    “Swaybar disconnect unavailable?”

    Sliders?

    They definitely will. If it doesn’t say so on the website, it’s because it would never occur to Neil to make a set of sliders that couldn’t be used as a jack point, so he doesn’t need to specify that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dumb question.....but

    It’s primary purpose is to keep your hands away from the fairlead or recovery point pinch points when storing the winch line. It’s also easy on the hands for pulling line, but you should be wearing gloves for handling wire rope anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2018 Power Wagon Auto Downshift

    It’s a truck still under warranty. The trans may still be “learning”. Or it may need a reflash. Try the simple option first before you start thinking about programmers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Winch recovery items

    I spool an 80’ synthetic rope. If you need more reach, use extensions and keep it off the drum. Less rope on the drum is easier to handle/manage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    All over the Road!

    You’re in a 2010 with an original front track bar? I’d wager a dollar that is shot. They’re wear items, not meant to last for ever. There’s also a joint in the steering shaft with a rubber bushing in it (inside the dash/steering column). When the rubber breaks down it introduces a lot of play...

    Broken winch terminal

    If you have to do it solo, try to find a gentle uphill grade to get some tension on the line. If all you have to work with is flat ground, you can lightly set the parking brake. With a partner, they can sit in the driver seat and lightly apply the service brakes. Painting the wire rope is a...

    Power Wagons ... Post em up!

    I don’t have any advice on a Rough Country kit beyond explaining why the same box of parts is called a 6” kit for 2500 and a 4.5” kit for a Power Wagon. A PW rides 1.5” higher than a factory 2500 thanks to taller springs. The OEM rear track bar is poorly designed. Don’s bar has a bracket that...

    2018 Power Wagon Front end noise

    The reason I ask is that with the maneuvers and driving surfaces you’re describing, it sounds like normal tire scrub/slip that has to happen when turning in 4WD (even more so when a diff or diffs are locked). Even in 2WD, a sharp enough turn can get the LSD to start trying to work. If you...

    Power Wagons ... Post em up!

    People make “4.5” lifts” for Power Wagons because they’re 6” kits for regular 2500s. For the 2014+ trucks Thuren only offers 2” and 3” options for the front (0.5” and 1.5” on PWs) and one rear setup that’s dead level with a 3” front, or gives a little rake with a 2” front. I wouldn’t count on...

    Lock lockers at will - Need a NYC test truck

    The front gives people so much “trouble” because the rear has to lock first. Once the rear is locked, two tires have to slip in order to turn, and turning is generally how people are trying to get differential action to the locker. On a high traction surface with the rear locked, it’s difficult...

    Lock lockers at will - Need a NYC test truck

    For lockers: 4LO, under 3mph to engage. Rear has to lock before the front. It’s in your owners manual if you’d care to read it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Front/Rear Diff Locker Issue

    Check for water intrusion in the smart bar electrical connector first. Sometimes it’s an easy fix of cleaning/drying it out, applying some dielectric grease. Have also heard of bent pins in that connector causing this. Look for the easy/cheap causes before looking at the whole smarbar module as...

    Squeaking rear 4-link bushings - 2018 Power Wagon

    They are included in the kits that require them, or you can get them a la carte if you’re piecing something together. The larger frame bracket gives you a little more slack in the cable, and the smaller lower control arm bracket pulls the cable off the aluminum shock reservoir so it doesn’t...

    Anyone Seen the All Black Wheel Option?

    Didn’t know all black wheels was an option. They rolled them out last year on the limited/special edition tan trucks. Could just be a glitch on the build/price tool, it’s probably worth a call to your dealer to find out if you really can get them if that’s what you really want. Sent from my...

    New PW. Vibration at highway speed

    Ever drove a truck on tires with aggressive tread? Honestly could just be brand new knobby tires. If the tires have any defect at all (hard to balance, flat spots, out of round), take that as an opportunity to ditch them. The **OEM** Duratracs are notoriously garbage tires that puncture just...

    Randy Ellis Design Light bar

    Can use tamper resistant bolts, or socket head fasteners and fill the sockets with epoxy or similar. Nothing is 100% theft proof, but you can slow down the amateurs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
