    Wagoneer WDH

    Lots of people telling you what you don't need here. Are you towing 50 miles to the lake and back 3 times a year, or are you leaving for 6 weeks at a time and towing constantly? If it isn't the first one then anything and everything you can do to make your towing easier is well advised. I had...

    Suggestions for 'Sway Bar Disconnect Unavailable' message?

    Somebody, I don't remember who makes a manual control for the oem disconnect. I know lots of people have had problems with them, I've had 4 and luckily none have failed.

    2024 Tradesman Power Wagon

    Great trucks, I ordered the 2021 in my avatar and bought the unseen 2024 off a dealer lot. The 2024 replaces my 2020 Gladiator which was never enough truck for long duration trips, nor did it ever have the power to pull my 3000lb trailer. The PW equipment package is high value in my opinion. If...

    Add Rear Floor Storage Boxes to Tradesman?

    I had them in my 2016 Tradesman. I kept never needed recovery gear in them, they are not convenient to access on the regular. If I had them in my 2024 I'd be happy and put something in them, but I wouldn't go to any measurable expense or hardship to get them. That said it looks like it can be...

    Beth - the every man 4.5 Power Wagon

    That has more to do with 80mph on 4.10's than the trailer i think

    Beth - the every man 4.5 Power Wagon

    My second TPW, first being a 2021 (avatar photo) TPW is to me closer to the original spirit of the Power Wagon than the Power Wagon trim level is. PW came into this world as a pure utility vehicle.. I think they screwed up not making the 75th Anniversary model as a TPW with flat paint and steel...

    Bed Step Quality for HD Ram

    I bought this one of $83 on Amazon , it is as far as I can tell indistinguishable from the FCA oem unit, with the exception of the hardware which are not typical FCA, and the instructions (with FCA library/part #'s) is a photocopy not an original printing. At the time I ordered it there were at...

    Bed Steps Comparison

    Bed step recall , that was 2020. The failure was in a welded steel brace. That brace is pretty substantial. That said, who knows. I could see a 350 pounder folding that thing up like a Dollar Store lawn chair

    Bed Steps Comparison

    $115 is still one third the realistic street price for the one in oem packaging. If you have prime it ships free, I couldn't find one in oem packaging that I didn't have to pay freight of $30-40 . So when you factor in freight it is closer to one quarter than one third the price. The only...

    2024 2500 Tradesman with Power Wagon group

    Yes that is what I'm saying. I have had 1-3.73 and 2-4.10 , according to my driving style (not necessarily yours or anyone else) I rarely see the MDS activated. I'm perfectly happy with the function of the MDS, so much so in fact I don't care if it ever comes on, as long as it doesn't throw a...

    2024 2500 Tradesman with Power Wagon group

    It does display "eco" on the dash when MDS is activated....... Which is pretty infrequently with 4.10's I have had now 3 6.4's with MDS 2016, 2021, 2024 and have had no issues with any of them other than a mouse ate the wires off of an MDS solenoid under the intake on the 2016.
