Spray can be trickey and hard to get a perfect shade consistency and irreversible . Film is also tricky to work with for a first timer but shade is consistent and it’s removable in case you get in trouble with law enforcement. I recommend finding a local shop to tint those usually charge about 50-70 dollars per taillights.

So basically you want to do a custom exhaust like this? I did this when I first got it. Sounds nice start up and take off. As far as actual hp gains I cannot confirm but the wife and I like it so that’s good enough for me. Mufflers 30 each and labor was $50 total custom cost $120. Good luck in what you are looking for I provide pics of my set up. 4 inch slant burnt tip mufflers don’t remember the brand sorry.

Swap an engine? The pentastar 3.6l has plenty of power the way it is but if your lookin good speed or power I suggest upgrading to a Durango or Ram truck or a completely different brand car.

Nice but reading that forum he spent 200 dollars to make it????? Why not just buy it from rpmmotorsports for 200 dollars in that case. Anyways I stand by my statements no gains besides noise but very aesthetically pleasing. Good luck on your mod.

Like I mentioned before no gains besides noise so hope you don’t mind loosing the 200 dollars like I did. My intake resonator is still on though looks good under the hood.

I live in California you can remove anything you want as long as your catalytic convertors are left in place hence the name catback exhaust systems. So if you want a straight pipe after your catalytic convertor its fine smog will pass besides you'll know its legal because no licensed shop will remove your catalytic convertor since it is illegal for them to do so if they arn't replacing them.

I’m confused so your heater hose failed and I’m assuming you kept driving your vehicle causing it to overheat and warp the block? I’m not being mean but this goes for anybody as soon as your car is overheating pull off and turn off your car. It’s not your fault that the part prematurely failed, but since you continued to drive it overheating it the manufacturer sees this as your fault.

He no longer has the vehicle and is not an active member anymore unfortunately.

I agree with jkeaton 19-20 is my average 3.6l v6. (Heavy on the foot too traffic isn’t heavy though). And I get the full 500mile claim going to Vegas. (Reg 87 fuel ⛽️)

Was a compression test done most popular overheating issues with these journeys is blown head gasket worst case or melted freeze plugs. Good luck and please post results this is what forums are for.

If you think it's the starter I would remove it test it at your local auto parts store if it's in working condition. Then I would probably proceed to the dealer just depends how mechanically inclined you are. But I would read the more on this forum many claim it's a sensor issue for the 2009 Journey not starting up. For example, something like putting the car on neutral then being able to start it up I think I read(2009 Journey year.)

Well just didn't research on your issue and the fix "When your car will not start, turn it on, push your break in, and put the gear in neutral. Once it is in neutral, start your car. This should allow your car to start. If it starts, then you know that the problem is for sure the neutral safety switch. The neutral safety switch is not a very expense part.Anywhere around 20-60 Dollars. In most models, they have the neutral safety switch in the transmission."

That's just unreal , but in your shoes I would take it to an independent shop. It's just odd that they cannot detect the problem in my Journey the no start issue it was a dead premature fail fuel pump. Yes it was expensive to replace would of done it myself, but couldn't because I didn't have the space/authority to do so at my old place.

Are you saying that your Dodge Dealer has no idea why it's not starting? Or have you been diagnosing it on your own?

My money is your head gasket is blown seems to be a common issue others have posted on this overheating and their result was gasket blew. Good luck and please post results.

So this intake resonator delete kit is by RPM-Motorsports I say its overpriced but still bought it $199 it has stock air box and drop in K&N filter btw. Is it louder cant say I have an aftermaret exhaust, but throttle body response is noticeable. Also Top Plenum has to be removed as seen in the pics since tube is one piece you risk scratching the tube or tearing a cable.

Sure Ill post a picture later today and TOP plenum is where the throttle body is mounted on the journey is made of some sort of plastic composite on other vehicles plenums are made of aluminum or steel just various.

There are intakes that will delete both restrictive resonators on the Journey. RPM-Motorsports in Arizona provides them. I purchased one in my opinion it wasn't worth the price I bought it for 200 dollars I did notice the throttle response was on point other than that more noise and mpg was the same. If they were to change its price to 80-100 dollars then I would think it's worth it. Installation wasn't bad but top plenum must be removed for RPM motorsports resonator intake delete to be installed properly.

It basically tells you your car hasn't been warmed up enough but if it's doing it while driving I would definitely take it in I haven't had the pleasure to work on a diesel but please post up results of what was going on could be a faulty sensor/coolant is bad etc...

That's cool your Journey is a diesel then that is a glow light plug.

Assuming you have the 8.4 U-connect and are trying to use that screen you have to get it activated from the dealer so give them a call depending where you live they will charge you one hour labor service even though its a 10-15 min activation process.

To test a bad coil I would switch that 5th back one with another and see if the misfire moves to another cylinder. Check the spark plug too but if you are changing the spark plugs why not change all of them.

It would be the back right one drivers side.

I should of made a video my method took mins what your describing I have experience doing that on my g35 was not fun and took for ever. That is why made this post to let others know the easiest most effective method. For example if you have side moldings you would not want to use your finger nails or bumper sticker remover that would take forever.
