    A new Gremlin in 12” screen

    So this morning I’m greeted with the screen having lost its ability to control HVAC properly. No controls for the dual zone auto, just one sliding temperature bar on the left in place of the numerical temperature setting. Picture coming below. It blows hot out the passenger vent and cold on the...

    22 Power Wagon code P061A

    The vehicle: 2022 Power Wagon. 16k miles. All stock other than 35" tires and Amp steps. No previous repairs or issues, other than it will frequently put up an error message in the cluster about stability control faults when operating off-road. My 2019 PW did the same, and my 2022 Wrangler is...

    Strike to impact repair parts availability?

    From the Detroit Free Press. “So on Friday, the UAW expanded its week-old strike to include 38 of GM and Stellantis parts distribution centers across the nation, shutting down the facilities that deliver the parts that car dealers need to make repairs to customers' cars.”...

    “Update Status” on the main page is confusing to newcomers.

    I see a regular occurrence of newcomers to the forum posting questions about their vehicle problems as status updates. Which seldom elicit a response because it’s not in the correct forum area. My .02 the design to invite status updates so prominently is probably costing you some new members...

    12” UConnect where to find LTE signal quality?

    Recently I enabled the WiFi hotspot in the truck through AT&T. It works fine… BUT- I haven’t found anything in the display to tell me if the truck is online, or has moved out of cell coverage. Which I do often, in my typical backcountry environment. I’m used to seeing in other vehicles a...

    More competition coming from GM for the PW

    OK, RAM, it’s time to up your game. Now both Ford and GM are offering real competitive trucks with 35’s from the factory. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2024-chevrolet-silverado-hd-zr2-and-zr2-bison-first-look-review/ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_eSVASG5EfQ&pp=ygUJVGZsIHRydWNr

    What’s your favorite flavor of cordless tools?

    I have been full circle on this topic myself. Decades back I bought an 18v Makita drill / driver when they were fairly new to the market. I have abused it many times doing things it really shouldn’t like hole saws and concrete drilling yet it has never faltered. These days I no longer use tools...

    4 stage OCD Rust Prevention

    Yeah, I admit it. Feel free to suggest step 5 if you have one! The backstory on why I do this is our migratory living pattern. Often in the west where gravel roads and high speeds will sandblast the paint from your rocker panels. Not a problem if you stay out there in the dry desert. But then...

    Out with the old, in with the new!

    Haven't posted much in a while; last year I succumbed to the temptation to get a quote on my 2019 from CarMax. Couldn't say no after that, as I got more than I paid new. Crazy. Here's the old flame, on the trail in Utah. After a summer fling with a Jeep, I just had to get back in a truck...

    Circus at the tire shop

    Circus isn’t the BEST term, but I’m trying to keep this clean… Made an appointment days ago for a puncture repair, rotate and balance. I bought these BFG’s last year with lifetime coverage on all that. Two hours in after me showing up at the appointed time, all I have is a patch done. Truck...

    A Power Wagon & a PowerStroke stop at a red light...

    Childish; yes! Am I old enough to know better? Yes! So today I’m in the right lane when he rolled up on the left. Late model PS. Seems to be the impatient sort, he moves up a couple of times on the red. I’m cool, no need to show off, I’m just driving away on the green. No big deal. Just as he...

    Looking for a Hoe!

    That’s right, I’m considering the purchase of a Chevy. If any of you have paid for Hoes, ridden Hoes, or have any particular knowledge on the topic please share your thoughts. The ones I’m focusing on are the GMT900 series Tahoe / Yukon 2007-2014. Might go newer if I need to. I have to plead...

    Transmission dropped out of gear???

    So today, while turning a tight 180 in a parking lot, in mid turn the engine revved up and I lost momentum. The shifter has the D light on but it’s flashing. Gas it and it’s obviously in neutral. No go. The dash display says “shift to Park then select a gear”. What. The. Hell??? I shifted to P...

    Clunk / surge on deceleration when stopping?

    Hello all; Power Wagon, 2019, with 11k miles. All stock other than 35” tires. Earlier this week, while braking to a stop, just before reaching the stop I got a major driveline clunk and even what felt like tapping the gas (I didn’t) or getting tapped in the rear (I was the only vehicle on the...

    Electronic Gremlins are becoming tiresome

    Today’s event was “camera system unavailable”. Occurred on startup in the middle of the afternoon. Shifted in and out of reverse, no bueno. Tried the surround cam icon repeatedly, not available. Went away on the next start later the same day. For context, the truck has intermittent glitches...

    FCA: I want a SHIFT LEVER!

    Spending the last month doing a lot of off roading has changed my perspective on the rotary shifter. Mainly because of what it brought with it, those damn steering wheel mounted range selection switches. That stuff is no big deal when you’re on the highway, where gear changes are seldom and the...

    Power Wagon *near* Moab

    I always enjoy the pictures others share, but I admit to being lazy and rarely doing it myself. Here’s a few coming from this summer in Utah. I say “near” because we’re in the vicinity but over the years I’ve become less enamored of Moab proper. Too many people. Anyhow, here’s a mountain shot...

    Yesterday Yuccas, Today tire shopping

    Yesterday while roaming some desert trails one of the BadYears took a spine in the sidewall, so today I’ll be tire shopping. I’ll take the opportunity to upsize while I’m at it. Here’s hoping availability is not going to be a problem, lots of other items I’ve ordered lately seem to be taking...

    Air Dam yes/no (Power Wagon)

    Doing some work under the truck today and I got to contemplating whether to remove the plastic air dam or not... no doubt that thing is not good for approach angle. For off road operation it seems a no brainer. And yet, fact is it’s on pavement most of the time, and if I’m doing a nasty trail...

    6.4 tested on the Ike

    Here’s what we’ve been waiting for. Falls in the middle; slower than the Ford 7.3 and faster than the gas GM. Thumbs down to TFL for the poor audio quality on this video. Not typical of their work.

    What's your thoughts on the Bilstein OEM shocks?

    Hey, guys, as I'm getting more used to the PW, and of course the first infatuation starts to fade, I find myself wondering if these shocks are the best. It seems to me the ride is "busy", for lack of a better term. Lots of small motions and feeling more road imperfections than I recall from my...

    Resonates or rumbles at 80 mph?

    Anyone else experience this? First time with this truck I’ve had the opportunity to take a run down the interstate. I get a rumbling or resonance coming in around 78-82 mph. Mostly noticeable when on the gas or steady cruise. If I go faster it goes away. I don’t hear it coasting down through...

    Looking for storage ideas; need to carry a SxS in the bed too...

    Hey, I'm beating the bushes for ideas on how to carry all my gear and still be able to carry a 50" wide Polaris in the truck bed. The Polaris will need the full length of the bed from the front of the bed to the back of the lowered tailgate when it's on board. The gear I carry is a high-lift...

    So... how much hardware is missing from my factory side steps?

    Preamble- from my inspection it seems the 1500 and HD trucks for 2019 use different mountings for side steps, so this thread applies to HD specifically. (Classics might be the same, I haven't checked) Issue 1: Today I'm under the truck closing up the taped over holes in the rockers, and I noted...

    Cover those rocker panel holes!

    I was disappointed to look under my truck and find FCA cheaped out and covered large holes on the inner side of the rocker with ductape. And cheap tape at that, the edges are lifting on a brand new truck. I searched and found some mentions back a few years, but no solution and nothing since...
