2012 Journey - Factory Wiring found by spare tire - how to use?
jkeaton replied to AaronC's topic in Hauling & Towing
1. Does the wiring harness have the connector on it? If not, you need to get the other end to plug in to your 4 pin connector. 2. It's probably tie wrapped or taped. Just get a close look to see how it is attached. 3. Once you get it out, connect it to see if it works, if not then a dealer visit is in order. Thats all I got. -
Yep, thats all you need. I dont know why more people dont have one of these. It pays for itself the first time you use it. Since I have a mix of OBD1 and OBD2 cars, mines a little fancier, but the cheap ones work great.

Any quality aftermarket rotors and pads are a huge improvement over stock. Just depends on how much you want to pay.
-
Don't think they have any specifically for the DJ, bur there are kits on ebay where you can custom order them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CUSTOM-CAR-TRUCK-FENDER-HOOD-RACING-STRIPES-PAIR-VINYL-STICKER-DECALS-WRAP-JDM-/121163121722?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AJourney&hash=item1c35e2843a&vxp=mtr#ht_914wt_852

That link no worky.

Well, what I have read is they can crack, I mean, you got holes drilled all over the surface. The downside of using drilled rotors is that all of those holes tend to weaken the rotors -- just like punching holes in the wall of a house would weaken the wall. After repeated stressful driving, the rotors can even crack. Dimpled is ok, slotted eats pads. Yes, autocrossers run them, but they also change them after every race. I'd be concerned about the longevity of cross drilled compared to solid rotors. Personally, I'm not out road racing, so I have no need for the cost of high performance brake parts. By all means, do what you want though.

Wagner, raybestos, brakebest, all good aftermarket parets, imo. As long as you're not putting OEM (dealer) parts on, they will last. 2late4u is corrrect, I got a lifetime warranty on my pads, you wont get that with dealer parts. Much cheaper than the EBC stuff and just as good, imo.
-
I would not recommend cross drilled rotors. They are prone to cracking.
-
Not that I am aware of, imo, to cost prohibitive. What engine do you have? I'm quite pleased with the power of the 3.6. Maybe you should have got a different vehicle if the power is so low you are considering an engine swap.
-
Yes, everyone has the same problem. Do some searching on this forum. There are tons of threads complaining about the crappy brakes on the earlier models. Chrysler got around to fixing them in late 2012, IIRC. Edit: You can avoid repeated replacements if you get quality aftermarket parts instead of using dealer parts.
-
According to Brake Performance.com, Crew and R/T have larger brake rotors. 12.99" front, 12.91" rear. All other models: 11.89" front, 12.01" rear.

Ah...dynamat.....I thought he was saying he blew up his Camaro(dynomited)...haha...I was trying to figure out how that had anything to do with a custom exhaust on his DJ. Anyway, I thought the dynamat stuff was for sound deadening, not vibrations.
-
Sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately too far away for me.
-
So you have an aftermarket exhaust on your DJ and the dash vibrates? What does "dynamated my 92 Camaro" mean? What exactly are you asking?

As stated, it's not impossible, just impractical. Welcome to the forum Shannon!

Well put slave. (hehe)....To me, oil catch cans are like CAI's. A gimmick invented to steal money from the uninformed. Sure, I have "CAI's" on my Eclipse and my Z71, but ONLY cause it sounds cool and takes no more effort to maintain than a regular filter on the factory intake. IMHO, if cars these days needed a "catch can" for oil blowby that could be detrimental to the life of the engine, manufacturers would install it from the factory, and add it to the maintenance schedule for refurbishment so they could make more money. I view those things in the same light I view the "chips" sold on ebay that promise 100 more HP and 25 more MPG when it's just a resister for the intake air sensor. But, go ahead, add one. It's just one more thing you have to maintain. In this "Set it and forget it" world we live in, I surprised there is still a market for these things for the average, every day driver.

Looks really good. If you have to ask, you can't afford it....lol... Google dash kits for DJ's, it will give you an idea on the cost.

Yep. I use this one. https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator

Glad you got it worked out. I know on our 09, the front rotors warped at about 12k. Dealer replaced them for free cause my wife, well, when she gets angry, look out.....then the rear ones warped at about 15k. I replaced those myself with some good wagner brand rotors and ceramic pads, then the front ones warped again just around 20k. I decided to go ahead and replace them myself again with the same wagners and ceramics I put on the back. When we traded it in at 80k last year, brakes were still fine. Just saying you dont havw to break the bank to get better brakes, just some quality aftermarkets are a huge step up from the crap Chrysler put on there in the beginning.

Yokohama, Hankook, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Dunlop, Continental, to name a few. (235/55-19 size sold by Disciount tire, which it looks like as close as you can get to the stock 225/55-19 size)
