Fox ARS Steering Damper

Hey Winch Mob,

I am thinking of upgrading my steering stabilizer and noticed Thuren has a Fox 2.0 ARS Steering Damper Available for $450.00. I am wondering if this is that much better than the King version they also offer? Anyone have any feedback?

Thanks

Re: Oil Pressure Related Check Engine Light

Hey Gang, With the help of Gar (AMSOil Rep and registry inmate) and the folks over at AMSOil I got this figured out. Here is the email from customer service: I'm guessing it is a RAM with the 5.7 or 6.4. The fix is much more simple the fix is a new oil filter. · Ram with 5.7L and 6.4L = 2013 to curr...

Oil Pressure Related Check Engine Light

I recently started getting a check engine light and the code thrown is P1524-Oil Pressure-Out of range camshaft adv/Retard Disabled. From what I understand from my mechanic there are many causes for this but here is a short list: Oil pressure/oil pump is failing, bad oil pressure sensor at the camsh...

Re: Sway and oscillation

What is your tire pressure PMJouster? I didn't think it was a possibility but after KevinABQ mentioned tire pressure I went from 35 to 50 PSI and it made a big difference. Hopefully it is something as simple as this, otherwise that sounds dangerous! Stay safe!

Re: Sway and oscillation

Update: Installed the front and rear Thuren trackbars and I have to say my truck drives better than it ever has. Drove today in 40 mph crosswind gusts and it handled great considering. Well worth the cost!

Hey Keven in ABQ, LOL, if you are in ABQ proper, I am 30 miles south of you and would love to chat about your suspension sometime.

Re: Sway and oscillation

My 2015 sounds like it is replicating your trucks issues (still have the stock shocks). I just got off the phone with Chris at Thuren Fabrication and he recommended track bars front and rear as well as shocks and front springs (I do not want to lift my truck and need the stiffer rear springs as I to...

Re: 2019 Ram power waggon is it worth to buy one?

To me it is very much worth having the PW. I have a 2015 in a Tradesman package and my average mileage (combined) hovers around 13.5-14.5 depending on how much I press the skinny pedal. If I take a road trip and stay below 75 I can get up to 17 MPG. All this with 35 inch BFG KO2s. You need to check ...

I own a 2015 and have driven it for about 3 years now. Great truck, not perfect but honestly the most capable vehicle I have ever owned besides my Jeep Rubicon. While hunting elk this year my long time hunting partner was shocked at all the places we were able to go without even putting it in 4wd. T...

Diff and Transfer Case Oil Recommendations

Hopefully this hasn't been posted somewhere else? I searched but couldn't find anything.

In previous trucks I like to use Royal Purple Full Synthetic in my differentials and transfer case but haven't gotten around to changing the fluids in my 2015. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

So this morning I was rolling for a bike ride and saw a Semi Truck stuck in an open field near my home.

Re: Fed up!!! (More dura trash)

I put on 35x12.5 BFGoodrich KO2s on my 2015 and I am very happy. No rubbing at full lock or when the sway bar is disconnected. They are really only 34" tall as per BFGoodrich's website. The KO2s are a little heavier than the stock tires and like Low Sky says I get a little worse mileage around town ...

It was amazing how much quieter it was immediately after installation as well as less vibration (could never get the Duratracs balanced). I had to air down my spare to get it in there and...

Re: New member from Montana

Beautiful truck! Funny but I came over to the PW after driving a 16 Tacoma as well. On the road with 35s I get just about the same gas mileage as in my Taco with 265s. Go figure! Love the wagon.
