Appalachian Journey

Was it the spindle nuts or the intermediate shaft bolts that needed re-torqued?

Uniquely equipped Freemont in this video from YouTube. Not me/mine.

Was there a large photo of a Journey on whatever site your VIN search took you? Hero is an image type.

You might try a flexible/universal hose or if the pinhole isn't too close to the ends you could cut the hose and couple the two new ends. Your local auto parts stores likely offer repair kits and flex hoses.

You're welcome.

How about now?

It's okay. In time I'll spot one on a used car lot or something and have a look to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks.

Sorry. A poor choice of title for the post but I can't change it. I appreciate the effort but I'm not having trouble finding parts. I simply wish to compare the number on mine to that of a couple other cars of the same year and model. Thanks. I checked that and only the combo hose/cap assembly is listed. Nothing for cap 52028974AA.

I'm not looking to buy the hose assembly nor the cap necessarily. Just like to hear from a couple owners of the same model, SE.

Thanks bigtsr. Looks like the V6 models have a different setup. I saw that too. It is the cap that is part of the hose assembly. The reservoir has a snap shut cap similar to what is on the windshield washer fluid tank.

That's it. When the part number on mine is entered Mopar's own website the 2009 Journey SE doesn't make the application list. Just using this site as one available resource.

2009 Journey SE 2.4l gas. If anyone has the same and has the time to look and reply with the part number stamped on the radiator cap I'd be greatful. The part number on my cap is 52028974AA and is the original unless the dealer silently replaced it.

Start at the bottom of Dodge.com (US) click Contact Us/Your Vehicle/Equipment Listing. Enter the VIN to view a build sheet that should tell if yours is equipped with keyless entry. I don't know if you can program replacement OE fobs yourself. Aftermarket remote entry is available.

Too much negative camber perhaps. Have your alignment checked.

Spray detailer and a roll of thick paper towels or some old rags. Avoid spraying the cowl.

That's the point I was attempting to make. As I understand the OP is wondering if T rated tires are suitable replacements. T rated tires are inferior to H and Dodge specifies H so, no.

Yeah, the numbers make sense but the unanswered question is why does Dodge specify H rated tires. Perhaps it's simply performance perception or perhaps something else is gained from the superior construction they thought necessary.

Are you willing to risk possibly finding out why Dodge specifies H rated tires?

The first time I checked the level in mine it had the factory fill and oil was at the middle of the dipstick hash marks. I've changed the oil a dozen times since and always it comes to the middle of the dipstick marks when filled to spec.

If indeed it is the pan gasket. If it's a leaky filter or plug from the Costco oil change Dodge would be justified in charging to diagnose and correct it. If the leak isn't severe I see no harm first having Costco check it.

The front seal leaked on mine and replaced under warranty. I'd take it to Costco and have them check their work before visiting the dealer.

Mine developed intermittent no start. I pulled the wire on the starter solenoid, sanded connector on solenoid and on end of wire, applied dielectric grease, reconnected wire. Hasn't failed to start in the year or so since. And I'm not bothered by your thread title.
