  1. Front brakes do a much higher percentage of the braking than the rears. How hot they get is highly dependent on how you use your brakes. Do you ride with your foot resting on the brake pedal? Do you drive it like you stole it? Are you in constant stop and go or do repeated high speed stops? As stated, the 09's have undersized brakes, so, yes, they may get hotter than other vehicles which have adequately sized brakes.
  2. I should have clarified, American cars....lol
  3. Rear disk brakes have always needed to be turned to seat. You can buy a kit from Harbor Freight for about $30 that has adapters for all makes and models.
  4. Check superbrightLED's, they have a bulb chart for cross referencing
  5. I used that stuff once trying to "smoke" a chrome appearance strip on my Dakota front bumper. The stuff looked like crap. I prepped the surface appropriately as well. Ended up having to buy another trim piece because it messed it up so bad.
  6. Should still have balance of factory warranty in effect depending on the mileage.
  7. I agree. Where did you buy it? You should question that seller, or take it to a Dodge dealer.
  8. I agree. Now what are you doing? Also, use the search function. There is a thread describing grill removal. http://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/2904-front-grille/
  9. Lesson learned I hope. Open your hood every now and then and check fluid levels. I do this every time I wash the car. Once a month at least. Call me old school but I don't put much faith in electronics telling me when to do things.
  10. Hence my reference only post. If you want true MPG, calculate by hand.
  11. Find another dealer then. You have a warranty, you should use it.

    Hello all

    Welcome to the forum. Use the search function before asking questions. 9 times out of 10, there is already an existing thread on whatever subject you need to discuss.
  13. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Calculate manually to see the real mileage. Consider the DTE and MPG readouts to be "reference only".
  14. No issues with temps or ticking for me. What are you comparing "really hot" to? If it's not overheating and the gauge is in the normal range then it is not "really hot". You should check your coolant level though or have the system flushed if you think there is a problem.
  15. Are you including shipping or local pickup only?
  16. I loved my 09 so much we bought another. If you don't like it, sell it. That is your decision. Your going to let some anonymous forum members dictate it for you?
