an honest question and makes searching for an answer about damn impossible. I'm not trying to be a nazi, but I do need to maintain control as it seems I'm the only active mod (with extremely limited powers) on this forum. I don't like it, but I will start deleting posts that don't address the thread question/issue. There are no stated rules for this forum, admins fault, not mine. That being said, I will use my own common sense ( which may not be shared) in determining thread responses and will delete said responses if I determine they are not helpful. Some of you may not like that aporoach and I encourage you to propose alternative methods. Or feel free to contact an admin (I honestly have no idea who he/she/they are). Bottom line, there are Facebook groups out there for Journeys that have people asking questions we have answered 10 fold and I invite them to visit here as this should be a more controlled environment to ask questions and not get flamed for it. Yes, I have not been behaving appropriately, but I now realize that and want to make this forum great. Hope you can understand.
  3. Warranty work does directly cost the manufacturer. So they will try to save money wherever possible. Is it right? No.
  4. I'm sorry but I assure you it does sound just fine for our tastes. Yours may be different. It's like paint colors or tires. Everyone will have a different opinion. No worries and it's OK to feel differently.
  5. It's the nature of the beast with these vehicles, provided you have the v6. They make all kinds of noise on startup.
  6. Haha. You gotta be a bit limber but you can reach them from underneath. Jack the front end up enough so you can crawl under and see where the bulbs are at. Then it's mostly by feel to remove and install. Took me about 10 mins per side. Including swapping the o-rings.
  7. I was able to do mine from underneath without having to remove the fender liner.
  8. Yeah. I took the o-rings off the OEM bulbs and used those. Without o-rings, you will run the risk of moisture inside. It's not running through water that causes it, it's the temperature difference when the housing heats up and cools down. Hopefully LED's don't get hot enough to cause that problem.
  9. If its on top of the tank, there is no other way.
  10. I have Led 9006's. Work out well. They say all weather so I assume they would be in in freezing temps, or they would come with a warning.
  11. Should be fuse descriptions in the owners manual.
  12. Just hope you don't screw something up. Your warranty (if you have one) will be voided.
  13. If you are referring to retuning, such as superchips, Diablo, etc, there is nothing available off the shelf.
  14. Could be. Three different manufacturers got their molds wrong then.
  15. This is a Dodge Journey forum. Don't know how similar a caravan is key wise. Not sure I understand "key FOB is getting stuck in the ACC"..
  16. Or when he hits the nitrous and loses control from torque steer.
  17. ^^ new cool kid on the block.....
  18. True, but is also takes them time to crack the PCM on newer vehicles. For example, superchips and diablo still don't support 2015 models (or not all, yet).
  19. Supports 3.5 & 3.6 for 09-12 models and 2.4 for 09-10 models only for now. http://www.hptuners.com/products/vcmsuite_vehicles.php
  20. Probably a bad connection. Electronic media devices don't "skip" like CD's.
  21. Anything is possible with enough time and money. Never been done on a DJ since I've owned one (09). Go for it.
  22. Welcome to the forum. Drive "cycle" means get in and drive it a few times. In other words, start it, go for a 15-20 minute drive, stop and turn the vehicle off = one drive cycle. By asking "is there anyplace to get the OBDI codes", do you mean a list of OBDII (your vehicle is OBD II) codes and what the mean or how to retrieve the codes from the vehicle? If you are looking for a list of codes and what the mean, or the meaning of a specific code, ask google, plenty of online sites can assist in code diagnostics. Here is an example: http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/ If you are asking how to retrieve a code, it has been stated several times in this thread. Dealer, auto parts store or buy a code reader.
