I'm having a new 7' game fence put in to keep the deer out and the dogs in. Using the PW to pull old fence posts and tree stumps.

I was just thinking the other day, "Where's Waldo?"

Sounds like a poor design. Is there anyway to dimple the metal to recess bolts? Could you use elevator bolts instead?

The first of the month slipped right past me.

Seems like it would be a good idea. They say bigger is better.

They just upgraded the GSA website and pictures take forever to load.

Here's a video that might help you visualize what you might be dealing with:

Yes, on a 2012 the transmission is cable operated. When you park the truck now, does the parking pawl engage and hold the truck from rolling? Maybe the detent linkage got hyper extended or popped out of position. You might have to pull the pan to investigate.

Keep us posted.

If you're having problems with your lockers and you can't figure out if it's the SmartBar or the locker actuators inside the axle housing, I have put together a couple test harnesses I can mail out to help with your diagnosis. Just plug the test harness into the front or rear axle locker connector a...

If your axle actuators are capable of working, then the FSB will solve your problems. It replaces all the electronics except for the axle actuators and the factory dash switch.

They say that the helical LSD doesn't need friction modifier but after I did a fluid service on mine, I had a shudder as well. I added friction modifier and it went away. Give it a try.

Happy 4th of July!

My first suspicion would be U-joints if I was looking for a drivetrain vibration. The noise can telegraph up and down the driveshaft tube and make it sound like it's coming from somewhere else. You can't put a stethoscope on a spinning driveshaft. Look for rust stains coming out of the U-joint cups ...

Looking good Rusty!
When you got high centered, was that with 33" or 37" tires?

The 2007 is a little different than the 2013, it has a T-harness that plugs into the factory connector #C137 under the dashboard by the parking brake control. I sent CurlCollector another copy of the installation instructions, which got him back on track.

Welcome to the forum! Power Wagons have softer springs for off roading. They still have all the same HD drivetrain components as the other HD Ram trucks, so if you just add some air bags and or a weight distributing hitch, you'll be fine. One benefit of the Power Wagon you're considering is the 4.10...

Using a tuner/programmer will recalibrate your speedo and bring your transmission shift points back into their proper range and you'll recover some of that lost MPG and performance. These trucks look anemic until their wheel wells get filled with rubber. 315s/35s are the first step in the addiction....

A 2016 in Lacombe, LA Has some issues.

Thank you Ace!

I'm needing this full smartbar bypass kit for my 2016 PW that's giving me fits.

Responded.
No more fits!

Well... I've been waiting for a new build thread for the Rusty Rubi. Or is it just collecting dust in your garage? You must be getting ready for the annual Rausch Creek run, no?

I have a 2018 PW I’m looking for the kit that will let me control the lockers.
