Re: Chains, I'm from Florida, so ...

Yeah, if there's an avalanche that road's gonna close while the state/county/whoever clears it. You won't need to chain up to climb over a mountain of snow, rocks and tree limbs. I'd hold off on chains until you run into a situation where you would need them, then decide if that situation will be co...

Re: What to do when you see a abandonned car on the trail?

Contact the state or federal agency that manages the land. They probably won't help get it off the trail, but if you can get it to the road they will likely help get rid of it. A 4x4 club up here in Alaska did something similar with 2 trucks left on state land last year. Sent from my iPhone using Ta...

Re: 2017 PW Build & Price Available Now

The Laramie PW build and price is still a little confused. No dual alt. option and it thinks the wheels are 18" alloys. I checked the SLT build and price, and dual alts is still an option, and I've seen (online) a 2017 Laramie PW on a lot with the same PW wheels they've had since the last change.

Re: Power outlet ?'s

The dash 115V outlet has built-in overload protection. You can just keep adding strings of LED's until you kill it, then take one or two out and you're good to go! I want to see pictures of the Christmas Wagon. Like TwinStick says, "RTFM". ;)

Heck yea! Im sure most of the improvement is from the added length of the new bar. The original angle is quite flat in stock location. The length of the bar and the joints are the improvements, yes. The angle indicator shows how flat the bar is and how little the axle will move side to side. Also, ...

Re: 2017 2500/3500/Power Wagon Brochure ?

Canadian pesos. Also, they mixed up the dash buttons because they added front park sensors, and had to add the "off" button for them to the panel. That's the only difference I could find.

Re: Colour Help 2017

I think there are some problems with the US PW Laramie build and price website.

Yooper, here's a pic of my 2015 "Western brown", which I'm pretty sure is t...

The center axle disconnect has never caused me any problems on my 2015, but some see it differently. It is one more thing to break, and it's also the reason we lost our front axle skid plate that protected the steering stabilizer. On the plus side, the CAD makes it really easy to grease the front dr...

Re: RamBox guys..opinions please.

One more thing I forgot about my cross bars... They start whistling at 70-75 mph when they're empty. It's not unbearable, but it is noticeable. I didn't think of it because I don't have many opportunities to drive that fast, so it's not really an issue for me.

15' PW 1500 RPM Stumble

I get the low RPM stumbles occasionally, usually when creeping through construction areas or slowly nosing the truck up/around switchbacks on mountain roads. I use the shifter knob to force the truck into a lower gear and that lines it out.
