The '11 DJ rotors CAN be machined, unless they are worn down too thin. There's an actual measurement they have to go by. Maybe YOURS is too thin, but not all '11s. Another thing, what do they mean 1year?? Did u buy it used? I'd suggest calling Chrysler directly, they shouldn't be charging u for the rotors. These cars have weak brakes and they know it.

Atleast it's just a back ordered hitch. It's not like it's leaking fluid from the rear diff or anything.. LoL. (just busting your balls) But seriously, can't you cancel the order and try sourcing it somewhere else?

Idk... My '11 caravan had the rear brakes and rotors replaced @ 9.6k miles. I do believe, both the DJ & caravan use the same brakes. I've had multiple brake issues since I had an 08 caravan. I can feel the fronts starting to go too. Car is about 16 months old and 21k miles. I simply don't think they have fixed the weak brakes from 08. Luckily, my DJ is a VERY light use car (the wife has put 1,700 miles in 4 months). So I'm not worried about them.

That looks interesting. I like it. How does it affect the back sensors?

WORD!

Yeah, youre def right about that. Lots of "what ifs" on my mind. Like.. Do I loose the voice control Bluetooth? Sat radio? Climate control integration.. Specialy the 3rd row climate controls. What about the redundancy of the original cd slot on the car.. If it cost less, maybe I'd try.

The 4.3 uConnect, here, in the US doesn't have those problems that you, the freemont guys, are having. I think it's pretty fair to not mention problems that a completely different market is having. The 4.3 has its short comings, but overall, it's a good system, here, in it's home market. Not to belittle YOUR problems with it, but you can't condem the system as a whole. I would bet that Fiat and the freemont came onto the picture past thd R&D of the uConnect radio. Therefore, it's a Fiat problem, not a Chrysler one. The Ram 1500 is a very capable, and competitive truck, here in the US. What the entire article (mobile app) puts out, is that the changes are welcomed, including the addition of the uConnect radio. And I agree.

Yeah. In all other 08 and up dodge caravans, Charger, 300s and ect.. The nav is in 1 piece unit. It's called mygig. No secondary screen. http://bit.ly/Scab3k

They've been around for over 50 years. They just don't hate Chrysler products like you do.

New this year, a massive 8.4-inch touch-screen that’s tastefully integrated into the center stack replaces the dumpy brick-style head unit. The Uconnect system boasts attractive graphics, intuitive layouts, and quick responses. Best of all, the Garmin-based navigation that’s been integrated into other Chrysler cars has been tossed. -automobile mag on the 2013 Ram 1500.

I actually read, I think it was automobile mag, that uConnect nav was going away from Garmin. That Chrysler was using their own nav software. They were in fact talking about the 2013 Ram now using the current uConnect 8.4" radio. They did also say how improved that system was over the Garmin sys.

Yup. Havent "investigated" how fast or slow. I just know, it's usually off. I've noticed it to be as far as 5 minutes off. Oh well.. Oh btw, 2012 here too

Yeah. You want to search for a mygig. They come with or without nav. Quick swap. Try eBay or amazon l

You're right, it shouldn't. But just think.. If your key is running low on battery, and you just happen to throw it in the backseat inside a purse. You step out after shutting off the car. Now you're stuck outside...

The hitch mounted with the bikes. I'm looking to add a hitch, just for the bike carrier. I just want to make sure it'll look good. I have no other need for towing. If u can get the bike rack empty, that be nice

On this radio, no, you really can't. Like Big said, there's the steering wheel hardware for voice control, then there's the rear view mirror (microphone is mounted on there) Even if you got the micro phone, you need the wiring going from up there to thd radio which isn't up there. Then, the radio itself. Not sure if it's already built in, or if you need a head unit with it. At the very least, it would be starscan activated. Dealers don't even like/know how to activate/disactivate the daytime head lights. Keep looking though, there might be a kit available soon. There's a kit for the older mygig radios.

Picture please

No. The sounds isn't normal. The start up sound I guess is normal. Both the grand caravan and my journey does it. But the continued sound isn't in my journey or caravan. Both have the 3.6

What is different?

Seems like someone wants to destroy their journey. LoL Why not just buy a used sorts car? A 92-94 stealth would cost you what a motor swap would. Even less than what a new tranny would be. Cause that's far from warranty work. Lmao.

LMAO!! I like it. If they had compress everything in 1 page, it would loose the graphics. Besides, it isn't priority info. Should be used while parked only. My 11 grand caravan has the simple(er) EVIC. It's slow, the step button will sometimes not respond, and it's weak!! I'd trade it in for the journeys EVIC.

You're spoiled alright. Auto lock the doors?? That'll cause far more trouble than it solves.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking... Btw, what year?

Which noise? The one immediately at start up? Yeah, mine does that. After wards, sounds like belts rubbing. And no, mine doesn't do that. ('12 - 3.6)

That's quite a weak engine. I think that after the time, the labor, the parts.. The cost will be WAY more than if you had bought a journey with the pentastar. And even then, STR4 power isn't just a turbo install. There's A TON of added hardware to get those numbers. Not to discourage anyone already WITH the 2.4. But if you still haven't signed anything, get the v6 if you want power.
