Oh....d@mn metric thing......still, 44k miles out of OEM Kuhmos aint nothing to complain about. There are some 50 and 60k tires out there. Pretty hard compound though, might make the ride a little rougher. When it comes to tires, I don't expect more than 40,000 miles, if I get more thats great. I dont keep a car past 100,000 miles (the primiary car anyway). Usually put one set on in that time. I can live with having to buy one set of tires for a vehicle I keep for maybe 4-5 years.

Guess we will never know the outcome.

You can mount them anywhere you want. On my 09, I just found spots on the inner fender in the engine compartment. Find a spot and mount them. I just used velcro.

I don't understand what the issue is. That's what brakes are made for, stopping. Sure, maybe some vehicles will hold a position on an incline without having to use the brake, then some don't. Use the brake. Not all transmissions are the same. Personally I don't like to have the trans itself keep me from rolling anywhere. If I want to stop, I use the brake. If I don't want to roll anywhere, I use the brake. It is nothing to be concerned about. IMO, it's bad for a trans to do that, kinda like the people who hold a manual transmission car in place on a hill by keeping the clutch partially engaged instead of pushing the clutch all the way in and using the brake.

You got 71,000 miles out of a set of tires and you want longer life??? Thats almost twice as long as most get with kuhmos. Maybe if you went to a solid rubber tire it will last longer. I would not complain at all about getting 71,000 miles out of a set of tires. I'd be bragging about it.

Welcome to the forum!

Keep your foot on the brake.

Get the code read and you will find the problem.

What is the blower setting and what is the HVAC setting (AC, heat, defrost, etc)? If you turn the HVAC completely off, does it still do it? Coaxing more info.....

Not enough info to properly begin to diagnose. From the engine? Windows? Exhaust? Details, details, details.....

Welcome aboard!

Happy Easter!

That cable is a jumper from the neg terminal on the battery to the post in the engine compartment, so disconnecting that cable from the post isolates the battery. It is connected to nothing else.

Isnt there a neg terminal in the engine compartment for when you have to jump it?

Dodge, Kia, Chevrolet?? Man thats a strange combination.....never thought Dodge and Chevy would team up....

Welcome to the forum Kelly. I personally have not had this happen. What year is your Journey?

Have you checked Amazon CA? They have LED bulbs. Also, superbright LED's ships to Canada.

A dealer laughed and said to buy a new car? Are you serious?

I don't have the ability to delete posts. It's only a couple. No worries.

Thanks! I got splash buards off Amazon way cheaper. They fit great too.

No denying that! We love our beer and barbecue. You can keep your wine and cheese.....

Silverstars for headlights. Stay away from HID in factory housings. You will accomplish nothing but blinding oncoming drivers unless you convert the housings to prpoer projector housings meant for HID's. I've ordered stuff from China before, sometimes it can take as long as over a month , especially if it gets caught in customs.

First thing I do is take off the dealer specific emblems, plaques and/or license plate frames. The dealer gets no free advertising from me, the vehicle, on the other hand, I like to customize my ride as much as the next guy. Modding is fun. I have 4 other vehicles I am currently doing different things with. The DJ I'M leaving alone for now because, like cskmom aludes to, I don't technically "own" it. I did buy a neat Mopar sticker for the rear window. And I know, since this is technically the wifes car, we will be trading it in 3-4 years (mama like a new car every few years) so I don't do much to her cars. Mine on the other hand....I can sink some serious money into modding my personal vehicles. Appearance and performance wise. It's all personal preference. I'm a gear head and I'm probably one of the few still left that feels my ride is an extension of me. Therefore I like to make it unique to me. Just not the DJ, since I don't drive it on a regular basis.

Welcome to the forum.

Not really my style. But it's your ride.
