Re: Shock feedback sticky?

I do believe there is only one model Overland Shock. http://www.straptperformance.com/THUREN-OVERLAND-SHOCK-SET-FRONT-AND-REAR-p/thn-olsp.htm I did speak with Don about the ones above and he said they would work great with my stock 2005 Power Wagon :rockon: That's odd, when I asked him about them f...

Re: Honest No BS Opinions Wanted

From Starwood's website: IMPERVIOUS TO SCRATHES & CHIPS If they can't spell "scratches" then I don't think I would trust them with an expensive truck. I agree with Double D :lol: A friend opened up a local 4x4 shop and during the open house a guy showed up with his JK done entirely in white.....hur...

Re: F'n electronic nanny strikes on trail

Anybody (olyelr) know if this is similar to the purple wire mod on the JKs? Olyelr has a write up on JK Forum. Have to assume somebody smarter than me, which isn't saying much, has a way to bypass this?

Re: Anyone using the Solid 9.25AAM Cover?

Pics of the clearance issues? I posted a few pics in this thread: http://forum.powerwagonregistry.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2764 . The first pic shows how much I trimmed off the u-bolt. No bueno. Second attempt I trimmed the bolt pretty much flush with the nut (maybe a hair inside), but as luck would ...

Re: Anyone using the Solid 9.25AAM Cover?

Just poking around and hadn't seen this front axle option yet. Looks like no capacity increase and not sure if plugs are magnetic. But it looks solid (albeit heavy) and is inexpensive. I remember a couple posts talking about clearance while flexing. Not sure if this one would pass muster. http://ww...

Re: Purple Cranium diff guard first impression

There is no possible way my stabilizer would even come near it. Good to know, thanks for checking. Just to be clear, you were referring to the stabilizer bracket? My stabilizer is on the passenger side. It is mounted in the center and strokes out toward the passenger side. No possible way for the s...

Re: Purple Cranium diff guard first impression

Yeah, it's hard to tell from just looking at them, but they seem to sit low enough that there won't be any contact. Thanks for taking a look. If the Thuren bracket doesn't work, guess I'll switch back to the stock cover and try the Purple Cranium one.....should have done that in the first place, but...

Re: Purple Cranium diff guard first impression

Any indication that your steering stabilizer will make contact at full left turn lock? Trimmed by bracket as much as I could and it still makes contact with my Solid cover. Just got the Thuren bracket, hope that fixes my issue. Unfortunately I won't know until my back gets better so I can install it.

Re: Exhaust ticking under load.

I have a 2013 and the same issue. First noticed it around 3k miles. After being repeatedly told by the dealership "it's normal" (BS!) I took it to a local exhaust shop to have them take a look and see what they could do. As soon as the guy cranked it up he goes "That's not normal". He put a scope on...

Re: New diff covers on the way for the Power Wagon!!

Thanks guys. I'll trim the bolt some more and see what happens. Over time I'm sure the bolt would just groove the cover, but I'm not digging that clunk it makes, and not sure if it would cause any other issues? Suppose I'll contact Don as well :cash:

Re: New diff covers on the way for the Power Wagon!!

Thanks for that suggestion....was hoping for something a little less expensive :shock: :lol: That might be a viable option later down the road though, assuming it will work on a '13 PW? Thanks again. Adam

Wish I would have done a little more homework on the Solid cover. For those of you thinking about getting...

Ah, FML.....apparently it is "normal". Didn't have a good feeling going in after reading the massive thread over on DodgeTalk.

Re: New PW owner - question for you

Taking it to a different dealer tomorrow to see if I get the same response. Sure hope it's not "normal". The noise alone is almost making me regret the purchase. Thanks for all the replies! If I get any info other than "it's normal" I'll post back.

Hello all, I recently picked up a 2013 PW. LOVE the truck, can't wait to start throwing money at it :rockon: The truck has almost 900 miles on it.
