I sent them a message asking if it is for one or two. Thanks for the link though.

That auction is just for one cross bar....The description specifically states the auction is for item #2, which is the rear crossbar. #1 is the front crossbar. I was about ready to jump on it if it were for both. Do you have a link for the ones you got for $75?

I like how the 2-3 shift is still way up in the RPM range. i.e. practically no drop off in RPM's. What I cant stand is how quickly it wants to shift into OD if you are just driving lightly. I'm going up a hill at 30 mph and it shifts into 6th....and then I have to floor it.

My dad used to special order every vehicle we had when I was growing up. He always wanted some special option that was not normally found on the dealer lots. Example, in 1978 he special ordered a new Mercury Monarch 4 door sedan with a 351 and 4 speed. Only ones on the lots had 302/automatic combos. Thats the car I learned to drive in....what a sleeper that was.

You can get them, but they are expensive....I mean, come on, almost $200 for a couple pieces of aluminum?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/St-Aluminum-Adjustable-Roof-Rail-Rack-Cross-Bars-For-Dodge-Journey-07-14-07-08-/171148058602?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3ADodge

Welcome to the forum. What engine does your DJ have? Must be the 4 cylinder cause my V6 runs like a scalded dog!

I go back to the canbus system these cars use for control of everything.....I think any add on electronics must be compatible. May be wrong, but I know even changing a light to LED you have to use canbus ready LED's. Regular ones dont work (from what I have read).

Guess the op did not like the responses....

Hopefully not an expensive lesson learned. Stay away from "oil change shops". Crappy oil, cheap filters, unexperienced workers and....oh I forgot to put oil in that car...oh well.

Any OBD2 compliant reader/scanner will work. I have an Actron but mine is a more expensive model that does both OBD1 and 2 since I have cars with both systems. There are some cheaper ones as well. My suggestion is to go on Amazon and read the reviews. http://www.amazon.com/Actron-CP9125-PocketScan-Code-Reader/dp/B0007LEG2K/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Your fine to drive it. It's just like the check engine light. Comes on to warn you that something is afoul and to get it serviced asap.Most likely, when the light comes on, it disables the AWD system anyway.

Amazon, ebay, local parts store, etc.

Excellent service there!

It should be covered by warranty. welcome to the forum!

This is true. But having one of your own is pure convenience!

X2....PLEASE buy yourself a scanner. You can get them for as little as $20. NO WAY would I ever pay the dealer to scan a code for me, though I understand your predicament.

Seller obviously has no clue if he is blaming it on the "wiring from the Fiat group"....Fiat had nothing to do with it.

Welcome aboard! Where are the pics????

Needs to work with canbus.

I asgree with the how-to.....One of the mods needs to lean how to create a new section......

Glad to hear another good report on the DJ AWD! We also went from an 09 to a 2013. EWelcome to the forum!

It's your car. Do with it what you will. You don't need anyone's permission.

Not to beat a dead horse, but it amazes me how many people ignore the manual in their glovebox.....it comes in handy in so many ways...my wife used to constantly ask "how does this work?", "what does this do?"....even though I normally knew the answer, I would tell her to look it up in the manual....I think I got her trained now, but it is often overlooked..... Thanks for the link....someone may buy a used DJ without an owners manual

Agreed. But what we are saying is, that unless you modify the intake, heads and exhaust, all that extra air does nothing cause it has no where to go. An engine IS just a big air pump, but without modifying the air outlet, bringing more air to the inlet wont do any good. I'm done with this as well. It's your car.

As webslave says,. it's your money. Do with it what you will. Facts and statistics dont back it up though.ECU curves? Unless your custom programming your ECU along with your CAI, the ECU corrects for any excess air flow and negates any positive impact a CAI may have. Grant you I have one on my 1995 Z71, but only cause it makes my TBI sound like 4BBL at WOT.....lol
