Geer

Here's the mopar site for tech literature:

I bought one from my dealership and installed it the second day of ownership. Seen them on Ebay but don't know if the quality is the same. The mopar piece is pricey but also of very good quality. Easy to install...only 2 screws...you remove the original with the hinged bracket and replace in kind. Just put some painters tape around the front edge of the quarter panel so you don't scratch your paint - removing is a bit tricky.
Haven't seen another Journey in Winnipeg with one...I like having it because it's easy to identify my own car from others. I added it plus the chrome mirror covers which I love, and also some R/T badges on the fenders to make it my own. Sets it apart from the pack...

Chrysler changed the documentation to correct the typo in owner's manuals (some apparently, because mine does say 2,500 lbs and in fact derates that for AWD). They didn't change the vehicle or the mechanicals - so there's no engineering reason to reduces the towing capacity.

I installed Mopar mirror caps and R/T fender emblems, as well as filler cap. Didn't have to add the handles since they come with the R/T standard.
My advice: take the double sided tape from the mirror kit and throw it in the garbage. It will stick for a month or two, then lose its tack and the mirror cap will come loose. I used 4 or 5 dabs of silicone RTV on the mirror housing - works much better and has a tenacious grip. Also allows water to drain out (and trust me, water will get in between the housing and the cap). Don't go crazy with the RTV or you'll never get the cap off should one need to be replaced.

3 weeks driving my '11 now. From day one noticed gear noise - sounds like 3rd gear but sometimes can hear it over two gear ranges, so it might not be a specific gear. Also I have AWD so it could even be the transfer case.
Its a high pitched whine, fairly subdued but noticeable nonetheless, that coincides with rpm. At first I thought it was radio interference from the ignition system, but its not. It also sounds like gear noise in a high mileage car, when coasting. But this is under throttle.
Anyone else notice or have dealt with this?

Figured I better do this before the car gets dirty...black is awesome but high maintenance for visual appeal. Pics are in my album "Geer's R/T" which I think is showing up at the top of the main board page for now. This is first day after delivery and I did not waste any time installing a few Mopar accessories- chrome mirror caps, fuel filler door, locking fuel cap, and R/T emblems on the front fenders (which is typical of R/T heritage...not sure why Chrysler isn't putting those call-outs on the sides). Nothing like chrome on black!
I love the 19" painted aluminum wheels, they are clean and modern looking and set the car off nicely. Very happy with the Journey - hope that sentiment continues!
