so many different fixes BUT without being able to have it checked out we are just guessing,,that said if it was running okay till you replaced the oil cooler??? I am assuming its a 3.6 engine,,,,what is the age and condition of the underside frame, is it rust free, I would assume you have a wiring problems so check all the body grounds for loose or corrosion connections and also check all your connectors to make sure you have good connection also check for broken wires,,,check the fuse block for green crusties under it as well,as mentioned have the battery LOAD CHECKED to see if its in good shape,good luck pull the battery and clean the post after load checking it as well the Journeys enjoy a strong electrical connection and weak batteries make them go ape shit with all sorts of problems

weird that all 4 doors are doing this,,,as I worked in a dodge van plant, the doors go down different lines Left and Right so the insides guides and glass get put in and then the panels installed it wouldn't be due to supplier panels I would think,,,,just weird as yours is the first I have heard of doing this

LED Headlights_First Try Fail
2late4u replied to Summer Solstice's topic in Glass, Lighting, Mirrors, Sun Roofs & Wipers
I have been told not to use led in the hi-beam as that is where your DLR are and your hi beams will stay on all the time,,I just run the led in low beam and reg bulbs in the high beam and haven't had any problems except I have had to replace them 2 times so far but it is a 2014 model -

you can add some anti/flicker resistors to your lights to stop the flicker or buy led bulbs that have it built into them for your canbus system -
I am at that point ,that the tires are not toast yet but going into winter time which means 1-3 snows here in Alabama they are reading still in the green but almost in the yellow on my gage and keeping an eye out for a good sale on tires ,damn these 19 inch tires are expensive and of course when I get them an alignment is next on that list,,,no problems there, but if getting new tires better safe than sorry

easy to google here is what I found,,,,,,,,,,,,Here are the most effective ways to fix a P0420 catalytic converter efficiency code: Clean the Catalytic Converter Try using a catalytic converter cleaner or fuel additive to remove carbon buildup that can affect the catalytic converter’s performance. Do a Proper Diagnosis Before replacing any parts, perform a thorough diagnosis to identify the exact cause of the P0420 code. You will find everything you need to know in this article Replace the Catalytic Converter If the diagnosis confirms the converter is worn out or clogged, replacement may be necessary. Replace the Front or Rear Oxygen Sensor (O2 Sensor) Faulty O2 sensors often cause incorrect readings, triggering the P0420 code. Repair Damaged Sensor Wiring Check and repair any broken, corroded, or shorted wires connected to the oxygen sensors. Replace Damaged Engine Sensors Faulty sensors such as the MAF (Mass Air Flow) or MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor can cause incorrect fuel-air mixtures that lead to P0420. Fix High Oil Consumption Burning oil can contaminate the catalytic converter and reduce its efficiency. Repair Engine Misfires Misfires send unburned fuel into the exhaust, which can damage the catalytic converter. Correct Lean or Rich Fuel Mixtures An incorrect air-fuel ratio can cause incomplete combustion, leading to the P0420 error. Replace the Engine Control Unit (ECU) (Rare) In rare cases, a faulty ECU can misread sensor data, triggering a false P0420 code.

I have not really driven an AWD in snow but I have never had any problems anywhere I wanted to go with my fwd vehicles in any amount of ice or snow

Guess I need to check and see what book they use or what level ..probally NOT private resell price more like trade in value or something like that, we live in a small town and the wife is going down hill with her health she doesn't even want to go on any more gambling trips to Biloxi so I guess that tells me a lot on her health as she was always ready to go at a moments notice,,,going to the Drs or getting her hair done is about the most exciting thing these days

So I was asked by my ins agent did I want to drop full coverage in an attempt to lower my premiums, I immediately said no right away but it did get me thinking at what point it might make sense.... so I have a silver 2014 crossroad 3.6 great shape no damaged body parts 176 k on the clock and I do have the lifetime warranty as well of course that wouldn't transfer to anyone else...was wondering how ins companies would treat me with a payout or replacement in case of it being totaled do they go by replacement value or kbb value? guess I'll start checking into this but it seems like replacing it would still be worth quite a bit....

Troubleshooting - What am I missing? Still Warm driver / cold passenger
2late4u replied to nmsuman's topic in Climate Control
also just be aware that the heater core on journeys are a 2 zone so 1 zone for the drivers side and 1 zone for the passenger so that is how you can get warm on one side but cold on the other side,,check out the YouTube video on how to do a short cut on replacing the heater core.... either do a flush and then wonder if you will get a leak from the heater core or just go ahead and replace it...your choice I assume,,,also you never did say which engine you have???????????????- 7 replies

Troubleshooting - What am I missing? Still Warm driver / cold passenger
2late4u replied to nmsuman's topic in Climate Control
lets see,,,,,, 2012,,,,,,, when was the last time you or the journey had a coolant change, have it checked and as mentioned above do the flush esp for the heater core after all its only 13 yrs old....plugged up or restricted heater core is about the only thing that would cause your problem....... what is the temp running on the journey and what engine running at and what is the mileage as well?????????- 7 replies

sometimes the clips can be slightly different from each other so that might have been the case for your problems with the pads being to tight...one thing Tom do when you follow YouTube is to watch about 10 of them because remember YouTube is filled with a lot of shade tree mechanics that either do it right or wrong or don't know what all they are doing ,,,that said YouTube is a good way to get a view of what to do and each one can give you good info on what to do ,,,that is what I always do ...also when ever you get ready to do your rear pads remember that the caliper TWIST in and NOT pushes in as the fronts do,,,, take care and sounds like the brakes are working properly since they are working okay...
