I was told that they canceled the 8.4 because of supply problem that go back to the earth quake in Japan, I have a friend who works for chrysler at the brampton Ontario assembly plant where the build the Charger, Challenger, and 300 and they're having the same issues.

I took note of the fleet spec for towing with the two engine offerings. 2.4 is limited to 1000 lbs and 3.6 at 2500. Considerably less than previous models.
The tow rating for the 3.6 is 3500 not 2500. I know this because I talked to many people from different dealers about this and also I went and talked to a guy who works for a RV dealer in London Ontario who knows a lot about the new 3.6 from Chrysler.

The answer is, whenever you feel like it. If you're at a stop, it will be in 1st gear when you pop over to autostick. If you're say, driving at highway speed, it will be in 6th when you pop into autostick. There are safeguards in place to keep you from doing anything that would harm the engine - for example, it won't let you keep slapping it down to 1st gear at highway speed.
I've found it useful on the highway when I want to pass. It's easier to manually kick the transmission down to 4th than standing on the gas pedal and waiting for the tranny to figure out what I'm trying to do. I also found it useful when climbing steeper hills. It's just like an older style automatic where you had "D, 3, 2, 1" - you could drop it down whenever you needed it. Autostick is just more fancy.
Thank you very much. :-)

I've never driven a car with autostick before and I want to know if I can engage autostick mode when the car is moving at highway speeds or if I need to be parked to start in that mode. Thanks

I own a 2011 R/T AWD Journey, with the trailer prep. When I bought it I wasn't really aware that there was different connectors for towing, so I didn't bother checking that out.
Now I'd like to tow a travel trailer (about 3200lbs) that requires a 7 Pin connector.
I know there is some 4Pin to 7Pin converter on the market, but you still have to plug the remaining 3 pins. As I understand it; 1 is for brakes, 1 for the battery and 1 for the ground.
- The battery connection is probably easy since there is a 12 volt connector on the back
- Ground connection is (probably) the frame of the car
- Now for the brakes is there an easy way to connect it at the back?
Anyone already did that or have more info?
Thanks
What I would do about the brake controller and and 12v battery supply is avoid all the headaches and pay your local hitch dealer to install the wiring. It wont't likely cost that much but you will know it's done properly.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone on here has the same problem I have with my white leather seats. I own a 2011 Dodge Journey R/T with white leather seats, I love them but they have blue dye from jeans on them and I've try a number of leather cleaners to remove the dye but so far nothing has worked. Does anyone out there have an any idea how I can get them clean?? Please help!! Thank you!
