Hi all,
I’m looking at a 2017 PW that has 158k miles on it. They are selling it for $27k USD out the door. I’ll be using it for some travel trailer towing, smaller jobs, but also around town here and there. It drives beautifully and looks very well-maintained. CARFAX seemed to have regular...
Had the BDS 4" kit installed on my 2018 Power Wagon. The guys at my offroad shop who installed it said the crossmember bracket that came with the BDS kit is not required. They mentioned they BDS said that the crossmember bracket could cause excess vibration and driveshaft failure over time.
My...
Hey all, just purchased a 2017 Power Wagon, and I am looking for a new suspension setup. Previous owner installed a BDS 4" lift kit, and fox 2.0 shocks. He also installed airbags for an overland trailer rig. I believe it also has drop brackets. Recently took it to a shop and found the right rear...
Has anyone installed or heard of success when using the Sonnax thermal bypass eliminator kit? It just looks to be a cartridge valve swap while retaining the OEM body.
I have warranty for another 3 years and don’t want to install an ATS or REV if that’s what they’ll use as a reason to void it...
Recently purchased a 2018 Power Wagon in Flame Red with 99,8XX KM, now at 108,3XX KM. Thanks to this forum, I've managed to do lots of the recommended fixes or upgrades but wanted to document my progress so far and see what else I can add to my to-do list and maintenance routine.

Whats up everyone? new here. I just bought a 2013 Ram Tradesman Power Wagon. Truck does not sit level. I believe this is aftermarket coils? Could the truck be sitting low in the front due to the age of coils? Can I use pucks to level the truck? I have searched the interweb and cannot find an...
I’m really happy with it. The install was a little more time consuming than I thought it would be because all the YouTube videos for Ram 2500 bumper removal/install are for non Power Wagon models. Regular models just have the bumper brackets bolted in from what I’ve seen, but in the PW the winch...
Hey all,
Has anyone run quality hub-centric spacers (ie: BORA, Spidertraxx) on the stock PW wheels to fit 37s?
I know for aftermarket wheels +18 to +25 offset is ideal to fit 37s. If I went that route I'd likely going with AEVs, Methods, or Racline wheels with those specs.
However, I...
Welp! It only took 37 years to finally buy my first new car/truck. Kind of went crazy and got a Power Wagon. It was just too perfect for my dream/goal. I ordered it in March and just received it two weeks ago. The ultimate goal with this rig is to build it for mild to moderate overlanding...
Hey all! I've got a 2018 PW (6.4 HEMI) with a Firestone air kit (the 7500 lb kit). I'm looking at a 5th wheel with a hitch weight of 2350lbs and 11,900 dry weight. I've never towed a 5th wheel before, though I have experience towing larger loads, but always with an oversized truck where the...
2018 Pw, 63 k miles, 40 k on 37’s.
95% daily driver. New transmission installed. Glad I got the Lifetime warranty.
I am learning that regearing will get more life out of the transmission.
What ratio should I go to? I’m going to keep running 37’s.
My new-to-me PW wont fit in my garage by about 1-2" (due to the running lights / sharkfin antenna)
I can't part outside due to HOA restrictions, and I cant make the garage bigger.
What would you do (besides sell the truck)
Have an autobody shop install low-pro running lights / remove the...
Hey everyone, I am a previous RAM owner (I had a 2009 Ram 1500) and I loved that truck!
I left to New York city and while I was living in the east coast, my brother ended up wrecking the big girl.
He decided to use the insurance money to purchase a midsize Chevrolet Colorado.
Upon my return...
Has anyone heard of any problems with the 2021 2500's?
I ordered a 2021 Power Wagon - 75 anniv. the first week in Dec 2020.
Received my VIN a few days later
The dealer told me it would take 8 weeks for the truck to come in.
It has now been 16 weeks and still no truck.
They are telling me the...
got my pods in today from Tracker T6 Pod (30W) - SideTracked Off Road 3 month wait but well worth it. half the cost of the major brands, from my old neighboorhood in Folsom, CA too!
im will post pics of them working in my build thread after i get the truck back from the body shop. she is...
Hi All, I have been using this forum pretty heavily as a non-member to gain knowledge about my purchase, and now that the deal is done, I figured I would join. This is the first valuable vehicle I have owned; prior to this I was leasing trucks.
I just purchased this used 2015 Ram 2500 Power...
So, I traded in my 2006 Power Wagon for a new 2020 Power Wagon. I took the old wheels and tires (37x13.50r17 Open Country M/T) off and put them on the new truck. They didn’t rub on the 06, but they’re rubbing like they’ve been on deployment for a year on the 2020.
I want to put a BDS lift on...
This is my experience with the Traxda 2” leveling kit (P/N 605053) for my 2018 Power Wagon, just learn from it.
The first issue: The heim in the track bar that comes with the kit is too short. If their heim was threaded in enough to be safely secured, your axle will be off center, just like...
I used my winch twice since I’ve bought my new 2019 PW.
yesterday, I go around the front and the winch cable is loose. the winch was in the locked position which I thought was odd and I could pull the cable freely in the locked position. So I tried to lock the winch in both positions, however...
Hey y’all,
I’ve got a 2006 Powerwagon I need to do a tuneup on, and I’m looking for advice on the best complete tuneup kits.
There are about a dozen or more I’ve seen, but I’m looking for personal experiences on how the performance and gas mileage was affected.
I’ve seen a marked decline in...
After looking into the jeep wrangler 4xe, this looks like something that could be awesome for a power wagon.
The additional torque would be amazing and obviously better mpg would be great. Towing could be greatly improved as well.
I am not a fan of full electric, but a plug in hybrid makes...
Hi, has anyone found a good solution for mounting auxiliary lights (light bars, etc.) on the front of their 5th gen Power Wagon?
Randy Ellis Design, Inc. had one but it interfered with the front sensor so it back to the drawing board.
Not wanting to swap out the front bumper.
Thanks!
Curious if a rebel grille would fit on a 4th gen 2500? Have been looking for a power wagon grille to no avail, but have found a rebel grille locally for a good deal.
