    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.

    Horrendous sound on cold start

    Yes, that’s why it’s going in to the dealer for “just in case” issues happen later on. Thanks!

    Horrendous sound on cold start

    Well, that’s good to know. I had a full inspection in November and the belts were fine then. But it’s the extreme cold squeal!

    Horrendous sound on cold start

    That’s very interesting Star Deceiver. Yeah, there doesn’t seem to be any performance issues, but it sure sounds scary! Here’s today’s racket: https://youtube.com/shorts/7Fc5F2-a6JY?si=OWPRtR_eRS5PeWTv

    Horrendous sound on cold start

    Thanks for your ideas, guys. I had the power steering guild flushed and replaced with Amsoil fluid as it is apparently better in the extreme cold ( just before Christmas when I had a full inspection and oil change). The noise this morning was louder and higher pitched, but I didn’t have a...

    Horrendous sound on cold start

    I had this issue last year, during cold starts I hear an awful sound, like metal on metal, often during starts in temps colder than -25 C. Took it into the dealer last year for 4 days and they said they started it every morning and they could not hear it. I sent in videos to my dealer and they...

    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...

    Air Filter

    Has anyone used the dry reusable air filters? I am looking at and afe pro dry filter. It is washable and costs $160 CAD, so I want to make sure it is worth the money before I purchase. Thanks.

    MPG with 35 inch tires

    Just curious if any of you guys noticed much difference in MPG when switching to 35” tires from the stock 33s. Thanks.

    2024 Dodge Ram Revolution

    Technology is going in that direction and the days of carbon fuel are clearly numbered. Let’s just hope the technology is developed enough to have the same, or better, capabilities than what our current gasoline engines offer. I expect that my next truck will be completely electric. A hundred...

    Power wagon questions

    I bought a brand new left over 2020 for $10,000 below sticker price 10 months ago. I have put 8000km on it already, 6000 km was me pulling my 7000 lb travel trailer last summer all over western Canada. I am thoroughly impressed with my PW. Drives and tows great. Went through several muddy...

    PW Rattle in Econo mode

    Block Heater

    Here’s last night’s temp in the Northwest Territories. Needless to say, I did not use the timer last night! Happy New Year’s everyone.

    Block Heater

    Here in the North, we usually plug the block heater and a trickle charger into a coiled up 6 ft cord under the hood.

    Block Heater

    I normally leave my 6.4 gas plugged in four hours before starting. I don’t think the block heaters get super hot.

    Active shutters, what's the consensus?

    Yeah, mine has them. One of the first things the dealer showed me when I was first looking at the truck. I didn’t think they’d make any difference, but I was happily surprised.

    Active shutters, what's the consensus?

    I am loving the grill shutters here in northern Canada. My ‘20 PW warms up twice as fast as my ‘09 1500 did. People can complain all they want about the new stuff, but when it works, it works well. Progress is not made by driving a model t.
