  1. Probably air bags. I have not found anyone selling stiffer rate springs made specifically for the DJ.
  2. I find it interesting that laws are being passed left and right about cell phone use in moving vehicles, yet manufacturers are cramming more and more functions into a touch screen that requires you to take your eyes off the road to make any adjustment to anything. IMO, dials and knobs are much less distracting and easier to operate while driving.
  3. Welcome to the forum!
  4. Depends on the size. You say you have 225/65-17 and want to go to "245". Well, 245 what? If you go 245/65-17, you will increas the height by almost 1" and the width by @1". Here is a handy calculator for figuring out tire sizes: http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator Get out a tape measure and start measuring distances from your tire to body/suspension parts at full lock and such. Figure out how much room you have to play with.
  5. This subject has been beat to death in numerous threads. If you are uncomfortable with the wait, change it. If not, wait for the light. Me, I change mine 6000 miles/6 months regardless of the light. Others wait longer.
  6. So.....have you looked or you want someone to look for you?
  7. Dealer is the last resort for me, unless I know it will be covered by warranty. I do all I can myself. If I can't figure out something, I'll pay a local shop that I trust for an hour of labor to diagnose a problem, then I'll fix it myself.
  8. I always make the dealership has rentals provided for warranty repairs. If not, I find another dealer.
  9. Swap a coil around and see if, in fact, it is a bad coil before spending money on a new one.
  10. It will be fine to drive it. Not sure about the DJ, but some vehicles you can buy a replacement wheel stud. They are pressed into the rotor from the back side. Like I said though, not sure about the DJ.
  11. You must not have looked very hard. From the Dodge website: DJ R/T standard equipment: Included Features ■3.6L V6 24-Valve VVT Engine ■Six-Speed AutoStick Automatic Transmission ■Up to 25 HWY MPG+ ■Unique Monochromatic Exterior Look with Premium 19-Inch Satin Carbon Aluminum Wheels ■Premium Perforated Black Leather Interior with Red Accent Stitching ■Heated Front Seats and a Heated Steering Wheel ■Premium 368-Watt Sound System with Subwoofer Crossroads standard equipment: Included Features ■2.4L I4 DOHC 16-Valve Dual VVT Engine ■Four-Speed AutoStick Automatic Transmission ■Up to 26 HWY MPG+ ■19-Inch Hyper Black Aluminum Wheels and 225/55R19 All-Season Touring Tires ■Leather-Trimmed Seats with Sport Mesh Inserts and Light Slate Gray Accent Stitching ■Black Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel and Shift Knob ■Light Slate Gray Accent Stitching on the Center Console Armrest and Premium Door Panels ■Exclusive Liquid Graphite Accents on the IP, Gauge Cluster, Center Console, Door Pulls and Steering Wheel Click the little ! icon beside the model. Pretty simple.

    Hello

    Welcome to the forum!
  13. As I said, alignment is not the same as balancing.
  14. In the 4+ years we owned our 09 DJ with the 2.4, most we ever saw was 27-28. The 3.6 in our 2013 gets the same or better. Maybe if it floated we could have got more out of it...lol
  15. No worries. Lets see some pics!!! As far as the "what do I get with the RT" question, check Dodges website and look at the differences between the models.
  16. Seriously? Did you get a warranty? Did you read what is covered and what is not? Did they balance as well as rotate? Rotating does nothing if the balance is off. Alignment generally does not cause vibrations, mostly uneven tire wear.
  17. Welcome to the forum. One post is enough.
  18. If they have loaners and are out, I'm sure they would workk with you. You might have to press the issue.
  19. Start with a tire rotation and balance.
  20. I like Kuhmos. I've stated this in the many other threads on the subject. I run Kuhmos on my Z28, Mustang, Jorney, Eclipse and the Tiburon. I'll be putting them on my truck whenever I need new tires for it. Never had an issue.
  21. Have you not ever researched car prices on the internet?? As stated, kelly blue book will give you a general idea in your area. Also visit some dealership websites, or autotrader, carmax, cars.com. See what other, similarily equipped DJ's are going for.
