Yes its included in the checklist but there are a couple dedicated threads on the ole tire pressure topic that may yield better results for you than rehashing them here.

Recommended Tire Pressure dropped from 2017 2500 (20s) to 2022 2500 (20s)???

I traded in my '17 2500 Laramie 6.4 on OEM 20s for my '22 2500 Laramie 6.7 on OEM 20s and noticed the tire pressure door card says 65 PSI all around. I'd swear my '17 (did have 5th wheel tow prep package - my '22 does not) was 80psi all around. I saw that my truck was delivered with >80psi in...

Ideal tire pressure for the 285/60/20 tires

I know this is info is all over the place, buried in different posts, so forgive me for starting a new post. I just wanted to have it in one place so someone can search and find it easily in the future. That said, what have you find the best tire pressure for these tires (yes, I am...

Anyone know if the front license plate bracket is included with all trucks? My EL has it listed as delete so I am unsure if I should expect it placed in the vehicle.

Are mudflaps typically installed on all DRW's? Or is that a state specific requirement?

Where is the def level indicated?

I think the mud flaps are per state, as some states require them (TX being one, so dealer installed them).

There is a gauge on the bottom-left are of the dash that shows DEF level

Updated a few things on the checklist/guide.

1. Are there any Power Wagon specific things or items that it would be helpful to know?
2. New diesel owners things that would be helpful to know?

This may be trim level dependent and don't recall it on the list, but my truck had the electric pedal adjustment.

Again maybe trim dependent, mine has the exhaust brake adjustment that could use to be checked to make the it can be adjusted.

Pedal adjust is already there and I will add exh brake.

I have a truck ordered through MD in Louisiana. This is a “no front license plate” state.
The front plate is automatically deleted unless you tell the dealer that you want it.

I have to get one for Missouri. They are free when ordering, but the dealer will charge you for it (about $30 in my case) if not “ordered” with the truck

Winch set up, and that you have the controller, would be the only PW specific things I can think of. Unless you want to test locker functionality as well.

Yep, could probably go about trying to see if that too works if one sees fit.

Added. If its like my Rubicon its really easy to check.

Something to check if you have the 5th wheel prep:

I found the mount points on the frame were not centered in the holes of the bed. Basically, the bed needs to move about a 1/2 inch forward on the frame rails. It should be a fairly simple process to loosen the 8 bolts underneath, then muscle the bed into a better position, then retighten everything. I'm letting the dealer take care of it next week.

I will add that thanks

Is your bed currently misaligned with the cab too?

Bed vs cab is mainly the forward/back axis that needs to adjust. Also looks a little bit to the left.

This is also seen at the gap between the bed and cab. The rubber piece has some space on the left side that probably shouldn’t be there.

I need to inspect this, buddy has a lift if it’s an issue.
