2014R/T

I'll check the belt and the tensioner but with my luck I'm almost sure that is not it. The size of the job doesn't bother me either. I'm doing basically top end rebuild on my 5.9l Dakota RT this weekend. I freshened the heads myself.

I can get a reman rack around $260 also. I was wondering it anyone has had this problem. There are no leaks either like I stated earlier.

I don't think it's the belt either. Not sqealing at all and that would mean the tensioner went bad anyway.

The pump is definitely cheaper but is a waaaaay bigger job. The wheel has to come off, then remove the axle and then drop the exhaust just to get to the pump. The pump is not making any noise whatsoever.

I have a 2014 R/T since new. It has 83k miles now and has been extremely reliable. Recently the power steering has been going out sporadically when parking or at VERY slow speeds. Tap the gas a little and it comes back. It is getting much worse every day. Recently the dealer told me the seals on the rack are wet but its trivial since the fluid level does not seem to be moving at all. Still at the high level. When I try to turn the is a loud thunk in the rack before the ps comes back on. At first I was thinking it was the pump but now I am thinking more than likely it's the rack?? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have those same springs sitting in my garage NIB since 2014 when I bought my Journey. My fiance popped the front bumper cover off backing out of parking spot and ripped it virtually off on a curb. So there went those aspirations of dropping my RT. I can't trust her lol.

I changed out all 4 corners with drilled/slotted roters with ceramic pads at 80k miles on the originals on my 2014 RT. The only reason I changed them was the fronts were starting to squeal more than usual. Thing is the were just halfway warm and had plenty of life left. But the pads were splitting, appearing to be delaminating causing the vibration sqealing.

Thanks, yes I found the detailed fix from another member on here. When I have time I may try it.

So my navigation lost all its marbles. Upon startup the message "Can't Unlock Maps" pops up and I can not use my navigation. A limited somewhat correct display map pops up but I can not navigate to anywhere. Dealer days the unit needs to be replaced at $550. They tried at no charge to me to update the unit and also tried to update the maps. Anyone else have this issue?

Oh and btw, the Avenger 3.6L K&N Typhoon cold air intake is a direct fit. K&N does not state that it will fit at all, I know for a fact it does, I have one.

Yes they give you a little improvement. I have one. Throttle response is a little crisper but mostly helps in mid-upper range rpm's. Probably would be even better if we had a MAF instead of this stupid air speed density system. And FYI it is the exact same throttle body that comes on the 4.7L V8 with drive by wire.

Has anyone tried swapping out the ECU from a 2014 3.6L Avenger in order to get a Diablo performance tune? Since they have the same setup I would imagine it could be a direct fit. Obviously the ECU would need to be vin matched in order to work but was wondering if the harness is the same? And I am aware the vehicles are calibrated different to to weight and the trans tables I am sure are different too but probably close enough. Unfortunately nobody tunes the Journey ECU. I have close friends at Superchips, who are local to me, have told me at least with them tuning is not gonna happen for the Journey 3.6L.

Very familiar as I am in Orlando. I am loving my R/T so far. Funny thing is that I was not even considering it when I was looking for a new vehicle. Can't wait to get my drop springs in so it actually corners like the R/T badge suggests.

Congrats!! Where in FL are u located?? Sean
