  1. Hi all,

    Possibly a new owner of a 2011 Dodge Journey Crew here in Toronto, Canada. I wanted to inquire and see if anyone can confirm if the CREW model has a hard drive built in to the 8.4 touch screen model? If so, does anyone know the capacity? I believe the Crew pkg I looked at did not come with the Uconnect option if that helps anyone.

    I was told by the salesman about this, but couldn't really tell given we didn't explore the feature too much. I was then told that we could watch movies on this screen, only in park though. Can anyone confirm this that if I was to upload a video file, avi, mp4, or even a DVD, it will play?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, I have a 2011 r/t with no hard drive, Instead it has a sd card slot. I was under the understanding that they dumped the harddrive for the sd card slot.

  2. 150 Km drive from dealer was a pleasure!!!

    After reading EVERY post, watching EVERY youtube video, looking at EVERY internet picture...... IT'S IN MY DRIVEWAY!!!! Stayed up late installing bug deflector and sill protectors. Now i'm late for work because I slept in... gotta go...

    Congrats Perry, It does feel good when the wait is over Yes? Hope you love yours like we love ours.

  3. FINALLY, my car is moving again!!!

    Sat in Regina (5 hours away) since the 1st with a status of "unloaded from railcar"

    "departed facility" tonight...

    can't wait :yahoo:

    Good to see that yours is on the move. You are going to love it. Went and seen ours yesterday and to sign papers.

    Will be picking it up this afternoon,like you can't wait. will post pics, soon as I figure out how.

  4. Overhead cam engines have more oil in the top end than just a overhead valve engine does.Having said that valve stem seals are very important.

    This seals are pressed fit on the valve guide, if one or more are damaged or have popped off the guide, this can cause blue smoke at startup or idling,decelerating.

    In other words when the engine is producing high vacuum. Just a thought.

  5. Len,

    Sorry to rub it in, but my Journey is near it's final rail stop. As of the night of the 28th, it was 100 KM away and hasn't updated since. I look at your status once in a while and am sure that if it was mine I would go insane!!! :banghead:

    It would sure be nice to find out exactly what is going on!!!

    Perry

    Yes Perry, my sanity is in question. Checked with the dealer and they no more than I do.doh.gif

  6. Hi Perry;

    Just wondering how you are making out with your r/t? I'm still on a railcar in toluca, For 3 weeks now.rant.gif and how about anyone else, Are you in the same boat(or should i say

    train) as me?

  7. I just checked my tracking again, I started with dealer delivery of june 2nd then 3nd then 6th then 8th then 10th and now 13th.................................Lucky me.!!!!!!!!!!!shrug.gif

    Did my railcar get lost behind some bushes or something?tumbleweed.gif

  8. Hey Len,

    Have you checked your tracking lately? It says in bay at facility???? That is strange, yesterday it was moving and now it's not!!!

    Mine was interchanged at Laredo today.

    I'm sure glad that the insight tracking is working again, except I may wear out my computer I've been checking so often!!

    Perry

    I don't know what is going on, somebody put the train in reverse. hope they did'nt get into sometequila.gif

  9. Yep..... I checked this afternoon, but got busy at work before I had a chance to post..

    as of 2:32 ET we are

    On Railcar - Ing Buchanan Lopez, GJ

    Wherever THAT is!!!????

    Mine said LA pilo, SL/ :headscratch:

  10. Has anyone tried tracking a vehicle lately?

    The favorite that I had created using mainmangos link with my vin quit working tonight.

    You don't have permission to access /inl_dealer/INLRouter.jas on this server.

    ??????

    Are we not paying the delivery costs? Why can't we watch the tracking :headscratch:

  11. WoooooHooooo.... Our cars were built and are at the facility waiting for a train!!!!

    The planets MAY be on our side!!!! happy%20feet.gif

    Oh ya, lets keep this streak rolling (pardon the pun) to the finish line. :banvictory:

  12. Hi,

    We live in Montreal (Canada) and we've ordered a Journey R/T (red, nav and UConnect) mid-april. The dealer told us today that he still cannot enter the order into their system. Does anyone have the same issue ?

    Thanks in advance for any response or advice.

    Hi and welcome,

    It's not that you can't order an r/t but you may not order it in red,black,or blackberry because of a shortage out of japan. go to the dodge canada website to see what colors

    are available,so that maybe the reason.

    I ordered my black r/t march 29th and two days later the dealer got a memo from dodge saying no more ordering in black,blackberry,or red. So check out the website.

    Good luck cheers Len

  13. Well Len,

    The train is leavin on the 12th and we are still not built!!!

    Doesnt look like the planets aligned!!:rant2:

    Perry

    I hear ya Perry,

    maybe there is still time,does anybody know how long it takes once on the line?

  14. 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!

    cheers, drive safe.

  16. Thanks everyone for the info,looks like sackguy and I are on the same page or should I say train, lets keep our fingers crossed, maybe our planets will lineup and we will get our r/t's on time...........yeah right. lol.

    Thanks for the reply, My vin# is 3d4ph6fg9bt551003. when I talked to the dealer tyey said it will be built the second week in may, I don't know if it is too early

    to get any info, but I guess we could try

    thanks len

  18. just got back from the dealer on my order of my 2011 r/t black on black march 29th,they are telling me that my order is in status D,

    which means they have all the parts to fill my order, but sounds like I just made it by the skin of my teeth, shortages are becoming a problem.

    for those who have orders, lets keep our fingers crossed.

    good luck, cheers Len
