Winch Installion Instructions

Anyone know where I can find some? Scored a used PW winch with mount for my 2007. Previous owner had removed the one it came with. I can probably figure it out but it would be nice to have some directions.

Re: Repainting the Wagon

$1500 for a paint job? I'll take one. 'Round here a good paint job costs waaay more. Maybe $1500 if I did all of the prep work myself.

Re: 2014 MPG's

My mileage seems to be getting worse. At 3500 miles my average is down to 11.2, and that's with some limited highway driving mixed in. I'm guessing my "around town" mileage is in the 10-11 range. The good news is that gas is down to $2.79/gallon in my area.

Re: Selling my 2006 G56 PW

Keep us posted on how your sale progresses. Just curious to see how the market is for used 3rd gens. I've had my '07 up for sale the last couple of months and have had some calls and emails but not a single looker. It's a nice truck to! Mostly stock except for locker hard wire and manual stabilizer ...

Re: 2015 AutoGuide.com Truck of the Year

I currently own a 2007 and a 2014. The '07 does feel more nimble and quicker. Not sure it IS quicker or just feels like it. I attribute it to the gearing AND the much lighter steering feel. It's also shorter and lighter. The '14 on the other hand feels more stable and planted. Feels like a bigger tr...

I took a closer look at mine ('14 Laramie) and they are kinda half of what I thought they were. Don't cover the frame entirely.

Door Adjustment Question

The driver's door on my '07 has some wind noise and sits a just a tad lower than the rear door. I checked the hinge pins, bushings and hinges and they're solid. The seals are also in good shape. There's tons of info on the web about how to adjust the door by loosening the hinges, etc., so I think I ...

Re: Posers bother me way more than they should

I couldn't care less what people do, or don't do with their trucks or cars or motorcycles or houses or whatever. As long as they aren't messing with me, my property or hurting anyone else. I really don't pay much attention to other people.

Re: My 2014 PW needs a new motor!

Man...a new engine! Sorry to heat that. That makes my faulty backup camera seem not so bad. Don't mean to pour salt in your wound but I'm not sure I'd want a new motor in my truck. In fact I'm pretty sure I wouldn't. I'd be pushing for a new truck. I'm certain the techs at my dealership couldn't rem...

Re: First problem with my 2014

Dealer fixed the camera. Service rep told me they found the "camera module was disconnected". All they did was "resecured" it. Of course when I asked for a more complete explanation the service guy had no idea, and the tech had already left. I asked where the camera module was located, was it in the...

2007 For Sale

I still have my 2007 for sale if there is any interest. I haven't been trying very hard to sell it but figure I should probably make an effort if I want to keep my happy home. Bought a 2014 PW and the wife just can't understand why I would need two of them. Go figure. :lol: I can't figure out how to...

Re: lockers acting up need help

Kinda sucks that these problems still exist since they've been happening since the PW was reintroduced in, when, 2005? I bought a 2014 thinking the Ram engineers would have addressed these issues by now but I guess that's not the case. I probably shoulda done more research. If the smartbar and elect...

Maybe check your software version before spending the time at the dealer. My 2014 had issues with the camera, glitchy etc... And I found a software update. Went from 14.05 to 14.25 and it fixed everything. -Jeff How do I update the software? I checked and my version is 14.05.3, so it seems there is...

Re: First problem with my 2014

Problem is I didn't buy it at the local dealer. Traveled 200 miles to get the truck and deal I wanted. Pretty sure local dealer won't give me a loaner. I have another truck (my '07 PW) but still need to get a ride to and from.

Back up camera stopped working at 1750 miles. Yes, I use it when hookin up my trailer, and in tight spots. Hope it's not a sign of things to come.

My 2014 Laramie MSRP was $60,083, purchased it for $50,000 (plus tax). Not sure what invoice is. It was on the dealer lot.
