Locosiete

Mine had an issue where the light in glove box wasn't turning off. Glued a quarter to the door to add a hair more to push in plunger and that helped turn off the light. Used my phone camera to record a video, placed in glove box and let it record a video for a couple minutes. Checked video and sure enough light stayed on even though dash and everything else was off

That's not true, in 2 years they ask another question 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😄

I would definitely start with battery connections and then the battery. A bad ground connection will create allot of gremlins. And with the push ignition it will seem like it has power but it really doesn't enough. If you have a multi meter see how many volts it has.

Ya definitely don't miss the snow or ice. I can deal with 2 weeks of winter allot easier then 5-6 months like the NW

For fun looked and couldn't find allot if info on it but found one listed for sale and it said it was a diesel engine so curious if that was standard or came with other engines

My battery took a crap and would sometimes hold power long enough to start for a week and sometimes for a couple hours. So to be safe I bought a small lithium jump booster and kept it in the glove box. Came in pretty handy and cost about $50. Holds a charge pretty long and a good security for a dead battery. Might be worth considering keeping one with him in case something like that happens again. Changing the battery fixed the problem but either way took some time to confirm if it was battery, parasitic drain or what

Maybe that is where the name Journey came from. Journey's to the gas station 😆 🤣 😂

Came across this and thought it would share. This is the grandfather of what we refer to as our Dodge Journey. This is Dodge Journey Sr 😆 🤣 😂 It's a 1978 Dodge Journey. I know they were made prior to that but this one is a 1978.

At first I thought it was a serpentine belt and was like where the heck is that. Then I realized it was the gas pedal 😆 🤣 😂

As mentioned above it's the ac drain. By default the ac will engage on defrost settings to ensure the AC stays lubricanted. Especially since in northern states were it would only be used 1/3 of the year the seals would dry out and leak if not ran for 6+ months at a time

Don't think my wife will let me buy 2 more and modify them. As it is I'm not allowed to buy any more cars. 😆 🤣 😂 4 is my current limit

My 2013 is still under 90k miles. Since 2020 working from home I rarely drive it. Plus it's a toy now, not really practical for anything other then cruising now. Never thought I'd say that about my journey 😆 🤣 😂

Ya I've been around just working and relaxing. Nothing new with cars. Just enjoying them for now.

When we decided to move to Texas now almost 2 years ago I said my ONLY requirement is a 2 car garage, doesn't have to be huge but big enough I can park the caddy and 1 other. The caddy is 18.5 feet so needless to say it fits snug in my garage. Not allotment of room for error when parking it. That said the garage is mine so the dodge and caddy park inside the garage. Luckily the wife agrees since have too much invested in them.

Not saying you should but.... 20" tires are usually easier and cheaper compared to 19" tires. At least what from what I have found. Might be a good way to get the misses on-board with some new wheels lol

Some are canbus compatible. Dodge uses a canbus system that's why they Flicker. Adding an adapter like that will fix it

The canbus system is the problem. You have to add an adapter to prevent that. It runs in-line otherwise you have to buy ones that are for a canbus system Something like this

Progress is coming along. Unfortunately only got to go around the block a few times on those wheels after getting them back from power coating. They were older wheel and spokes were loose. I was hoping I could use them for the summer but they were so loose it felt real sketchy at 30 mph and didn't want to find what it was like on the highway. So replaced with a new set of wheels. Should have done that from the beginning but was trying not to spend money which cost me more in the long run.

Yes nobody puts baby in the corner

It's funny how during winter months 45°f feels so good by comparison. Unless your in Texas. Then they act like it's a blizzard lol. Had more the one person look at me like I had a horn growing from my forehead cause I was wearing shorts and t-shirt when it was mid 40s

Backside looks like only half the pad is making contact. I don't know if that is normal but if it is that is a huge waste of unused contact patch. Also not sure if it's the lighting or dust but looks like some stress cracks.

My 2013 has just over 80k and brakes look great. However the rotors are a another story. Slightly warped and grooved. Nothing to warrant a replacement but it's there and felt under heavy braking

Most common mistake people do is start with the worst case scenario. Start small then work up frim there. Otherwise you'll end up replacing the engine each time the air filter gets clogged. The smallest things sometimes cause the biggest problems.

I'd also recommend checking the clamps first. Sometimes just a half turn is all you need to do to seal it up. Not saying tighten that bad boy until a vain pops cause that can create leaks too. Otherwise worst case if the leak is not bad wait until a warmer day that is not in the negative temperatures. Just make sure to keep an eye on your coolant level and keeps some rags and plastic bags in case it worsen.

Yes plan on covering it just not certain how. Thinking of something like a door card on an order vehicle. Hmmm.... But that is further down my list, right now I want to jump into the caddy and start redoing that air ride system.
