    Locker issue

    I need new actuators for front and rear lockers and price from dealer was pretty high. I have never used lockers and probably never will. It’s not the best time for me to be spending the money on them. 4 wheel drive does engage in high and low. Just wonder if I put it off the repair for a while...

    Humming sound

    Ya I was worried about buying a used truck but no way I could afford a new loaded out Power Wagon!! This transmission was rebuilt and I talked to the shop that did it. He told me what he did and gave me a 3 year or 50k mile warranty. Feel a lot better about the truck but every sound I hear I...

    Humming sound

    It’s a 2016 Power Wagon w/ 114 miles. It has a rebuilt transmission with a 3 year warranty and I have a 6 month power Tran warranty also

    Humming sound

    Just noticed a humming noise when accelerating but goes away when I let off the gas. I just bought this used truck but it has warranty. Any ideas? I plan on taking it to a dealer and changing the differential fluids. Maybe that will fix it.

    Purchase advice

    Thanks for the advice. I got a call back on the one I walked out on Friday. They called this morning and gave me a much better offer and I ended buying my first PowerWagon. Been wanting one of these since 2010!

    Ya I was thinking the same thing but I really think he priced it the same as a Laramie 4x4. I saw car come up Friday night on the internet for the first time. I looked at Saturday morning and when I checked internet Saturday he increased price by $6k. Which is more the going rate for a 2016...

    I looked at another 2016 PowerWagon that is same color and everything as the one I’m also looking at. It popped up on Friday and was priced almost to good to be true….well I looked at and right off the bat the guy realized he priced it to low. He has no clue about Power Wagons. He gave me a...

    Purchase advice

    Well I test drove it today and basically the transmission is rebuilt from a local transmission shop. During test drive salesman tells me what had been done to truck and the transmission would have a three warranty. So I’m feeling pretty good about the deal but they did what I was worried about...

    Thanks. I do have a buddy who is a service advisors for a Ram dealership near by so I plan to have him check it out. He is pro 6.4 Hemi on reliability. The Hemi tick doesn’t seem to be an issue on this truck so far. I have made sure to cold start it myself on my two test drives so far and it...

    Purchase advice

    Thanks for the replies. I am leaning towards buying this one with the valve body and torque converter replaced. Used Power Wagons with 50-80k mile range are $10-15 more. Then I worry about paying more money and transmission goes out on the lower mileage truck anyway. This truck will sit in the...

    Purchase advice

    I should have clarified that’s it’s a pretty good size used car lot and they do have their own service department for basic stuff. I think this went passed their comfort level. I talked to the transmission shop that did the valve body replacement and they remembered the truck. They where...

    Purchase advice

    Thanks. My hope would be that the issues have been fixed with the valve body and torque converter replaced. The price is good and it’s a good looking truck. I also fear paying a little more for one with 40k to 80k range that hasn’t had any transmission issues then it bugs out on me a few months...

    Purchase advice

    Thanks. I did read a lot about the 66rfe and it does sound like a weak link. I also have a buddy who is a service advisor at a local dealership and he says these 6.4’s are pretty reliable. As I said it won’t be my daily driver. I just have to keep looking. My worry is I buy one with 50-60k miles...

    Purchase advice

    Thanks. I looked at a new Tradesman 6.4 Hemi 4x4. It was about as base as you can get. It’s more than I want to spend but I would have some peace of mind with a warranty. As I said I don’t even need a truck I just miss having one and I have wanted a Power Wagon since 2010. I have had two 1500’s...
