    6.4l terrible mpg

    MDS is a funny thing. I used to disable it in my 5.7 1500 Laramie because it was so intrusive in noise and vibration... But I've never bothered in my PW. Even with my glass packed single exhaust I can never notice when it's active...

    Our New Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

    I've been driving my wife's 4XE to work for a year and a half since her early retirement... I like that the combined HP and torque makes it move out pretty quick for such a heavy SUV... Plus-I can drive to work all week long for the same fuel that my PW uses in a single day...

    Tires make all the difference in the world!

    Improvements? I really can't say cause I only had the Duratracs for a few miles. I wanted to go up to 35" tires and the local shop said they've been having good success with the Klevers even on farm trucks that see a ton of gravel roads. I can say they have been surprisingly good tires for...

    Brand new RAM RHO

    Nice, but I'm glad my PW is paid for... It's likely the last truck I'll ever own...

    Tires make all the difference in the world!

    Yep... I picked up my PW brand new, drove to the tire shop across town and swapped the OEM Duratracs for a set of 35" 10 ply Klever RTs. ( and sold the Duras for almost what I had into the new ones...) They've been exceptional tires so far...

    bumpy ride 2500 powerwagon

    Iowa roads are far worse than Wisconsin's but I think my Power Wagon rides surprisingly nice for a 3/4 ton. Better than my cousin's new 1500 Trailboss for sure... And I'm running 35" 10plys around 60psi... Your PW is old enough than new shocks might be a good investment...

    Driving habits reported to your insurance company?

    I shudder to think what my insurance premiums would be if they knew my actual driving habits. My PW probably wouldn't bother them too bad, but my motorcycle premiums would be sky high...

    2024 DODGE RAM 2500 OBSTACLE COURSE TEST DRIVE N.A.I. Detroit Auto Show

    Thanks for the post! We are a Jeep/Ram family here... FWIW-I really liked the 3.6 Pentastar that was in my Wrangler (and my wife's Grand Cherokee Trailhawk) Easy to maintain and had decent power...

    What To Expect From The 2024 Ram Rampage

    My dad's 2004 Dakota 4.7l... Only 36K and no rust (yet)... I'd use it as a DD if I owned it... I like it better than anything I've read about the Rampage...

    3.0L Hurricane Updates?

    You joke- but I've already told my wife that if anything catastrophic happens to my PowerWagon I'm not getting another new truck. Now that I don't need it for a daily driver I'll buy an older restored pick up (or resto-mod). I want one anyway but don't have the room or money for 2 trucks I only...
