Moparman Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) This was an 09 or 10 we just did at work. 95k on it They had oil changes at a quick lube joint, and they never mentioned the leak at the tcase. It ran low and BOOM. They only hold .8 of a L The pic of the vent is the old style, now updated to long rubber one, that is looped up into engine bay. Old style can draw in water under certain conditions, heavy rain, etc. I would VERY STRONGLY rec you change the fluid every 40k Klms as these are hard on tcases .

caperinmuskoka Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 How come the first pic is listed as Volvo? Does the 2009 / 2010 Dodge Journey have a power train coverage past 100,000 KM? ............Caper..............I need to check my 2012 manual to see what the change KM is for the AWD...

Moparman Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Its just a spot i loaded a few pics, ignore the volvo one. No they all have 5/100 PT warr. unless you buy a goldplan. Manual says to change at like 110k if I remember right. I'm going to keep an eye on the condition of mine, first time will prob get changed at 20k or so. Always gets dark first time quick due to wear in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caperinmuskoka Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Thanks for the info....How much fluid does it hold when it's at the proper level? ...........Caper.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moparman Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Only .8 of a L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caperinmuskoka Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Wow ....The seal may have been leaking abit causing the failure............You will not have much time if the seal is bad with only .8 L in there.......About the new style vent, did Dodge change anything, or just a upgrade when doing the work?(Journey years 2009-2012) ..........Caper..............

Moparman Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Yeah not much of a leak to loose that amount of fluid. As for vent, if you order a new tcase, comes with new vent. Somewhere in 2010 they switched to new style vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyowner2009 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I OWN A 2009 JOURNEY AWD AND RECENTLY HAD DEALER REPLACE THE PTU WHICH TOOK SERVERAL DAYS. NOT SURE IF THE DEALER CHECKED ANY OF THE OTHER FLUIDS, BUT NOW THIS MORNING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. IT FIRST CAME ON ABOUT A WEEK AGO BUT HAD TURNED OFF AND STAYED OFF, NOW TODAY THE LIGHT STARTS BLINKING ON AND OFF SO I PULL OVER AND THE LIGHT TURNS OFF. HAD TO DROP OFF AT DEALER THIS MORNING BECAUSE THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AS IF THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO DIE. I'M CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT THE DEALER HAS TO SAY AFTER CHECKING IT OUT. Salah-Belkhodja Abdeslem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
