update after putting the stant gas cap on, they said it would take a couple of days for the gas cap light to go off, i did take a small piece of  real fine emery paper and cleaned around the steel tank nozzle lip and then used a bit of silicone grease around the  o ring gasket early today and after a couple short trips the light has went off,,,glad for that 

That hurts to even try to read. 

Things are "heating up" all over the USA and R-134a a/c refrigerant is NOT getting any cheaper. How long have you had this car to notice now about the :cooling effect" of a/c thru the vents? An overcharged system will not cool AND an undercharged system will do the same. WHAT a/c maint has been performed? Also if you are not "mechanicallly inclined, the best bet is to get into a reputable shop that has an A/C specialty to check the system over.

Holy thread resurection Batman......

looks like the AC drain line. 

are you talking about the charger port not testing good or the flashlight itself not test good either way check for the fuse to see if its blown, and also check the flashlight bulb as well to see if its good or any power getting to it, if all else fails buy a replacement after all its over 12 yrs old , e bay or oem light replacement ,,,,,,or go to harbor freight and buy a led one that will be better this is the one i have and it is great also it rechargeable as well....

Yeah, my Lincoln has an internal water pump. Keep up with oil changes and coolant flushes and they usually last awhile. But when they go, whew. If you don't catch it soon enough, it's bye bye engine. 

Thanx for the comments.  I was planning on just keeping track myself,  but that comment about using one of the trip odometers is really good (I have two as well--a and B).

Welcome to the forum. Mileage is determined by driving style, conditions and cycles. This is explained in your owners manual. If you don't have an owners manual, you can download one for free. 

Have no idea,,,sounds like you need to find a different AC  repair shop    I hope you found the leak or whatever was your problem before getting more refrigerant put in
 

I had commented on your post on Facebook.

You got a pull from a scrap yard - and it was an ape who pulled it out.

I happened to have a nav/RB5 radio (though none of the rest) sitting on my shelf that I bought as a spare for when I had my Journey (I've moved on).  But because I had the spare my radio never gave me ay problems and it still sits there today.

In any case, you should return the garbage you got and get your money back.

Interesting article, but mainly the comments with actual application in real world. Good car site that just launched.

Here is a potential  plot for the next F&F movie sequel coming out. Should have just filmed this event,  might be more entertaining …and better acting. ?

Did you look at the sticker under the hood?

Here is end result, pretty happy  
MPG drop is about 15-20% I expected that.

Interesting, especially the comments section. Sometimes having the latest and greatest creates it’s own problems.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I had it in my head that the system was weak, but that makes me feel a little better as I do go a little off roading, nothing serious. I'm big on custom and different out of the box vehicles. Like if you want to go fast should bought a mustang, but in the year 2022 is there any way that a mustang can be custom? Like no body i feel like can have a unique one and that's what I'm trying to go for. Im lucky, no kids and fairly high paying job so little money to burn. I did pretty much all bolt on stuff for engine and wanted to lose a little weight and some other stuff before engine internals. I keep up on the maintenance, but do want to get better suspension, mine has a lot of the creaks and squeaks that plague a lot of journeys. So final conclusion is leave it alone until something breaks and I'm ok with that. Thanks again for the replies I really do appreciate it.

Why. It’s a simple  maint free part time system.  You cant  add any performance modifying it. It’s a balanced high speed turning driveshaft  assembly with sealed connections and a single hangar bearing. My wife’s  is still functioning at 225k kilometres or 140k miles and hasn’t been touched.  Very pricy to replace if it does go, oem is around $600 I believe.
 
My Jeep’s with double cardigan and ujoints, multiple grease fittings needed way more maint,  but they were designed for continuous use and had a lot more torque on them. 
 
The Journey system is simple and fairly reliable if you keep a close eye on the oil level in the ptu and rear diff systems. Run them out of oil from a lip seal leak and you have a very expensive repair.
