    I know this is a old post but maybe some of you are still having this problem like I did. I cleaned all the sill and door holes holes on the cowling and even ran a air nozzle up the ac drain in hopes it was that . same problem this morning over night rain and drivers floor had water in it ..
    I noticed while removing the carpet that the previous owner had done the same .
    what I found surprised me . to the left of the brake pedal there are two lines cominging through the fire wall. the rear windshield washer hose and a main power cable. the leak was where the main power cable came through the firewall .mnot a very good bushing and had a foam square behind it I guess to help seal...
    when I ran a water hose over the windshield a lot of water came from the cowling and ran down the power cable and through the bushing and on to the floor of the car. the cowling really does not keep water out of the engine compartment at all .
    I was surprise there was not a drip loop or something to keep the water away ...
    poor design for sure . a bit of tuff stuff spray foam in the hole and filled up the foam cover stopped the leak...
    ran the water hose over the same spot in the windshield and all seems good to go.

    go for it !!!! sure the damage done would NOT be covered under warranty... it's not a 4x4 . the all wheel drive system was meant for slippery road conditions not muddling rock climbing etc ..
    of course if you are going to drive that new journey through a mud bog be sure to make a video of it ...

    my local dodge guy told me once you reset it it will take a few miles for the tranny to learn you habits... mine shifts smooth as silk and only seeing the tach move about do I know it's going through the gears...

    No, I was thinking about the plugs also, I guess /or would the plugs make the idle run at normal 600rpm and surge to 900rmp when backing up or having the break on at stop or idleing in park. it only does this when the DJ is warm. and it does it intermittently aver 5 secs. I guess it wouldn't hurt to remove the plugs. do I have to install the same plugs as the one on the DJ or can I just get cheaper ones. Also would the PCV value also make this happen . i don't think the PVC value has ever been changed.
