    Need a snow tire recommendation

    The secret to getting through snow is... Tall and Skinny. My winter tires are BFG KO2 285/75s on 17"... only because I couldn't find/buy 34 x 10.5" on 17". Another option is Goodyear Wranglers 285/75s on 18" which are 35.1" tall and only 11.2" wide. Buy cheap steel rims for the winter and it...

    2019 Ram 2500 steering wheel

    Do you have any other symptoms? IE: Do the lights work on your steering wheel? Do the buttons on the left side still work? If the answer to those questions is "no" or "sometimes"... it's a failing clock spring.

    Parking Sensor$

    **** UPDATE **** Finally got around to installing these. Made sure to add a dab of dielectric grease before installation. At first they didn't work... guess the system needed to reset itself because after the first trip to the grocery store... they worked. Definitely worth the $11 to get rid...

    Advice for Changing Spark Plugs 6.4L

    Thanks Wild One... that's what I was looking for. I knew I'd need some sort of swivel but didn't want to use one that would separate (socket from extension) and then have the grief of trying to fish it out. Cheers.

    Advice for Changing Spark Plugs 6.4L

    Does anyone have any advice, tricks or special tools they use to reach the spark plugs closest to the driver. I think that's cylinder #7 but not sure. It appears being double-jointed might help but... I'm not. I searched youtube videos but they all change plugs on the passenger side... which...

    Parking Sensor$

    By no surprise, one or more of my rear parking sensors has stopped working... AGAIN. Like many of you have already experienced, these little plastic gizmos cost more than their weight in gold from Mopar and Stealerships. I’ve seen them between $150 - $220 CAD. Here’s a link to eBay, where they...

    Traxda 2” Leveling Kit for Power Wagons

    *** FINAL UPDATE *** Last month I removed the entire leveling kit. Even with the Thuren track bar, the handling sucked. Perhaps my mistake was not lifting the rear by 1" with a spacer, just to get back some of the OEM engineered proportionately correct weight distribution... not sure. In any...

    Brake pedal shakes

    I have the same issue with my brake pedal, and it's not related to tires or brakes in this case. The pedal actually wobbles from side to side, probably no more than 3/8-1/2". But it is annoying, especially when on a gravel road. It sounds like the wheel well liners are loose and flopping...

    Wheel help and opinions.

    Like several others have said, +18 or more is what you want if you don't want your tires sticking out. I've got 18" Fuel Vectors with a +18 offset, with 35x12.5 Hankook tires (which technically are 34.8 x 12.9), and they are pretty flush with the flares. I suppose... if you just can't live...

    Traxda 2” Leveling Kit for Power Wagons

    LOL... small 37" tires huh? BTW... I love the locker bypass. No more waiting for the Gods to approve the locker engagement.

    Traxda 2” Leveling Kit for Power Wagons

    ***** UPDATE ***** I just received an email from Traxda. (I wrote them an email with basically the same info as my post above, just more details). I also asked very sheepishly.... if they redesigned or updated their track bar and if so, would they send me a replacement. The answer was yes...

    Traxda 2” Leveling Kit for Power Wagons

    Um... ya, I'm 100% positive it was mounted the correct way. I actually considered that possibility and have held the bar in those positions to check the fitment. It wouldn't fit had I reversed the ends or rotated it 180 degrees (upside down). As I mentioned, it was also reviewed by a service...

    Traxda 2” Leveling Kit for Power Wagons

    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...

    2018 Power Wagon Caster Bolt/Cam Position

    I agree... I don't think they knew what they were doing.... and for that reason I'm not taking it back a 3rd time. I'm going to try a privately owned (vs chain) shop tomorrow.. see what they know before I commit. Otherwise I'll bite the bullet and try the stealership I've had some success with...

    2018 Power Wagon Caster Bolt/Cam Position

    According to the shop and Thuren, the OEM specs for caster are between +3.7 to + 4.5. The first time I took my truck to the shop for an alignment they said it was sitting at 6.61 (drivers side) and 7.03 (passenger), and that they could not get it anywhere close to the OEM specs. The caster...

    2018 Power Wagon Caster Bolt/Cam Position

    Are the caster adjustment bolts/cams supposed to be close to the same position? I've read the Thuren specs and they indicate the cams should be no further than 1 notch apart. However, I don't have Thuren coils or Fox shocks, rather ... a 2" leveling kit with coil spacers, radius arm drop...
