2013 DODGE POWER WAGON QUESTIONS

Hello -

A few questions in regard to the 2013 Dodge Power Wagon (5.7 Hemi):

1) Can the front and rear axle lockers be engaged at the same time like a Jeep wrangler (or - only front or rear - one at a time)?
A) in 4H? or only 4L? Both?
2) I assume the sway bar disconnect is below speeds of 15-18 mph and in 4H or 4L (or can it be activated only in 4L w/appropriate low speed in mind)?

Thanks in advance!

1. They can be engaged at the same time. The sequence goes: open, rear locked, front and rear locked.
1A. Can only be done in 4L under 18mph.
2. Correct. Can be done in both 4H and 4L under 18mph.

In regards to the lockers, you can install a locker bypass to be able to lock both the front and rear while in 2wd or 4Hi. It simply tricks the truck into thinking it's in 4Lo. This does require some splicing though.

And I believe you can go faster than 18mph with the lockers engaged. The sway bar does reconnect after 18mph...

This is correct.

I will also add that the rear axle in the 2013 Power Wagon is not open - it has a LSD.

Everyone is correct.


So, did you get one for yourself yet? :********:

EDIT: Just saw your 35" tire question thread. So, it appears you did find one. What'd you get? Any pics?
