Re: Goofy steering issue
Well when I get back stateside I will see if an alignment will help but if not, I guess a new steering box is in my future.

Goofy steering issue
So 2 months back I put on a leveling kit on my '13 pw. This past monday, the steering started acting strange. At around 40mph, the steering wheel develops a dead spot, about 15degrees left or right of center. Turning either way there is no resistanance on the wheel and no response to the steering. A...

Issue after latest recall
Brought my truck into the dealer on Saturday for oil change and to take care of the latest recall about the passenger restrain computer issue. I get the truck back and the ESC warning light is on. Restart, turn ESC off and on, lights still there. Take it back in and 10 mins later, dealer says it's n...

Re: New addition to the stable
For the near future, I will just be cleaning it up and using it as a weekend cruiser. Once I get more garage space, I will be slowing building it to be more off road worthy. Looking at getting a full cage and armor to start with, but it will be a long term project for the family. It is a bit smaller...

Down at Maxwell AFB for a few weeks of training. There is a Laramie Power wagon in the SOC parking lot. Belong to anyone on here?

Re: Power Wagon on Top Gear
Any one notice during the STI intro montage they showed the PW locker knob?
I still can't stand the American topgear. Looking forward to the Amazon "grand tour" hope it has the same magic as the original.

Re: n-fab side steps for 2015 PW
I had a set of the steps on my Silverado for 5 years. They were a good step, but did get hung up on every thing. They started to rust on the inside of the tube due to the plug at the end as others have pointed out. For the PW, I went with the adjuststep rails. They sparked my interest because the st...

Re: Hemi Fever tuning!
I guess I am glad to hear I am not the only one struggling with the tuner. They did say that the changes may have occurred during the failure. Diablo said that if you go back to the parameter page the change should be reflected. In my case, it never reflected the changes. I got my 35s installed this...

Re: Hemi Fever tuning!
X2 on the horrible tech support. My intune won't make any changes to the adjustable parameters. Been trying for months to figure it out. They have told me it's a known problem then suddenly only my truck has the issue and now they are saying it's an issue they have heard of before. They only suggest...

Re: 6X6 Hellcat Wrangler
Saw it in person at SEMA. It is an incredible rig. For having the hellcat it was exceptionally quiet and unassuming... well you know, apart from the extra axle.

Re: ADD bumper
It is a slick setup but that price tag is slightly ridiculous. I saw a couple on various rigs at Sema and they looked great and solid. I also saw several trucks with fusion bumpers. They are a plate style but don't have the exorbitant overhang nor do they stick out a foot from the fromt of the truck...

Re: Transmission Service...
For a 545RFE ... :secret: a tip for everybody, when asking technical questions, it helps to know what year you guys are driving. Is that the same torque spec for the 11.5 AAM rear on a 2014+ rear diff cover? I serviced my diffs two weeks ago. 30ftlbs is all you need for the bolts. I broke a head of...

I went to the shop and talked to Will(the one who came up with them for metalcloak) when they first announced the arms. I spent 30 minutes with him talking and looking over his truck (lifted 3Gen Diesel on 37s). He showed me the bushings separate from the arms and they looked like a solid design. No...

Re: alpine sound system problems 2013
Haven't had that issue with my 13. The only quirk that I have run across is with the "true surround" sound feature. It messes with the balance and fade. I will set it to center both and it will randomly go to the back driver side. It's done that a dozen or so times in the two years I have had the tr...

Re: calls from dealerships
The ram dealership here in town offered 47k for the trade in. Im not going to drive the 9 hours to the Toyota dealer to hear their offer, but I could be persuaded for 100k. who am I kidding, she's not for sale. At least not until the "new more focused" power wagon makes an appearance. :drool: :drool:
