Power Wagon Registry

Garages are for keeping vehicles in? who knew! I've never kept any of my vehicles inside a garage.

No hood lights or roof lights EVER!!! Center lights are long distance pencil beam, outters are for pattern and aimed slightly toward the ditch. Perfect for my use. I do search and rescue with my truck.

LED's should not be considered consumables!

For sale brand new safety seal kit, fresh plugs!
My loss is your gain, I got this thinking it would fit in my motorcycle tool bag. I doesn't.
$50 shipped anywhere a flat rate box will go. You save $10 over the amazon price.

For sale slightly used red flat link. It does not work with my winch rope, the splice for the thimble is too big to fit through the hawse, so the factor 55 does not lay flat. It will work with just about any onther rope except Master Pull Superline XD. $75.00 plus shipping. Will probably fit in a sm...

Why is this BS in the funny pic thread????

Ditch lights outside, pencil beam driving lights inner:

with switches off:

Lighted safety switches for Fire truck air horn, driving lights, ditch lights, backup lights and front and rear strobes:

I had the recall done on my truck.didn't make any difference how it steered. I finally did the whole front end on my truck. Carli level kit, springs, shocks and sway bar end links. Thuren control arms. Synergy steering kit, tie rod and drag link. I had already installed locking hubs, Carli ball join...

I think VerdeSARdog has one, or one similar, on his hydraulic winch. Hopefully he jumps in to verify.

Old thread, I know!
Yep my cheap wireless is still working great!
The unlock button is power out, the lock button is winch in:

ammo!, none of that MRE crap!

I tried the chalk test with nonsense results so I just go by the tire load chart.
Unloaded front 45psi, rear 35psi with 315-70-17's on a Cummins 2500.

Well of course! That little connection is just to get the rope started on the drum, when winching you need to keep at least 6 wraps on the drum!

could be a bad relay if you are using them for all circuits.
I had an intermittent light also. It was the relay, I opened up the relay and found a way small surface mount relay wired inside???wtf?? Was supposed to be a 30A relay .....

I wonder if all that heat effected the springs? I would have just cut them all off with much less hassle....

of course!!!!!

All done! I only had to cut one front lower bolt, I used a 6" cutoff wheel.

I am going to cut the lower control arms off and install the lower thuren's to match the uppers already installed.

Rusty, what kind of blade did you use in your sawsall? Aren't those hardened bolts and sleeves? I think i can get 5" wheels for my angle grinder which should make fast work of it.

Well I did the complete front end and didn't die! I will just leave the lowers till they go bad. I'm tired of working on the blue beast.

OK after more research I finding different info some say pos caster is forward leaning some say rear leaning. So confused. More research is needed! I remember now, the arms on this truck were not OEM, the Thurens are just a tad shorter so the axle did rotate back a degree or two. Just got back from ...

That's kind of what I thought after posting the photos. A power wagon winch mount will not work on a CDT, the intercooler takes up all the space necessary for that. I got that specific mount because I did not want to get a massive new bumper just to mount a winch!

Darn, you are correct,I was thinking positive caster was front lean but it is rear leaning of the suspension. I could only get 2* caster with the arms that were on the truck now it's probably close to zero :evil: Funny, I did a reference tilt measurement on the knuckle with one of those little magne...

Here are a couple of photos ofo the mile marker extreme mounted on my CDT:
