    Dethloff trans skid vibration?

    I don't believe it is right to have such a long wait for parts as I've asked my customers to sit through. This is exactly why I stopped taking backorders. I am currently working on the existing orders. I also have a very long list of guys that have reached out wanting to order a skid plate...

    Dethloff trans skid vibration?

    Cool! Still may have been the nut plate vibrating against the motor mount, it's harmless if that is the case. Let me know if the nuisance noise sticks around. Correct that is the current machined nut plate. Looks like yours has a tiny bit of contact. That looks normal (hitting bumps will move...

    Dethloff trans skid vibration?

    I'm being up front about some points raised in this thread. I am working 7 days a week, and sometimes I put time into things outside the fab shop, generally on my weekends. I am preventing these same wait times from occurring in the future while working to catch up. There also has to be a degree...

    Dethloff trans skid vibration?

    Hey guys! I want to check into the vibration thing, and answer the timing/communication concerns here, very valid! Per the vibration: A few years ago Chrysler changed the motor mounts on the 6.4 Hemi to a larger version and I changed the mounting on one of the engine mounts to using an in-house...

    2018 Power Wagon on Toyo MT 35x12.5 w/AEV wheels

    On the 14-18 trucks we can fit a 35" spare tire under the bed by deflating it to around 20psi and stuffing it against the tow hitch, with minor rubbing against the rear trackbar. The 19's have some changes and I don't know if that rear layout is exactly the same. You'd need to take a peek under...

    Replacement Leaf Suggestions

    What kind of weight are you looking at in the rear of the truck? I ran Thuren shackles on stock leaves on my '11 for a few years. Just this weekend that truck got Thuren's LT Leaves, which look to place the truck at that same exact ride height but with a pinch softer spring rate than my old...

    2018 Power Wagon Front end noise

    Sounds like a tire rubbing against either the plastic fender liner, the swaybar or the radius arm bolt. I would go with the plastic fender liner. When you turn all the way, and especially if you are articulated, the tire will get quite close to that fender liner. If that's the case it's a super...

    Priorities

    If you tow 9k you need to know what your tongue weight is, at that size trailers can vary a lot especially with full water tanks. Do the thuren rear trackbar 100%, anything else is preference. You don’t need Boogie Bumps if you aren’t hitting your bump stops. They’re amazing if you are. You...

    Dethloff skid plate

    Exactly what Low_Sky said! I could have worded that more clearly. I don't make differential guards but I do sell and support Thuren suspension. Last year at Moab we saw every truck that was running BOTH a rear diff guard and some brand of extended rear swaybar links was having the rear swaybar...

    Dethloff skid plate

    I just released the rear swaybar spacers for guys running extended swaybar links and a rear diff guard (like thuren links and a purple cranium guard). Keeps the swaybar from smashing into the diff guard, seen some problems from that. Just finished up the plug-and-play hydro assist kits for the...

    Thuren vs Carli 3" front springs

    You should hit Don Thuren up directly on that one. You want your shocks to be valved to match the springs they're paired with, and you want the front and rear axles to be matched to each other. Maybe running Carli valved rear shocks with their coils, and doing Thuren front shocks/springs would...

    Frame Mounted Rock Rails for Power Wagon

    I recommend the White Knuckles all the time, I've personally seen them abused on several trucks and never seen an issue with them. I don't know of a single failure, fitment issue, etc. with them. Most of the trucks at Power Wagons in Moab run the WK's.

    Bed Cover/Rack System

    I'm kind of curious as to what you'd like to do with the rack and the cover? I make these racks for the Dodges, keeps the height just right and the crossbars are removable. But are you also wanting to park the RZR on top of the truck? Or are you towing the RZR and letting the rack be totally...

    Dethloff skid plate

    I haven't seen the mounting system for the White Knuckles on a 1500 but the exterior looks identical to the 2500/3500 variant and I imagine the mounting is really similar. I really like the WK sliders and I recommend them all the time, I have personally seen them hold up to some serious abuse on...

    Dethloff skid plate

    Hey guys, I wanted to pop in here and give a little update and get some feedback! The skid plate does reduce clearance a little, right in the center of the truck. However in the times I have seen the skid plate get hit, usually if the skid wasn't there then the exhaust crossover pipe would have...
