DaveW Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 New to owning a 2009 SXT, do not know what this part is. Does someone know? It's located under the radiator and AC Condenser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Are you also loosing power steering fluid? That looks to me like the power steering oil cooler that I know later year Journey's have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveW Posted June 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Haven't lost power steering. Purchased a 2009 SXT and this part was hanging past the bottom bumper, had no fins on it, just the lines. They hit something because the plastic was cracked where this attaches to.

Sorry for asking a presuming question, the pic seemed a bit blurry to my ancient eyes is why I led off with a question. Dut I'm still pretty sure that that is the P/S cooler.

DaveW Posted June 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Yes pretty sure it's the part. I'll have to post a picture of what everything looks like on the car now. Maintenance wasn't ever done according to the person I purchased it from, other than oil changes, nothing else was ever done. Changing the timing belt among other things. The coolant that came out was diarrhea brown. Was in a very bad accident on June 1st when a lady sped up to blow a red light and totaled my truck. I'll post a picture of it. Had my vehicle for 13 years, now have to start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) YIKES about the CHEVY, but glad you're OK! Yes it sounds like you have a LOT to get "caught up" on with the Journey! Don't put off the timing belt, may be a tough job but NEEDS to be done! Good luck! Edited June 19, 2023 by 5rebel9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveW Posted June 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Thank you 5rebel9. The Journey has 142,000 (around there), doing the water pump, timing belt etc. I'll post another couple pictures of the support frame (not sure what it's called) and the plastic part that is cracked by the radiator fan. Need to know how to straighten the frame part out and either plastic soldier or epoxy bond the plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveW Posted June 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 This bolt snapped, can I just leave it like it is or do I have to extract the rest of it and replace the bolt. How important is this bolt for the cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
