But of course it's not ready and I have to go to work for the next week. So question is do I go for 315/70 cooper st maxx or are most happy with stock size??

Stock gets you stuck.

Was going to see if the local tire shop would trade for a fair amount as the tires would only have like 10 miles on them. Except I kinda like the white lettering.

Well if it is just about the white lettering, the coopers have white letters too.

Nice truck!

Nice truck, probably the nicest one in the valley.

Not just the lettering. Had a friend with a set of duratracs that were awesome then a second set he had 3 of 4 with tubes in them. I've seen one other in the valley he actually just moved from rock springs

Wyoming may be the least populated state in the union , but when it comes to Power Wagons there are a lot of them. Especially here in SW Wyoming. For our part of the country the Duratracs perform pretty good, all of our company trucks run them in the oil field.

Go to the 315's!!! I will never go back to stock size. You might have a slight rub on the radius arms/bolts at full lock so you would just have to be careful making tight turns. But other than that the bigger tires are the way to go. With the new trucks using the super beefy 11.5 rear axle the larger tires, IMO, are a must for better ground clearance.

315's!!!!!!!! No question.... I'm going to 315 when my 285's wear out. Also great tire choice I love my St Maxx's

315's and don't look back!! I'm running 315's right from 20 km on my 15. Gave my bro the duratracs and had the big tires on right away. And I agree, with the 11.5" rear end, we need the extra clearance! And it just looks way better!

My 2013 is stock height just running Thuren control arms. I don't like the look a a level truck unless it's loaded down.

My wife called my '11 Power Wagon an "old man farmer truck with cow nipple wheels" and now calls my '14 a "mid life crisis truck with flames on the side." LOL!

that's funny! I get much the same kind of spousel abuse. Our boat is "old man green" and the power wagon is an expensive "lawn ornament ". I work away half the year so it's a garden nome to her!

That's a very good looking truck! The color is awesome but I can't get away with anything that dark due to the fact that I live on a half mile dirt road and it would be filthy 5 minutes after I washed it. Silver is much more forgiving here. I like em sitting level myself and I'll probably go with the 315s when I get new sneakers for mine. Congrats on the new toy! Oh and yeah my wife has asked me at least 5 times why I had to have this truck and why I didn't just get another 1500 like my last one. She's keeping a close eye on it to see what changes so she can give me the "You're Not 18 Years Old Anymore!" Line of BS!

bvpw · Post by **bvpw** » Sun May 10, 2015 9:47 pm

I told myself never another dark color but my wife doesn't like silver and this was the next color I wanted. Wish I had the truck but still working so have to wait till Thursday!!

Took the family out for a drive. Finally got the chance to pic it up Thursday night and this was Friday!! So far I like it rides much better than my 1 ton Ford off road

Got a chance to test out 4 wheel drive

How do you turn the hill decent on. If I turn it on it just flashed and turns off?

I dont know but damn you have a nice looking truck hahahaha

I would check your owners manual.

Low_Sky · Post by **Low_Sky** » Tue May 19, 2015 11:52 am

You'll have to check the manual because I can't remember the particulars, but there are permissive conditions that have to be met. I believe one of them is the grade of hill you are on must be steep enough. I have had my PW for a few days and haven't found a hill steep enough to try it out yet.

Just checked my manual. HDC can only be enabled if: 4LO, less than 5mph, park brake released, driver door closed. Once enabled, it is only active on grades steeper than 8%.

HDC is deactivated if: overridden by driver brake or throttle input, speed greater than 20 but less than 40 mph, less than 8% grade, shifted to park.

HDC is disabled if: press HDC switch, shift out of 4LO, apply park brake, open driver door, exceed 20 mph for 70 seconds, exceed 40 mph.
