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

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 :lol:

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.

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....

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.

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

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?
