I think the trans cooler is standard, but not positive.  I have one on my 09 R/T, no tow package.  As far as trailer brakes, I thought only required at the 3000 lb area, but again not sure.  There are tons of people towing here, as well as a ton of threads.  I’m sure someone with better knowledge will chime in....

where would that cooler be?  in front of the radiator?

Which engine? What does your state law call for?

crap sorry about that, i was adding things to my original sentence and forgot

its the V6. 

and im not sure what the state law asks in regards to trailer brakes.....

good day guys.  time for another towing question.  i have a 2017 GT.  it does not have the towing package.  im looking at this small overlanding trailer to put a roof top tent on.  the trailer weighs 690lbs dry, the roof top tent weighs 150.  with gear inside the small trailer (300-500lbs) plus a full tank of gas, the human weight and some more gear inside the car im looking just near 2000 lbs total.  id like to go to the dealership and get the tow package installed and possibly a mopar hitch.  the trailer total weight will be at or near 1350 lbs. 

my question is should i use a brake controller with this small setup?  what about a trans cooler?  and does anyone know what parts i need from Mopar so i can get them ordered?

thank you for your help!

so you deleted the muffler and put in new resonators? hows it sound?

did you get that rev sound clip yet?

which muffler and tips did you get?   hows the drone noise on the highway?

so this morning i got the update screen when i was using my navigation.  i said update now or wait 28 days or 1 year?  i chose wait 28 days. 

my question is this.  ive never seen anyone ask about this popup on here yet, when i get it again can i just hit update and it will update? or is there something else involved?

thanks!

soap is about 24 % as ;ubricant as a good detail spray.  you REALLY want as much "lube" as possible to NOT scratch the paint

The reason I asked is because my hood feels bumpy and even after I had used polish on it

try it. claybar it and see how it looks vs the rest of the front end.  REMEMBER to use  A LOT OF SOLUTION.  NOT WATER!!  go buy some detail spray and keep the area your working on VERY WET AT ALL TIMES

yes, and REMEMBER............you really MUST after claybaring put a paint sealer on THEN a good wax job.  and trust me if you only do 1 area you WILL notice, so just do the whole car.

so a friend has a 300c.  my journey is cooler hahaha, anyway he just got these RIPP coil packs

he swears he can tell a significant difference.  i asked him since he put in a CAI at the same time did that help??  he isint sure but is positive it was a worthy investment.

they are horribly priced, i was wondering everyone's thoughts on something like this?

yeah thats what i figured.  i mean the build date on the car is may of 2017.  figured it should be ok refrigerant wise but dang.  just wanted to make sure i wasnt missing some step is all

so ive had this journey for 11 months.  i swear to you today is the 1st time ive actually USED the AC.  i have 3700 miles on the car, and today its 101 degrees out.  so i crank it on, set it to 68 degrees, have it set to inside refresh air.

and in the 20 mins it took me to get to my destination..................................the car was MAYBE 5 degrees cooler.

am i doing something wrong?  im 45 and have NEVER been so unimpressed with a cars AC before.  my wife says..........its hot out and the car is a dark color.  our old blue caravan was dark blue and within 3 mins usually we were turning the AC down cause we were all getting too cold.

whats the deal??  anyone have any helpful insight on this damned AC?

TB for pentastars are on that site....

yes but is that driving load? (dynamic) vs parked load? (static)

so ive seen a lot of those roof top tents on every type of vehicle here in Colorado these past few weeks.  it has gotten me REALLY interested.............does anyone on here have one?  they arent too heavy, but when the car is parked and tent is up the tent itself will hold 600 lbs.  me and the wife arent that much so im good there, but how do i find out if the journey roof rack will hold us plus the tent weight?  ive actually seen a lot of subarus with these tents, i figure they cant be too much better than the journey in terms of weight up there.......

anyway who if anyone has one??  what do you think?

look again....that little dual red slash with the 4 in the middle...the same as under my user name to the left..... IS the new dodge awd symbol

Will this work with the 2.4?

not at all

NO OFFENSE........its a crossover vehicle, not a full blown SUV.  the big tires scream "i wish i had a real SUV"  but to each their own i guess

WOW  throttle bodys are less than 200 usually.  4 bolts holding them in........BAM your done in less than 2 hours.

LOLOL.....I have not yet tried (lack of trust maybe?) that site yet. Maybe it's the really bad Chinese to English translations....

i can vouch for aliexpress....as long as you sort items by seller as in better sellers first you wont have a problem.  ive EASILY bought 20 different things from aliexpress.  the down side is waiting upwards of a month to receive your items from china.

you should give em a try.  they have AMAZING products.  if you have ever heard of chemical guys stuff Adams is similar.  ford vs chevy kinda thing.

............who had an grand opening/open house at his new warehouse down the street from me.  i couldn't go because my son was having surgery, HOWEVER i went today and picked up a few essentials for the Journey.... and they threw in a hat for the lil guy too!!  LOL

not to start cleaning............

anyone else use Adams?  if not you should try the stuff out!!!

Better than the SRT menu, from what I saw in the video, you can use this to enable your DRLs, something dealers can't do.  Not only that, but apparently you can even control how bright they are . . . . .

Can't link to the post because the group in question is closed.
 

by DRL's you mean daytime running lights?  on my car you can enable OR disable them.  is that just a US thing?

also they guy that did the mod told me THIS is the cable he used.  under $100.00 for a sweet mod in total (software & cable)
