Spare tire
1 - 20 of 37 Posts
My Pacifica has the vacuum which is where the spare is normally stowed. So I ordered the OE spare tire kit. You can get it online for 300.00 delivered. My dealer got it for me for 304.00. The tire tucks very nicely into the seat well of the second row of seats. The jack and the vacuum hose extension fit as well. When I need to stow the second row of seats for a long trip I will place the spare in the back along with my other belongings. I wouldn't mind a rear exterior hatch mount for the spare like some SUV's have but we can't have everything.

Question....my Pacifica came with a vacuum and no air compressor kit. I pressed the dealer for the compressor and they gave me one out of another vehicle. Besides the emergency fuel funnel, was I supposed to get a scissors jack, lug wrench and tire sealant with the air compressor? Is their sealant TPMS friendly?
A 19mm socket fits a little better than 3/4" (on new lug nuts that have not been deformed by any impact guns). Anyone know what the wheel torque is supposed to be?

I ordered the vacuum option with my limited and received the emergency fuel funnel and air compressor plus a hold down strap for the air compressor. The tire sealant is actually inside my MOPAR air compressor box and there is a knob to switch over to sealant mode. I did not receive a scissors jack or lug wrench with the vehicle but they are part of the ~$300 spare tire kit I ordered the other day.
Torque is 100 Ft-Lbs (135 N-m)
19mm Socket (the metric lug nut is M12 x 1.5)

While surfing around I found a nice diagram (drawings are worth a thousand words) describing the procedure for squirting the goo in the tire, inflating, etc. but darned if I can find it again. It seemed to be specific for 2017 Pacifica but maybe it was general for that type of flat repair.
If someone knows of what I am referring and can send I link, I would like to print it and have on hand
thanks

Anyone with an alternative solution than buying the $300 kit? I have a jack and wrench that works (2010 Honda Civic/Lug 19mm). My logic is that some other FCA vehicle should fit the Pacifica. If so, then all I need is to pickup a spare out of a junkyard for one of those vehicles? I am just looking for something to through in the back or on the roof if I am on a long road trip.

It seems like nearly everything about the tires/wheels on these vehicles (lug size/pattern, offset, even tire size) matches the prior Pacifica. As long as the spare from one of those will properly clear the brakes, you should be good there. I have no idea whether it actually will clear or not, however.
Generally wheels from newer Caravan/Town & Country, Wrangler, Durango, and Grand Cherokee (and maybe another or 2 I'm forgetting.. Journey?) all have the same lug pattern but may have different offsets/overall size, etc.

The Pacifica's spare is fairly unique in that it is deflated to fit in a compact space. But if you don't care where you put it, I would think you could find a normal doughnut or even a full-size wheel from a junk yard that would fit.
Well, this is hard to explain.
I stopped by the Chrysler dealer to inquire about getting the spare tire kit for my vacuum equipped Pacifica. Many have suggested they fit nicely in the stow-N-go seat well. This accessory comes complete with collapsed spare tire on wheel, air compressor and scissor jack all neatly packed on a foam type package. The prices I have seen range generally from $300 to $350.
I ask the parts guy about just buying the tire and wheel as I already have an air compressor with the fix-a-flat that came with the car and a scissors jack is available for about $15.
ONe of the parts guy says we have one here. Brought it up and it was just what I wanted. Spare tire and wheel.
The problem is the price is $579. That's right, $250 more than the kit with compressor and jack.
Just verified the price by parts number at a MOPAR site.
He agreed it is hard to explain.
the part number for just the spare tire and wheel is 4726720-AA and the parts number for entire kit is 82214534-AB
I see the collapseable tire is listed on Tire Rack for about $154 and would have to get a wheel.
Anyone have a suggestion better than just buying the whole kit?

The kit actually does not come with the compressor. That part comes with the car.
I bet the price discrepancy has to do with whether it's classified as a Mopar "accessory" or an OEM replacement part. The kit is likely an accessory but the tire/wheel by itself is likely just for OEM replacement. Honestly, for $300 I'd just go with the kit. As a matter of fact, I did

Yeah, I was surprised also when my spare didn't come with the compressor after seeing those pics everywhere. I bought the spare before the Pacifica was delivered so I didn't realize it came with the van either at the time.

I have on order Limited and included the vacuum delete option. A flat tire stopping you from getting to a service station is a bigger deal (too me) than having a built-in vacuum. Vacuum will not get me home but a spare tire will. Yea roadside assistance is included but I am capable of changing a tire. Roadside is good for my wife who can change a tire but won't. She would call me first then roadside assistance.

You can get the vacuum and put a spare tire in a Stow-n-Go well for about $300. Best of both worlds.

That would be an incorrect assumption.

General, thanks, should have done a more thorough search here. However, looking more carefully didn't reveal a part number for the correct cover anyplace here. Anyone have it?
***EDIT***: Never mind, I found it in some parts websites.
5RK06PD2AC (Alloy) or 5RK06DX9AC (Black)
Note I have not verified these are correct personally, but they are on several websites.

In the end, that's why I bought a specific Pacifica inflatable tire on ebay. ($170 USD) I think it was a salvage. The pictures of 17" wheels show a scary minimal degree of clearance.
It did come with a pump (without sealant) though I won't need that pump when I get the van.
As for offset, I've seen some crazy looking offsets on spares driving around. Makes me wonder whether they were the proper ones for the vehicles that had them.

I just bit the bullet and ordered one from the dealer. I don't mind not having one around town but we are going on a road trip to New Orleans and figured it would be best to have one.
