    Brakes

    I want to add that I think the factory pads use a harder friction material designed for longevity and in doing so the pads may be very tough on the rotors. My new PowerStop pads bite much better, and also dust my rims quicker, which will probably mean shorter pad life.

    Time for brakes

    I just did PowerStop pads on my truck with some Napa rotors. Noticeable difference in braking performance.

    All-Terrain tire life on HD trucks

    You have to really pay attention to air pressure. With the stupid TPMS light setting everyone who's driving an empty 3/4 or 1 ton truck is driving around on overinflated tires. I really liked the feature on my old 2010 Ram 2500 that had a button for "light load" so you could run a lower a tire...

    Brakes

    I just did the brakes on my 2015 Power Wagon with a tad over 60,000 miles. It has all the same components as your truck and I live in southeastern Massachusetts so we get some snow. My rotors had some pitting also but not like yours. The metal backing plates on the pads themselves had rusted...

    New power wagon for me

    Patriot Blue Power Wagon- Awesome! Plum Crazy Scat Pack Charger- Awesome! A decent photo of either one- Major Fail! As a punishment you need to go out and get some good photos of both. Preferably with the Wagon flexing and the Charger burning tires. If you produce those pics we shall forgive...

    Mobil 1? Why not?

    I have a lifetime warranty and don't want any trouble with it being honored in the event of an engine failure. Therefore, I run Penzoil 0W40 on a 5,000 mile change interval. No other oil is certified to meet the proper MS-12633 spec set forth by Ram. Amsoil claims their Signature Series 0W40 can...

    A lot more engine noise-manifold bolts?

    Hopefully it's not the dreaded lifter failure.

    Suspension Tire (tall) / Wheel Package “15” CTD 2500

    Let me start off by saying sorry about the loss of your Brother Firefighter. Secondly I'd recommend looking into a company like Carli or Thuren for your suspension needs. By utilizing their front springs you’ll gain a some lift but also improve ride quality. You shouldn't need to touch the rear...

    What brakes you guys running?

    I just did the front brakes on my 2015 Power Wagon today. My original intent was just to get some better braking performance from the PowerStop pads I've heard so much about. The stock pads still had at about 50% material left but when I pulled apart the front I was glad I decided to do this...

    2021 75th Anniversary PW Ordered

    It's not just Ram. My buddy ordered a Super Duty Tremor in early march and his dealer kept stringing him along saying it would be built soon. They finally let him know last week that due to dealer allocation his truck was now going to built as a 2022 model year. Unfortunately production doesn’t...

    Trying to purchase this PW - curious if anyone knows it?

    A regular 2500 has a higher payload.

    Question on Replacing Serpentine Belts on 6.4 Dual Alternator.

    My truck is coming up on 6 years old and just over 60,000 and I'm going to be doing a front to back fluid and filter change on my truck. I was thinking about swapping the engine belts out as well and keeping the old ones for spares. I'm going to be doing some off grid overlanding and want the...

    Tire time

    I considering new tires at the moment as well. Probably going to be Toyo AT3 or Falken Wildpeak AT3W. I've had great luck with Toyo's so probably go with them again.

    Brakes?

    Probably not the brakes then. What kind of tires you run? Aggressive block tread like M/T tires have can be rumbly as you come to a stop. How about the front axle u-joints? Have they been submerged in water and the needle bearing are rusting up?

    how about no tip?

    I sprayed my tailpipe and resonator with high heat black grill paint when I bought the truck back in 2015. It's still holding up fine 6 years later and it helped to "hide" the resonator because it now blends in with the other black chassis componenets.

    How Many Miles on you 6.4 Hemi??????

    I agree 100%. I'm going to doing some brake work in the near future and that will get done also.

    61,000 miles on my 6.4 using PUP 0w40 and so far so good. Going to be changing diff oil, transfer case oil, air filter, cabin filter, and power steering fluid this week.

    Duratrac 35x12.5 question

    Imho, Duratracs are a great Jeep tire but a lousy Power Wagon tire. Our trucks do well with Toyo tires and Toyo has been the go to tire for many of us over the years. I'm running the AT2 with good tread wear and handling. Whatever tire you get the key is to run a much lower pressure than factory...

    Hemi engine noise question

    Two types noises are being described here in this conversation. First type would be what the OP did not likely hear and that’s s the normal Hemi tick. Which is sort of faint, but sometimes a little louder than faint, especially in the winter when the engine is cold started, but then goes back to...

    Simple Job with Random Problem

    I wonder if it's added to increase rigidity of the rocker panel to reduce flex when the driver uses his side steps to get in and out of the truck. Does anyone know if instructions for actual Mopar steps call for discarding the bracket?

    Tonneau cover or topper?

    I'm using a locking Retrax cover that's made of aluminum slats that roll up as you open in. It's pretty heavy duty and more secure than a vinyl cover but anything can be forced open if someone is determined to steal your stuff.
