    Horrendous sound on cold start

    I had the PS fluid flushed in December and went with Amsoil synthetic. Had no affect on the noise. Still waiting to get in to the dealer. I have sent them many videos to pass on to the mechanics at “head office”. Clearly, no one things it’s too serious.

    Considering a Return to a PowerWagon

    That is a beauty and I love the options! Congrats! What would be the purpose of dual alternators on a PW? Just curious.

    PW gone....

    What attracted me to the PW is that it was properly set up for off-roaring as I would use it - for hunting, ice fishing, going through mud holes in the fall and spring, etc. I haven’t encountered anyone with 37 inch tires yet that actually was using them for anything more than what my 33s can...
