    Drivetrain 'Shudder' when backing up and turning. Rear Suspension, Differential, Transmission or what ?

    There seem to be a lot of rear differential issues being experienced and discussed here. Not finding anything precisely like what I am experiencing, what does everybody else think ? I am wanting to get it diagnosed and repaired while still under warranty, though I am running out of time and...

    Anyone Engaging 4WD and / or are frustrated with lack of LOCKER performance READ THIS!

    Center Console 12v Power Point Fuse

    I am sure this is a really lame question to ask. Hoping someone can give me a quick, clean answer and minimal grief... While filling a tire with a 12v Cigarette Lighter Plug wheezy weak assed tiny portable compressor out in the sticks, the fuse popped and now the port is dead. I was...

    Some New Wheels & Tires. Pics + Dune Romping Video

    Some shots of the truck, now at 40k miles, with fresh tires on new wheels. Took it out to see if anything rubbed at 'full flex' and how they worked aired down. Also shot some videos testing them out in the Sand Dunes.

    Scratched Leather Wheel, any cures ?

    This may sound silly, but it drives me NUTS! I just love the fat, smooth leather steering wheel in my rig. In previous vehicles, I always took care not to damage the wrap, but on occasion jumped out and my pocket knife clip or whatever in my right front pocket would scrape the leather and...

    "Touched Up" 2013 Power Wagon Southern Utah Pics

    Southern Utah in a showroom stock Power Wagon. Posted previously elsewhere - these are a bit "lightened up" as I am a poor photographer using my phone. So I tuned them up a bit and though they were worth re-posting here. :)

    YOUR HOMETOWN - Ramstyle

    In a similar request in the "Photo Challenge" thread, we seemed to get quite a nice response from those who were proud of their hometown, their truck, who they are and what it represents to them. What is more grass roots than the owner of a pick up, and what they do for work or play. Show us...

    Solid Front axle 4x4 guys get in here!

    I have a question about the Mystery Front Universal Joint Lube sticker. * I am not sure if this is Power Wagon only, or if all 2500+ 4x4 trucks with solid front axles have this sticker and mystery nipple. I originally posted there, but received little or no feedback, so I will open it up to...

    Nylon Line to replace factory Cable on Power Wagon Winch

    I did a dumb thing. While un-spooling my factory stock winch line, I went too far. Rather than pulling it out all by hand, I attached it to an anchor and slowly backed up. My intentions were to get a look at how long the cable was for future mental reference in a time of need, while also...

    The Invisible Front Universal Joint Lube Nipple

    When doing my first Service on my brand new truck, I noticed a "Maintenance Advisement" Sticker on the inside front of the Driver Side fender (shown). It recommends lubricating the front driveshaft at each oil change interval. Then, there is a small diagram pointing to where the grease...

    Vararam Air Grabber on Power Wagon - Opinions

    I LOVE the look of the Vararam Air Grabber air intake system. A little boost in performance, cleaning up the engine bay and adding more surface area to a filter is a good idea, on top of any possible gains from the cold air / semi forced induction effect that this system provides. My...

    Power Wagon on Slick Rock -Pics-

    Took the Power Wagon out to play on Sunday afternoon. After running the shoreline and playing in the dunes and lower hills, we decided to ease 'er into 4Lo, dial up the front and rear lockers, hit the electronic swaybar disconnect and take a shot at some of the tall slickrock. Even with...

    2013 Power Wagon in the Dunes - Pics

    We went back to the nearby Coral Pink Sand Dunes that are not far from Zion National Park here in Utah over the weekend. Aired down and had a great time exploring both the big dunes and squeezing down the narrow UTV trails in the area. Due to the cooler temps and recent rain and snow...

    Power Wagons in the mist... and a submerged Samurai!

    So, much like everyone else, the snow came in this past weekend. Not bad, but the freezing wind that came in behind it, once things cleared out did get ugly. My "official" patio thermometer that records annual highs and lows now has some new figures; High of 117 this last August, new low of...

    Realistic Maintenance Schedule 2013 PW

    I can't believe it, but I have managed to already roll over 10k miles on my rig! Many of those have been towing, in the blazing heat of summer. It's obviously been off road in the blowing dust and sand as well as casual cruising to town and back for routine shopping errands. It seems my...

    Lookie What I Found!

    I found this Gem at a local storage yard. For Sale sign on it, but no one around and no price is listed. Despite it being totally hammered, it does have the drivetrain and original Winch. It also appears to have a motor and axles obviously, but no telling what condition they are in, nor...

    My "Swaybar Disconnect" Flexy Pics

    The flood waters have subsided around here for the most part, leaving freshly carved washes, rain ruts and wind blown trails. I thought it would be a good time to see what damage had been done and spend some time finding the condition of local water crossings etc. The truck was already a bit...

    Neat Utah Power Wagon Demo Vid

    Perhaps this was posted in the vids section back when it originally came out. But, I will post it up here in case others too have missed it. I find the host annoying, but the truck and scenery are great! It is exactly the type of terrain and views I get to enjoy out here, though I have...

    Power Wagon Pics

    We have a lot of great scenery around here to pose the Power Wagon in. The maker / vendor of my Brush Guard asked for more pics, so I took some to send in. I hope they end up on their web site for World Wide coverage. These were at the scenic overlook at Lake Powell. You can see the town...

    I HATE electronic "Nannies"

    Well, as most of you can tell by now from my many posts, I am LOVING my new Power Wagon. But, as with everything, there are bound to be little things that annoy. Several of them have revealed themselves lately while out off road. I guess Ram and their legal team have decided to build...

    Cool Custom Winch Straps

    While doing some winching, I lost my original Warn Winch pull strap. So I went over to Fleabay looking for a replacement, and found these cool jobbies. They are fully customizable, in strap color, lettering color and phrase you want on it. They were only like $12 ea. so I got two. I...

    Power Wagon Recovers Challenger 400 Series Boat from Beach *pics*

    OK, so it was only an inflatable. But, there was no ramp! :eek: Taken at Lone Rock Beach over the weekend. You can see the appropriately named rock pinnacle island behind the RZR in one of the picks. Insane T-Storm tore through right at dusk, but by the afternoon it was clear and 100 deg as...
