    PW estimate

    I HAD to take this offer, it was within $8,000 of my original purchase price! I'll be contented with my old car for a while (and a fat bank account).

    PW estimate

    I hear you! For that kind of cash, I was thinking of driving a beater for a while!

    PW estimate

    I've been curious about what I could get for my 2018 PW, so I took it to Carmax this afternoon. The offer is very tempting. They offered me $49,100. I was shocked it was so high. Is the shortage of used trucks driving these prices? I love the PW, but am thinking seriously of selling. Just...

    Pavement Queen

    Curious about how much "off road" your PW sees. Provide your general location too. I wonder if where you are in the country has an influence on your response. For me: > 99% pavement; < 1% off road. southeast US.

    2018 Brake Bleeding

    Is the procedure for bleeding the brakes on a 2018 PW different than any other car or truck? The ABS module on my truck needs to be replaced and I was thinking of doing it myself. However, I thought I read somewhere that bleeding the lines is different.

    Expedition One Rear Bumper

    Thank you. That is EXACTLY what I was after!

    Normal Power Wagon handling?

    I've not noticed these issues. My truck feels tight and drives great. However, my newer BFG All Terrain tires provide a better ride than the OEM tires.

    Dethloff trans skid vibration?

    I purchased oil pan protection from Dethloff for my 2018 PW. I love it. No vibration after a year. Top notch work and glad to get it. I got great customer service and communication too. Just thought I'd add my experience. As a side note. I looked at the lead times for Expedition One rear...

    Expedition One Rear Bumper

    Anybody have experience with an Expedition One Rear Swing Out Tire Carrier/Bumper for the PW (https://www.expeditiononestore.com/RAM-25003500-RangeMax-Dual-Swing-Rear-Bumper-for-2010-18-_p_522.html)? I like the look, but the cost is about $3900 with shipping and the lead times are 3 to 6...

    Bypass Kit - Locker and Sway or Just Locker?

    I did both the locker and swaybar bypass at the same time. Nice addition to the truck! Go for both!

    Extra fuel revisted

    I've always wanted the Expedition bumper with spare rack and fuel can holder, but they are very expensive and the lead time is like 4 months. Yikes.

    Extra fuel revisted

    Thanks to everyone who chimed in. I'm using new Scepter fuel cans from the military with new gaskets. I think they will be sealed fine. I can crack a window in the topper and keep the fuel level lower for expansion.

    Extra fuel revisted

    My trip is cross country with most of the boondocking out west. I've traveled throughout Utah, Nevada and Southern California and always got nervous about getting stranded without fuel. That's why I'm wondering if carrying the fuel in the bed area is okay. Definitely want to have extra. The...

    Extra fuel revisted

    Need some opinions. I'm planning a long trip, with some boondocking off road. I'd like to carry extra fuel, but want to do it safely. I have 2 Sceptor fuel cans and 2 water cans in the back of my truck that is covered with cap. Is carrying 10 gallons of gasoline like this a bad idea? Or...

    New PW with clunking noises

    Nice investigative work! Is the mount loose? Or is it missing something inside to prevent that chatter? Brand new truck. Sheeessh!

    steering brace for power wagons

    I didn't see the hydroassist on the Dethloff website.

    Roof top tent on PW

    Slide in camper has become prohibitively expensive for me, so we are now considering a roof top tent. I have an ARE fiberglass top on my PW (2018) and was hoping that would provide sufficient support for the tent. Unfortunately, I didn't opt for the rack when I had the top made. I really...

    New PW with clunking noises

    I agree completely. I usually try to figure it out before going in, if possible. Indeed, if I can repair it, I'll do that too. I just don't trust the work of others. Good luck with the clunk.

    Slide-in camper

    Thank you all for the additional comments. I'm a bit of a stickler for making sure everything complies with the law. I really don't need to be liable for damaging from overloading the truck. Actually, I've been looking into the Ram Powermaster vans to convert into a camper. I wish they came...

    Service ABS System?

    I'd be curious to know what they find. I've been having the same issue with my 2018. The lights came on and I scanned it, but no codes. The lights went out after I disconnected the battery. They came back on about 4 days later, but went out on their own. Still okay about a week later. I...

    Slide-in camper

    Thank you all very much for these comments. Looks like the consensus is new truck to be safe. I like the Hawk too and it's a good weight for the PW, but we want a slide in with shower and toilet--the Hawk doesn't offer that. One poster is correct, 2000 lbs is light. After we looked more, the...

    Slide-in camper

    I'm wanting to get a slide-in camper, but I know that my 2018 PW won't carry one safely (according to the manual). Rather than trade-in the PW, can I reasonably upgrade the suspension to be able to carry the slide-in? The one I'm looking at is about 2000 pounds. Or, is it easier to get a 2500...

    ABS Service Required

    I checked all the ABS fuses and made sure none of the sensor wires were pinched. All okay. Then I decided to disconnect the battery for 20 minutes and see what happens. On the first start up after reconnecting the battery, the EVIC still had the ABS warning and the dash symbol ABS and...

    Need scan tool advice

    Looking for a scanner that can diagnose ABS problems on my 2018 PW. The internet has overwhelmed me. I'd like to keep it under $500. Need one that can identify specific problem, not just system.

    ABS Service Required

    Thank you all. I figure it might be a simple sensor on one of the wheels. What's the best scanner for this truck for under $500?
