click on forums then go down to interior and found this post on this video.............

By the way Welcome to the group

also you may have a water leak coming into the journey from the front body seams, this was discussed in the forum a while ago, is it leaking from the seals on BOTH sides?

just an update , the ABS unit is still on backorder at the dealership, But around 3-4 weeks ago all three lights are staying off ( abs, and brake and traction control) quit coming on and the cruise is working again, I have been waiting on my stepson to bring his scanner over to see if the code (c2200-49) is stilled stored,doing the ign check just shows everything is okay..oh well will update again after he scans it and see if anything stored in the computer. oh well just another day in a dodge journey owners life....LOL

I was just watching this video on a different vehicle but half way ( at 13;41 mark) thur he shows replacing the pulleys and they are to tight to get the belt on and he shows removing the bearing and threading the belt onto all the pulleys and then installing the last new pulley..... might need to try this to see if it works for you....................

i would take both belts to wherever you bought them and compare it with another NEW belt,something sounds wrong as the old belt should NOT be stretched that much over what a new one is

if you bought from a local part store they should have a diagram or be able to tell you which goes where ....or just goole the part number and i am sure that will show where it goes

welcome to the group, also check out the forum on lowering it has been discussed with pictures as well

hard to tell over the internet, but if you can get it going then it drives fine, sounds more like engine problems as well as mentioned above replace your plugs,before doing anything else .

as he said search the forum it has been done and discussed here quite a bit for thoes interested in it

that bolt could have been a bit longer, hopefully the rust will bond it on there....LOL

if you used you oil dip stick it should bottom out as it cant be put in to far,if your not sure if you marked the dip dtick right them you can buy a test stick from a part store............

lol I was ready just to put a piece of black tape over the light BUT the wife didnt like that idea i told her hell i am 70 yrs old and drove cars for 40 yrs without all this fancy crap that is always messing up but as usual she won the argument and it only cost me around $ 300 to get some peace and quiet LOL

after they did mine ( all 4 of them) they hooked up a different scanner and said they reset them all, but for around 2-3 days after they did that sometimes the light would still come on and then after that they light went off and stayed off i tried to unhook the module in the rear left upper wheel well but it didnt want to come undone for me so i left it and as i said then the light went off and no more problems,,,,,they did tell me that it was best to replace all 4 of the tpms as he said if you just replace the bad ones then sometimes it messes with the computers logic on the psi, dont know if that was true but decided to replace all 4 instead of just the bad ones....

if you mark your dip stick like in the video OR go by a test dip stick that the part stores sell for our journeys when you add the fluid you go by the dip stick,,,i marked mine before i had the dealership change it and it came out right in the middle where it should be......and NO you will never remove the same amount of fluid every time, you could catch it all in a pan then measure it minus what you cant get out off the pan, and always use the correct trans fluid,not sure of what you are asking about cheap trans fluid if it is the correct type....as i said before fix your eng mounts BEFORE you mess with the trans just to see if it helps but you are coming due for the trans service.... JUST wondering have you had the journey checked for any set codes that might be in the memory? also why not have the trans looked at by your after market warranty for any info they may give you as well

you can google it off youtube as to see how to mark your oil dipstick ( i did that myself ,so i could always be able to check it), as far as changing your trans fluid and replacing the filter that is up to you weather you feel you can do it yourself...i myself i just let the dealership do it ,yes more expensive but i also have the mopar warranty and just wanted it on the record that they had done it

i would have the eng mounts changed as well as having the trans fluid changed BUT after i did the mounts ,just so you could see which one might have helped the problem

YES definitely go to a muffler shop, simple repair they will just cut or use a cutting torch to remove the nut on the other side of the flange and then do their fix and re-bolt it back together probally with a gasket in between the flange,,shouldn't be to much

wouldn't think so, to bad bad you cant go back to the oem one as it was a better set-up as it rec the air from the front grill like a cold ram air air set up , now your set up doesnty get the clod air only the air from around the inside of the engine compartment

could be some corrosion under the TPIM, check that first before unloading the parts cannon

he never reported back on what happened, that is SO important on blogs so it can help others

so i take it you have a K-N filter is it possible you re-oiled it to much? i would probally clean everything down stream of the filter and as you mentioned the throttle body being dirty or going bad....how many miles /km on the engine.........my daughter had the 2.4 in her jeep patriot that she used on her post office route and she sold it with 130k of route miles on it.other than plugs air filters and batteries no engine problems, now wheel bearings and a few other things not so great...LOL but the engine always ran great

actually the ngk are the org oem plugs, dont use the iridiums ones, use the cheaper copper core ones as the are the best suited for the 2.4 eng good luck and report back on your problem

as mentioned above do the plugs with oem brand ,the plugs are cheap around 15 -20 for all 4 of them, also i would run a couple of cans of Techron Fuel Injector Cleaner thur the system as well, also make sure the air cleaner is fairly new as well,,,
