Welcome to the group!

Moved to the correct section. NavalLacrosse gave you some excellent starting points. Good luck!

According to Rock Auto they are two different part numbers....at least for Monroe quick struts....

Closing your duplicate thread before you insult someone else. Thank you for sharing.

Bet you make friends easily.

This. Exactly.

Sorry to hear.

They all do it. Mine did it for 4 years and 80,000 miles. Never had a problem though. I just learned to live with it.

We are answering your questions. At some point, the responsibility lies with you, the vehicle owner. We can offer suggestions, things to check, etc. But in the end, you have to decide how best to address your issue. We can't fix it for you.

What are your symptoms?

It needs to vent somewhere when a over pressure condition exists. If yours is blowing coolant out of that hose, there is something else going on to cause that condition. If the thermostat is good, the water pump is good, the cooling fan is working, it’s time to check the head gaskets as mentioned.

We have these new car washes around here that only use microfiber "brushes". Does a fantastic job. Plus they have free vacuums. I use it regularly and never see any swirl marks. $16 and it does a better job than I can. Plus puts tire shine on as well. https://www.waveautowash.com/

Go with MOPAR parts. Also, make sure you tell them the correct engine so you get the correct part. The 3.6L did not exist in 2009.

Had our 3.6L for 5 years and almost 90,000 miles. Never had a tick. It's apparently NOT common.....

Try reading the first post......

Alternator went out on our 09 at about 70,000 miles. New ones were in the $350-400 at the time. Luckily we had the extended warranty so it only cost us the $100 deductible.

Nice! Keep it clean!

They are massed produced, just like Taurus's, civics, etc back in the day. Used to couldn't spit without hitting a Taurus. All about the numbers.

Are they intentionally trying to kill it? lol

You would need to buy a wrecked donor vehicle with that option then transfer everything over. Basically rebuild the interior of the vehicle. Lots of time and expense. These are the kinds of things you want to make sure the vehicle you are purchasing is equipped with from the factory.

Just get an OEM one and have the dealer install. That way you don't potentially void your warranty.

Wheel needs to be replaced.

Welcome!

Timing belt only applies to the 3.5L.

That hurts to even try to read.
