DO NOT DO IT! Literally, they are absolute JUNK! I had one, Mason had one, nothing but JUNK!
It's cheaper than the other at 11K
i wouldnt give 11 pennies for one
hell I wouldnt take one if someone paid me 11 pennies plus gave me the car.

oh boy...
yep
and you'll hate the electronically controlled clutch on the alternator, they have a service life of about 15,000 miles.....
That's what I'm looking at, '09 SRT4 Caliber in Deep Water Blue

Anybody ever work on a heater box in newer Mopar? Wifes 09 Journey has dual temp control for driver/passenger. There are separate controls LO -HI that operate doors inside. Only one heater core. Drivers side gets good heat, passenger does not. It does change temp from ice cold to luke warm, so the blend door is moving. Stuff I read talks about flushing the core, but not sure that makes any sense since its all one and it is heating one side. I did just flush the whole cooling system, but not the heater directly. Problem started before that. I'm thinking the door inside is not sealing at the end. I pulled the glove box and can see the thing move when I change temp. I'm thinking I might pull the actuator off and see if I can move the door by hand. I REALLY do not want to pull the dash. From what I have read its $1500+ for dealer to do it depending what parts they need internally can easily be over $2K 
Have lived with crappy AC in the Magnum last few years for same reason. That's a complete dash pull to do the evaporator which I believe has a slow leak.

oh - so you don't just want one - - you're going out of your way because you want a particular one...
Just that color
I had this problem in my Caliber. The doors are controlled by rods, or depending on the year, separate electronic solenoids, my caliber had the rods and one had gotten bent somehow and not fully opening or closing.Anybody ever work on a heater box in newer Mopar?

This has actuator motors. As said, I can see that move. I think it cycles all the way. Not seeing any obvious problem. So figured next step is take that off and try to move the door manually and feel for binding or whatever. Just figured if I get a better idea what is in there. Not finding any good pics online of internal parts.

we all need to remember that Chris believes there hasn't been a decent vehicle made since 1976...

fixed
I can see how it would be a good car for a college kid who wants a non-import, hatchback and fun to drive, good on gas.

He is right you know
Not true. Not even by a long shot.
Off the top of my head
the 78-79 Little Red Express
77-2002 Dodge Pickups
the early to mid 80s chevy trucks
the late 80s-mid 90s Cherrokees
Anything with a Cummins in it.
The late 80s Ford trucks
the 95-2001 Camaro, the late 90s Firebirds/TAs
The 3000GT, though a maintenance nightmare once it hit about 150,000 miles, was a good bang for buck performance car
the New challengers
actually no, I actually believe most stuff on the internet is FALSEfixed

There is a reason the newest car i own is a 75. Who needs a car payment when these wonders of the 60s and 70s still exist
