    37" Spare Tire Holder???

    Currently have it tied down in the bed, which sucks because it takes up a ton of space as you noted. I do plan to break down and buy one of those swing-out hitch mounts eventually, I haven't really seen many other good options. I have a buddy with a RAM system than he mounts his on, but I don't...

    Should I buy a Power Wagon with high miles?

    I think RAM eventually realized there was a piece of this pie for them with new truck buyers that want a PW look and that's how we in the HD segment finally ended up with an HD 2500 RAM Rebel. Sans the winch it looks just like a Power Wagon. You can get the Cummins and keep the PW look if you...

    Power Wagons ... Post em up!

    Always enjoy taking the trail down from Big Bear to Pioneer Town into the desert. I need to need to take my Wagon on Berdoo Canyon into Joshua Tree... only done that one with my Land Cruiser so far... Gold Mountain is a fun trail up at BB though. I just like searching the trails for good...

    SoCal Mechanic / Shop Recommendations?

    Hey PW crew, I am looking for recommendations for shops in Southern California that would be up to the task of working on a 2017 Power Wagon. I thought Jeep specialty shops would be a good bet but a few that I called hadn't even heard of the Power Wagon(!!). This is specifically for the dreaded...

    PW Locker Problem Data Compilation

    I know you are under warranty, but did they say what it would have cost you out of pocket? My dealer didn't want to attempt fixing the actuator and was trying to talk me into buying an entire axle for ~$4k. Told them to pound sand.

    PW Locker Problem Data Compilation

    2017 PW 101K Miles Issue: The lights are flashing on the locker knob once I've been out and driving around for ~15 min. Diagnosis: Dealer told me they would not be able to fully diagnosis without me buying stuff to try-- for example a $600 sensor, or on the high end they wanted me to buy a...

    Buying used 100k miles?

    Yeah, it's wild hearing some of these mileage / value concerns on the heavy-duty forum. I like my 2017 PW, but I also have been a longtime Toyota Land Cruiser owner and, in that community, people routinely pay good money for well-kept Land Cruisers with 200K+ miles on them without batting an...

    Ordered 35's , now second guessing myself

    You're overthinking it. I went from very heavy Mud Terrain 35s to light All Terrain 37s (KO2s) and didn't notice a difference.

    When does 2023 pw model release?

    Who were you trying to do your factory order from? Mark Dodge (LA) is still taking 2023 orders last I heard.. Edit: Is that your 2021 in your avatar? You want the new sport hood and digital cluster that bad to trade-up to a 2023? Wish I could afford to upgrade that often, more power to ya mate :D!

    66rfe sonnax line pressure booster installed

    Thanks, @buckeyexx -- that's very helpful! Did you trade into another 66RFE with the Power Wagon? I'm not having any issues with my 2017 yet, but I am on the verge of sinking a bunch of money into the truck with suspension and other goodies and starting to have second thoughts. It really seems...

    66rfe sonnax line pressure booster installed

    How's your transmission been behaving with the upgraded parts? Mind if I ask ballpark how much it ran for the Sonnax parts + install?

    66rfe to 8hp70 swap

    Appreciate the data points! Sounds like you will end up with a robust unit, not cheap, but quality costs. I'm also at 100K on the odometer, no issues yet but if I keep it long term rather than trying to trade-up to a 2019+ I'll probably be doing many of the same Sonnax upgrades. Cost aside, my...

    66rfe to 8hp70 swap

    @Grand Mesa are your getting an OEM 66RFE rebuild, or they're improving upon the original design with aftermarket parts like Sonnax?

    66rfe to 8hp70 swap

    2017 PW Here, and not currently having issues but it is always floating in the back of my mind. After researching it my conclusion is that it would be cheaper and less hassle to sell your 66RFE wagon and buy a new one with the ZF 8speed. Not what you want to hear, I know.

    Hub-centric Spacers on Stock Wheels for 37s

    I probably will. I have a Land Cruiser I use as the primary family rig, but occasionally I do load up the Power Wagon with the family... so even though I think a quality setup like the BORA would be reasonably reliable (I had zero issues in the past with Jeeps in Moab, but that isn't an HD...

    Hub-centric Spacers on Stock Wheels for 37s

    Thanks for the input everyone! Sounds like if the stock wheels are +57mm offset then I'd probably want to go with the ~1.5in (38mm) BORA spacers? Unless I am doing some stupid maths there.. As a few have pointed out, quality spacers are not cheap (~$130 per) so I might just spend the extra $$$...

    Hub-centric Spacers on Stock Wheels for 37s

    Hey all, Has anyone run quality hub-centric spacers (ie: BORA, Spidertraxx) on the stock PW wheels to fit 37s? I know for aftermarket wheels +18 to +25 offset is ideal to fit 37s. If I went that route I'd likely going with AEVs, Methods, or Racline wheels with those specs. However, I...

    Replacing 2017 2500 Tail Lamp (LED), wiring connector stuck?

    Just closing the loop on this thread -- I know it is a boring one but maybe it will be useful if another member ever searches on this topic. Per @RedSRT4Me I got a small saucer of Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol, basically) and had to dip part of the connector several times before the red...

    Replacing 2017 2500 Tail Lamp (LED), wiring connector stuck?

    Chris, thanks for the reply :cheers: That is what I have been doing with a flathead but it wasn't moving and started to crack, so I thought maybe I had it wrong. Won't budget even with needle nose pliers pulling on it. Any suggestions on a safe cleaner or lubricant to try and loosen it with...

    Replacing 2017 2500 Tail Lamp (LED), wiring connector stuck?

    Ok, this is probably a stupid question but I don't want to damage a wiring connector on my truck so here it goes... The driver's side tail lamp (OEM led version) on my RAM 2500 Power Wagon cracked while off-roading, so I bought a new MOPAR tail LED lamp unit to replace it with. My question...
