I think that qualifies me for a substantial discount on the beta release.

Good idea!

Sorry OP for hijacking this thread, I’ll start another one soon.

Would there be any benefit using elevator bolts instead of carriage bolts?

Standalone, electric sway bar disconnect with the flip of a switch. Currently testing the prototype on my truck. It will work on any SmartBar, PW or Jeep. Does not use the factory switch, OEM module will have to be secured to the frame, crossmember or engine compartment to retain locker function an...

Hey man you still need a smart bar?

No, RustyPW is sending me his old one. Thanks for checking though!

Manual huh BLM? Is a interface module just to complex an ask given the programming and hardware requirements? I'm assuming it is, otherwise the jeep aftermarket would have addressed it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but no one offers a bypass module to let the disco work on demand?

Nope.... but maybe retiredblmrig is being hush hush about attempting such a feat?!

Could always go the manual route or the air actuated route.

Shhh...

A replacement Final Drive Control Module is now available separate from the rest of the sway bar. This one says it's for 2006-2012. Pt.#68044412AA.

Now you can use the compact car parking spaces.

Well it happened again, PWR set another record today! 257


I guess all the planets in cyberspace must have aligned.

Welcome to all the newbies!

We're rockin and rollin here in California! I felt the 7.1 at my house tonight and I'm at least 200 miles away.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Ridgecrest... that's where I bought my BLM rig.

I updated the pictures in the first post. I was able to get my hands on a complete fusebox so I could fine tune all the wire lengths to make it fit right where I want it. Also, the generic toggle switch is a little less generic, I'm now including an aircraft style toggle switch safety cover as well ...

Welcome to PWR! That looks like a mighty fine rig!

Unit sales in June made this donation possible. Thank you gentlemen! Lets keep PWR ad-free.

Replied to your PM.

I would start with the master cylinder. Look for contaminated fluid, like if somebody accidentally put in the wrong kind of fluid. It will cause the rubber seals to swell resulting in slow release and eventually no release. If it is contaminated fluid, you're going to want to super-flush the system ...

Doing a voltage drop test on both the power and ground side should isolate the problem for you.

Thanks for the welcome. BTW, My Power Wagon collection range from 1946 to 2005,the first year of the "new" power wagon. I also have military Dodges, the forerunner to the power wagons.

Welcome to the forum!

Check all your grounds. A corrupt ground path can mask true system voltage resulting in a overcharge condition. A voltage drop test will isolate where the bad connection is.

A 2011 in Palm Springs, CA with 65K on the clock and it looks like it's going to need a cam and lifters or maybe just a broken valve spring.

Great news, remember the dealer has to program the new smartbar into the trucks computer before it will work. No they don't. I installed the smartbar and plugged it in. Everything works great. In fact, my lockers lock quicker now. :rockon: The dealer never seen it. :rockon: Glad you didn't have to ...

You still want a SmartBar to play with?

Yes I’m still interested, PM me when you decide on a price and shipping to 92673.

Just in time for Rausch Creek!

What kind of trouble were you having that needed a new smart bar to fix?

Here's the original thread: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=5986

I like the concept of the Element, but after watching the videos, my only concern is how close you have to be to the fire for it to be effective (since there's no pressurized propellant). I guess as long as you catch it early and small, it wouldn't be too big of a deal. I'll probably pick one up to ...
