Power Wagon Registry

Today I got the IC-7000 wired up with the voltage booster, tuner and control head. A few days ago, I decided to move the mics form one side of the console to the other Here is how the setup looks today: https://beta-static.photobucket.com/images/w69/alisoa4/1/5dc2ca53-84e2-47bd-85b7-764a0e659300-ori...

Made some progress today:



Still need to connect the good 'ol IC-7000's control head and HF antenna, but at least I now have FM & DMR on VHF and UHF

Who do you want to chat with, and what do they have? (Go with that.)

-Probably the single best / most important question to ask. -Especially if you ever want to be able to use a radio for emergency comms.

Hi everyone, Ever since I got my '16 wagon, I have used 2 radios, an Icon IC-7000 for HF, VHF and UHF, and a Motorola XPR 5550 for FM & DMR on UHF. Well, recently, I decided that the way I had the radios installed ( both control heads remote mounted upfront, radios tucked away under the back seat) w...

Good call..... found a few videos. I think I'm going to live without the 2 outlets (12 volts and USB Data). Too complicated.

Hi guys, I'm working on a project to remove the stock center console and replace it with a Troy Products console to hold 3 radios. So far, I've managed to un-bolt the center seat / console / arm rest. I'd love to be able to relocate and re-use the USB and power outlets found in the center console. ...

You basically have to be doing something ultra stupid to get abs to engage on dry pavement in a newer ram truck. It’s not something that’s easy or safe to accomplish really. There’s so much computer manipulation going on to optimize braking performance that it’s difficult to get the truck out of it...

With literally every other vehicle I have ever owned, I have been able to trigger ABS on dry pavement. It’s something I like to test (under safe conditions of course) to get a sense of where the limits of grip are. With my power wagon I can’t trigger ABS. Given that other 4th gen owners have said, m...

That’s the thing. My truck refuses to engage ABS on dry pavement

Got the truck back from the shop. Sounds like they didn't do much except run a code scanner and do a visual inspection. They couldn't tell me whether the truck is supposed to be able to trigger ABS on normal dry surface streets.

FWIW, my ‘16 is unable to trigger ABS on regular surface streets. Doesn’t matter how hard I stomp the pedal. I have about 24000 miles on mine. This is with stock wheels and brand new stock tires. I just dropped the truck off at the shop to have them go over the brakes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapa...

I have only experienced it when in 4 low.

My ‘16 acted this very way when I was wheeling it in Moab.

Do not know if this is best place to post this but any experience and help would be appreciated. I am looking at a Magellan off road GPS the 7" screen right now I have paper maps and Garmin that still uses GPS not phone signal. Garmin says I can down loads for Backcountry but it is a small screen a...

Cool to see others who help out rally racing. I occasionally help out 2 races out here in California (Gorman Rally and High Desert Trails) A few years back I had a similar experience, but with a cow on the stage right as the car was about to start. Went something like this: Me: "Comm captain, block ...

Nice!!

Field day can be fun

I'm curious if anyone has used more "structured" purchasing processes such as Costco for their PW's? -Given the relative ease by which the PW's are negotiated down things like Costco don't make sense for PW's? I used Costco for another vehicle recently and thought the process was super stress-free a...

Wow, what an ordeal!

I wish I could offer some real advice, but all I can offer is sympathy. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

my 12v cigarette lighter plug is also dead. fuse is good. 2017 pw.

Which fuse did you check?

What do you have the fuse tap for? I use it to drive a relay, which in turn controls the circuit which powers all my accessories in the tool box (HAM radio battery charging and charge controller, voltage booster, tuner, etc etc etc, air compressor). I wanted that circuit to be ignition switched, so...

So, I finally got this figured out. Turns out that the fuse tap *MUST* have fuses in both sockets. One is for the original circuit, and one for the new circuit. Simple as that. In hindsight, this is slapping-my-forehead simple, oh well. Live and learn :) The shop wanted 240 dollars to fix this. I po...

I've decided to not wheel the PW *that* much, so I don't need them any longer. Instead, I went and got an old Jeep which I trailer to wherever I go off-roading / rock crawling (just made the yearly pilgrimage to Moab this way), so I also didn't want to be limited on trailer towing due to less payloa...

Hi, I'm selling my used White Knuckle Off Road rock sliders. Sorry, I won't ship. If you want them , you will have to come get them in southern Orange County. I bought these unpainted and rattle canned them. They have a bit of rust and as the pictures show, they have been "tested". I have all the mo...
