I have DJ's with wheel mounted controls, not stalk mounted. BUT if the Check engine light is on, it is supposed disable the cruise control function. Might this be your cause????t

$17000. for a transmission????OR are there other things needed also?
The 62te AWD transmissions are interchangeable, you just may feel different shift points/feel between the 1, which from such a short time of having the car, you would probably never know the difference.

The tire arrived Monday at 11:30 am. all4 got installed today...wife will be HAPPY again to have HER ride back!

I am NO electronics' lover when it comes to Bluetooth and phones. 
For navigation , on older years the radio unit of the correct type{RB5} contains the navigation. I'm not sure being yours is a '17 model if they employ a radio code to unlock for your year, it's 'plug and play" for older years like mine.
In fact I found out today my friend got a body wrecked DJ for parts and has the Nav. radio unit and Bluetooth module. I'm getting the nav. radio as we're not certain wiring harness is there to put in the bluetooth module.
Yours may not have needed harnesses either {pre installed} and would be a big job to do if car needs to be "in use" and can't be "down" for a day or two.
And you'd still need the steering wheel controls and probable clockspring and correct wiring for it. 
A LOT OF INVESTIGATING NEEDS TO BE DONE before taking things apart.

In the salt belt, stuff like wheel bearings can be a bit of a bear. Even a Journey that was rust check sprayed 3-4 times like this one.  If you are changing a loud bearing hub on an awd model. You can leave c/v shaft in place fairly easily if you have access to a sliding hammer. If diff lip seals aren’t leaking it’s easier/faster to not disturb things. Mine were already changed few years ago.
Original bearing had 250k kms  or 155k miles, not bad really for the crappy roads vehicle was driven on.
 
 

 


 

First of all, Is your new to you equipped with phone/ bluetooth control pad on the left side of the steering wheel? IF NOT then the components are not in the car that would give you those features and are quite PRICEY to buy and install.
Of the 3 older year DJ's{'11, '13, '14} in my stable, only 1 is equipped with bluetooth/phone and no navigation.

13 hours later, it is just EAST of  Dayton, Ohio. All this headache because I was trying to save an 80 mile round trip to either of the 2 closest Walmart stores to me!!!!! The tire will probably go to Syracuse and back to Buffalo and then South down to me..... IF the shipping label does NOT get damaged AGAIN.

and I thought I was the only person this stuff happens to........

the one time that I did have a problem with discount tire shipping the tires to my house I received 2 tires bundle together that were  same size that I ordered and then 2 tires bound to gather one the right size and the other one a way bigger tire, what the hell was the  the guy putting the order to gather  was thinking I don't know,, but I called them that day and they apologized a lot and sent me the correct size and also gave me free warranty on all for tires as well and they said just leave the wrong tire outside the garage as well I rec the replacement tire less than   2 days later

And point of origin was only 6 hours drive away at Oak Park Michigan.

If spraying with hood open, LOOK on the drivers side at the hood pivot area. The washer line makes a 180* bend there to go into the hood spray nozzles. 
2 of my 3 DJ's had that area kink  and one was actually broken. I repaired with flexible hose with a little extra length so the original layout of this hard plastic line does not bend so sharply.
Also on my third DJ a  washer nozzle had a broken fitting for the supply hose to hook up to, This one had enough to reconnect  back and I used a mini tie strap to hold it on, just like using a hose clamp. This problem made both nozzles ineffective as they run on the same supply line through the hood.
Good Luck!

I'm in that same boat.... My wife says i have to sell the Buick and the '14 BEFORE I can buy a minivan or Pacifica, which would be more beneficial to my uses. BUT I don't dare think of selling off HER '13RT! and son is very happy with the '11.

Don't think my wife will let me buy 2 more and modify them. As it is I'm not allowed to buy any more cars. 😆 🤣 😂 
4 is my current limit 

Y'all talk of being happy with your singular ownership of your Journey......Proof of liking is having 3 at the same time and all road ready!   ROFL

So today {Tuesday} I ordered the 4 Kumho Crugen tires with ship to home for a grand total of $460.04 from Walmart. They are supposed to arrive Friday, and when in hand my friend will mount and balance them for me. I'm hoping he will also put them on the car, as I really don't care for the thought of bringing the wheels "loose" to him. He has gotten very busy this last month, I guess some folks are getting tax refunds and getting cars back in shape for the upcoming summer!

I'd go with those "cleaner" fish for fish tanks, they'll keep the insides of the lamp units nice and clean!

Further update
 It was a LF wheel bearing also and all the caliper pins were VERY STICKY. MOOG front bearing and Raybestos front and rear pads were delivered Friday at 1:45 pm  from rockauto for another $185. Bearing and front brake work done by Friday at 4:30pm I did the rear brake work today with snowflakes in the air, 2.5 hrs. time and finished by 12:30 pm
 
Now it just needs TIRES!!

Well.. To close out this "story". 
$950 total bill
Was a funky exhaust cam sensor causing the CEL that delayed return of the car. I guess it didn't like getting "jostled" from the work done.
Besides needing tires , now that I've been able to DRIVE this RT{remember it's the WIFE'S} I've got some more work to do on this car for braking and possible also RR wheel bearing.
She will be driving the'14 for a while while I do more checking out on the '13RT between the rainy weather days.

I would have to go out and measure, but I think the Lucerne of mine is not much shorter than your "CADDY"! I spent the winter driving the '14 and had almost forgotten how nice the ride is in the Lucerne, it's NOT the air ride "special" with the 4.9  v8 but has the rear load leveling air shocks. Ride is great in the Lucerne, but not meant for utility purposes without hooking up my trailer to it and then a royal pain maneuvering as the combo is sooo long!  The wife's rt with hitch is so much nicer for using the trailer!
 
So YES an adequate size garage with high enough ceiling{12-14' high} for a surface mount 2 post hoist is MY DREAM. I've lost out on a low rise and 2  2 post hoists because no enclosed area for them over the last few years!!!!!!
 
Great hearing from you, been a while!

Green with ENVY! may hit low 60's between showers on Mon. and Tues. Got to get the brakes done on the Buick, the Journey's fog lamps will be quick as the splash pan is not there like most DJ's...and I prefer it that way!
   I surely wish I had a garage to work inside of at my home☹️

I got home from worship services at 1:00 and changed clothes and "dove in" on doing the Buick's rear pads and rotors. Weather was fantastic sunny and 64*. Was just putting the first caliper back together around 2:30 and all of a sudden the sky went dark and thunder. then rain and then hail{small}, back to rain and then bright sunshine after about 20 minutes. Went and did the other side when I got done with the first RR corner and got done around 5:30. When the wife gets home from work with the '14 Journey and if the weather stays decent, I'll install the new fog lamp bulbs after "fishing out the broken bulb pieces from the left fog lamp housing.

Going to pick up the 13RT of the wife's today....was a funky exhaust cam sensor from removing them o safely remove the valve cover. 
I guess one needs to be "prepared" either way of valve cover removal on that firewall side has a lot of stuff there and little room. This I know as I did VC gaskets on the '14 last summer!
 
My back is much less pained today and will probably feel even better after my wallet gets "lightened" further from this repair bill!

I'm waiting for another customer of my friend's shop who has a set of 4 almost new tires for 19" DJ's that he is trying to sell .Both my friend and I talked to that person today and said we want to see them first BEFORE talking price. I did tell him I could get  NEW {as was posted to me on this thread}at $110. each. He is going to try and get them to my friend's shop ASAP.
