Rock sliders installed

[AnthonyD1978]

I ran white knuckle sliders on my 5th gen 1500 too. They saved me from damage on a few occasions. I just installed their set for the PW. Transmission skid plate should be here tomorrow and then my truck protection should be complete for the most part.

Interested to hear if you have any odd vibrations/harmonics with them. There are reports of them not playing nice with the AMM. I really want to get some though so I'm hopeful.

Man, those are sweet and they make them for the 2019 3500 long bed wheel to wheel, I might have to talk myself into that price tag!

None so far. Same with my 1500 that had the AMM as well.

I'm not sure of all the details of the AMM, but the sliders may help absorb vibrations...?

Look nice. Are those frame mounted?

Yes, the slider and some backing plates sandwich the frame. Each slider weighs about 130 pounds.

what do your 35" duratracs measure actual height when parked on flat surface? I might have asked already but having a senior moment.

Front - 33 3/4"
Rear - 34"

That's with 839 pounds left on my max payload.

No vibrations/harmonics for my white knuckle sliders on my 2020 Power Wagon. I had to grind down one washer that was making contact with the cab and caused really horrible squeaking.

just ordered mine last week, they are about 45 minutes away from where I live.

Yeah, they mention that squeak in the instructions. I've yet to hear it. Really tight tolerances in some places.

That rear top bolt above the gas tank is the hardest one. If I remember correctly, I was able to get a really long wrench up between the gas tank and the skid plate bracket. Honestly wish I could have gotten that tighter, but I'm not dropping my gas tank for that bolt. It would save a lot of time if the nuts were already spot welded onto the backing plates...

I got the squeak after I installed mine. Followed their directions to resolve, and it hasn’t come back.

On my 19 they cause vibration at low rpm, I unplugged the dampers and it solved the problem but caused an error message everytime i start the truck
