Re: Selling my 2006 G56 PW *PRICE DROP*

Haha say what you want about Fords but man this thing is 1000X nicer than my PW was. Good lord! Feels like I'm riding around in a luxury car. It'll suit my future needs perfectly fine. If I want to go off-road, I'll just use my Honda Rancher. Don't care if l get it dirty or break something on it. We...

Re: Selling my 2006 G56 PW

You're timing is bad. I would be buying it myself if I didn't have the other projects in the works. I can say that this truck has been maintained and he keeps up with anything needed. Solid truck. Thanks for the compliments! Really trying to avoid trading it to a dealer because I know I will get ki...

Re: Selling my 2006 G56 PW

Thanks for the complements! I recommend going with all Carli stuff...in my experience Thuren's stuff isn't ready for prime time. Have had some nagging issues like premature tracbar bushing wear, poorly machined control arm joints, etc. All Carli is the way to go. And KEEP ALL THE STOCK PARTS! When y...

Re: Selling my 2006 G56 PW

Thanks. No bites on it so far...they're the standard Carli springs paired with Thuren's shackles on the 2nd pin position IIRC. I also have a pair of Thuren's coils up front which gives me about a 2" lift over a stock PW. Running 37x13.50 Toyo MT's on the stock wheels with no problems.

Re: Thinking about...

Don't feel too bad. I've been thinking of selling mine for a while now. I'm getting way tired of the gas mileage and quite frankly I don't have the time or opportunity to go offroad near as much as I used to. Plus, all of the little things are starting to break on the truck which is irritating. Crui...

Re: Centerforce Clutch Review

Clutch is still doing good. Towed 2200 miles round trip from NC to the FL Keys with a 4K pound boat. Clutch did excellent. Have also towed 12K about 20 miles. Overweight, but I had to get it moved for a friend. Clutch didn't slip then either, which surprised me. Heavy throttle and towing + 37" Toyo'...

Re: Been gone a while!

Welcome back Miles! You need to give us an update on that clutch (before I install the one I just bought). Clutch is still doing well! Towed 12,500 pounds last week with it :shock: . Had to move a Bobcat on a double axle trailer about 20 miles. I'm very thankful for my granny gear first gear and th...

Been gone a while!

Hey gang. Been logged off for quite some time. Super busy with school and other stuff. Haven't had time to do anything to my PW other than DD it for the last couple months. I'll be playing catch-up on here while I sift through all the recent posts.

Re: 2014 Power Wagon get's 6.4L Hemi

If the links don't eliminate the axle hop then there is a major design flaw. That 6.4 Hemi should be a nice addition as well. The dual alternator option is nice too.

Re: 2014 Power Wagon get's 6.4L Hemi

Really interested to see how the link/coil rear will articulate compared to the leaf spring PW's. And how well the front will flex with the radius arms.

Pretty much. Pissed I had to drop $600 on what I would have bet my left nut was a bad input shaft bearing and turns out its just "characteristics of a high performance clutch." Extremely irritated but it is what it is I guess. For anyone that's on the fence about installing this clutch...keep in min...

Re: Starting to hate my G56...

Well...here's a twist in my G56 saga. Picked up the truck this morning. Dealership couldn't find anything wrong with my release, pilot or input shaft bearings. All were smooth and in spec. They then moved on to the Centerforce clutch pressure plate itself and narrowed that down as being the culprit ...

Re: Starting to hate my G56...

How bad is your input bearing whine? Mine has whined since I have put this trans in (around 2yrs ago) and it hasn't failed on me yet. Mine is loud enough that I can hear it over the cut out (sitting idling), and if someone is outside the truck talking to me, I usually push the clutch in so we don't...

It is only money...glad I've been putting in 60 hour weeks! Transmission is out of the truck again. I'm also having them dump my Gorilla Juice while they have the truck and re-fill with ATF+4.
