Has anyone installed the disconnect from offroad evolution yet? If you have let me know how it works my computer for the disconnect and lockers is shorted and looking to fix it soon.

If I pay for shipping can you send me all the parts you removed from the sway bar. I am trying to build air operated one just never seem to be able to keep mine apart long enough to get a good go at it

Now that would be sweet. An air operated locker!

Did you finish up the new swaybar disconnect?

Hey there not yet that weekend fell through ended up having to work.... I ended up buying a new smart bar for $250 so I went with that. I will still be installing the manual disconnect on the other one though as a spare. I'm hoping to have some time this weekend stay tuned!

Where did you find a sway bar for $250, I need one for an 06

leo72987 · Post by **leo72987** » Tue Mar 25, 2014 3:17 pm

Here's the bad news for you =/ Your 06 uses a different computer design than my 05. I bought mine from http://www.rtpartsco.com/. However it seems that all 06+ Power wagon sway bars are $1500+ brand new. All 2005 models you can grab for like $250 what's funny is they all do the same thing they just made the 2006+ models out of gold or something.... Here is the price for yours from the place I bought mine http://www.rtpartsco.com/oemparts/dodge ... 412AB.html

I find your answer unacceptable, try again in a fashion that will cost me much less money

Guess I go back to my original plan of hardwired lockers and the Carli Sway Bar, just need the cash

Haha I figured you wouldn't like my answer seems like the 05's are the cheapest to keep stock LOL. I decided to order it while I could before I couldn't get them anymore which I assume would be on the 10 year mark. When this one fails I will just end up switching of to the disconnect one

stamm20 · Post by **stamm20** » Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:08 pm

Well i went ahead and ordered the Evo disconnect!!!

Ill keep everyone updated when i get it put it in. Seems like a good design we'll see how it holds up

Curious to hear how it works out. I have one sitting in a box waiting until my smartbar dies again. (only a matter of time) Then it will be hard wired lockers and manual swaybar disconnect from then on out.

What is the part number for the 2005 smart bar ??? anyone ??? I might want to buy one to mount on the rear of my truck.

leo72987 · Post by **leo72987** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 9:49 am

Hey there that would be an interesting setup the part # for a 2005 Power Wagon smart bar is 52121238AD

Hey guys I know this is a late update but I just hard wired my lockers and converted the sway bar to manual. I was tired of all the back and fourth working and not working....

Big Blue · Post by **Big Blue** » Mon Apr 28, 2014 8:58 pm

Are you happy with with the manual stabilizer? Did you know how to wire the lockers or did you use some of the info/instructions from the site, or elsewhere? I think I want to hard wire mine but I'm not crazy about doing the wiring myself. I'm definitely not a mechanic. Can do some simple stuff but I'm a little wary of wiring. If there are simple instructions somewhere I'd appreciate you pointing me to them. Thanks.

The manual swaybar is easy to install just three bolts,but I haven't had a chance to test it out yet ill getcha the link to hardwire the lockers I'm about to do that in a couple weeks not excited to tear into the dash

Big Blue · Post by **Big Blue** » Mon Apr 28, 2014 9:08 pm

Hey I found the disconnect works great! You turn the knob all the way in hop in the truck and back up and listen for a pop. Almost instantly is disconnects to reconnect turn it all the way out hop in the truck drive around a little bit and you will here it reconnect. I've also attached another useful link for the hardwire details. It's pretty straight forward where you decide to ground it is up to you. I grounded both locker connections using one of the pre existing grounding bolts by the battery.

Well...I got about 3/4 of the way through wiring my lockers and ran into a slight problem. I found the wiring harness that contains the rear locker wires, found the yellow with white source wire but when I tried to locate the yellow with gray wire I'm not seeing it. I admit I'm somewhat color blind but the wire that was wrapped closely to the yellow/white wire looked a little purple-ish gray.

Is the wire I'm looking for light gray or dark gray? I'm hoping someone says it looked purple-ish to them also.

Here's a question when you hard wire the lockers is the locked icon still displayed on the power wagon panel?? Also how much was the manual swaybar disconnect?
