    Power Wagon AMP XL Power Step

    I used the bestop units on my 2018 PW, the hardest part is finding the door activation wires in the harness under the left door sill panel. They work fine, I do not have the balancer on my PW. I also changed the lighting to a LED strip

    Casting Sand: 6.4 Hemi HD Coolant Filter

    Up Date: I called Mishimoto and discussed the installation of their kit on our Hemi's. They indicated that they have not performed installation on a Hemi, but could not see why it would not work. I have the kit now, problem is......I can't seem to find a flow diagram that tells you which way...

    Breather Holes in Hood

    to help pull in cold air to the intake on the hwy, I did this to my Power Wagon: I think the original question (IMHO) was to cool the engine bay. I been wondering how to evacuate the heat from under the hood myself. On my Jeep I used one of the top of the hood louvered plates...

    Free spin kit

    I am "old School" I like having freewheeling hubs. even though our trucks have the axle disconnect everything still rotates to some extent. Someone posted a link to the Ram-Man units. I do not recommend them; I went with them basically because I got lazy, and they were a real easy install...

    Casting Sand: 6.4 Hemi HD Coolant Filter

    I was looking at this, made for the Jeep JK models, I need to call Mishimoto to see if I could adapt it to the 6.4. Just need to know if it matters which direction the coolant flows

    Casting Sand: 6.4 Hemi HD Coolant Filter

    This is interesting, I was warned by a buddy of mine, he had the "sand" in his 3.6 Jeep Wrangler's oil. When I first got my Power Wagon (2018) I changed the oil after 1500 miles, found similar particles in my oil filter when I opened the oil filter, so needless to say the first three oil...

    Help! Another ABS discussion!

    I remember well the debacle they had with the Jeeps going off road and the horror stories. The other thing was the "rear air bags you installed were interfering with the TPS signal", after I looked at them like they had 10 heads they came up with the window tint. Plausible, maybe if it was...

    Help! Another ABS discussion!

    After advising both the dealer and Ramcares, I was told they could not address the problem any further "since my truck has been modified" they did not indicate what modification and I think they are forgetting about the: Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act Explained | AutoAnything Resource Center As a...

However, they did just contact me Friday afternoon, so I sure it will be a while be he/she contacts me. As a quick up-date, today I checked the connections at the bottom of the right fender behind the...

    6.4L rough idle at start

    2018 2500 Power Wagon, and yes mine too! Sounds like it is running only on 6 instead of 8, does the MDS lifters take longer to load with oil?

    Help! Another ABS discussion!

    I have 30,300 miles on my 2018 Power Wagon, the ABS-traction control-service brake message started over a about 6 months after I purchased the truck new, blinking and message randomly at first, finally happening every minute or so. Took it to the dealer, replaced the ABS module, a day later...

    Power wagon performance

    I understand the exhaust manifolds on our trucks is very restrictive, instead of installing headers, has anyone used the SRT (car) exhaust manifolds, I read that they flow much better than the truck manifolds.

    Exhaust

    When I first starting towing with the PW I would just leave it in "D" I found the tow mode not efficient and held the gears too long. I would get into 6th on flat portions of the highway, and eco mode when coasting. The most recent "pull" to the MOPAR nationals (Poconos to outside Columbus...

    Exhaust

    My 2 cents: 2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon; I installed a Magnaflow 19200 cat back system. Fit well, easily installed. Looks great! Sounds great. I wanted a free flow exhaust, for my pavement princess. I tow a travel trailer at some 9000 pounds loaded. It had a drone at around 2000 RPM, which...

    Aux Backup Light/Parking Assist Issue

    I replaced my rear bumper with a Warn unit. I installed two LED lights in the bumper. The LED lights when lit ( hooked them up to the trailer harness) would shut the parking sensors off and the truck would tell me the sensors were not available. I had to install a different LED lights under...

    Oil filter change on PW… dang!

    2018, what PIA to change the filter, I did not want to hang upside down and attempt from the top, so I change the filter from the bottom. I removed the drip tray so I could better access the filter, the first two times I took the sway bar bolts out so I could squeeze in to get the filter. I...

    do you have a name for your truck

    Yes I did, they are RamMan hubs, he appears to use stock Ford hubs, modified to fit our axles. They work, I am little dissatisfied with the actual hubs, they seem to be cheap knock offs of the OEM Ford units, and they are hard to get engaged. In addition I am not sure if they are interfacing...

    Bull Bar, Ranch Hand, any other aftermarket front end protection????

    As a side bar, the various replacement bumpers weigh in between 200 and 400 pounds, what are "yous guys" doing to keep the front end level or at stock height? Pucks? New Springs? Wonder if ACOS are available for the Rams?
