Check this place out I think they have a switch panel that replaced the cover in the lower left of the dash, next to the door. https://sdhqoffroad.com/collections/switch-panels

Had a visitor in the front yard this evening. I've seen him around with his harem of about 10. But never seen him in my yard before

My first trip across the line was in '87 when we did a world cruise, back when they still did a real initiation where they still beat you with shillelagh's. :p Crossed 4 times total. Last time across was '97. Made 4 deployments to the Gulf.

Sounds like you may have a partial clog in the coolant system somewhere. I pulled that same trailer with my PW up some steep hills at 6000Ft elevation and had no issues doing 60 MPH up them. Temps all stayed normal.

Sounds like a fun build. My only question is the need for the S&B CAI. Is it better than the OEM CAI on the truck now? Now that I'm past 100K miles and out of warranty on my '21, I've toyed with the thought of building the motor. Thanks for your service Brother

It all depends on what you need your truck to do. So far, my PW has done everything I've asked it to. Pull a 35 ft TT. Go off road in Baja. Get me thru mud and snow.

I have the gb40 plus boost. Got a dead battery that won't hold a charge in my Chevy truck. It starts it no problem. Can get 2 starts out of it. Never tried a third time, just recharged it

Just went and looked at the ad. Yep, that's the dealer on Oxnard I was talking about. Pushy salesman. They had a black and a white TRX. Told him I wanted a blue one. Said he didn't have one, so which one was I taking home, black or white. Said neither, I want a blue one so I'll order it. Nope...

I have a '21 Power Wagon. 106K miles on the hemi with no issues on the drive train And I drive it like I stole it. :cool: I pulled a 35 ft bumper pull at about 8K loaded. No issues, even when climbing steep hills. Granted, the PW comes with 4.10 gears, but I swapped the 33's for 35's.

Well, that would cost me way too much to try and do that. It's 30 miles into town and the nearest COSTCO. So once a year, I add a little air. And once a year, I let some air out. No big deal

Free is good Mine only loose air in the winter when temps drop to 30 and below. I'll loose about 10 PSI. If they want me to pay for the nitrogen, I'll pass. I run a after cooler and water collector between my pump and tank, so get no water in the tank. Also run a second water collector between...

Yep, dearler installed BS. So what touch screen did they install? It's got a touch screen from the factory. And it has a OEM security system/ tracker. They put nitrogen in the tires? Is that the nitro? Why? It's not a race car. If they are owned by the same company that is Crown Dodge in...

Why don't the OEMs use a cone style LSD like what Auburn gear makes? I've put them in a few axles. Love the way they work Basically locked up all the time. Will slip when turning so you don't drag the inside tire. But put a little throttle torque on it and it locks back up.

I've used my rear locker several times in mud and snow. Got into some soupy mud and almost didn't get out, even in 4 low and both axles locked. Used 4WD and rear locker to get up my driveway a few times in the snow.

Power Wagon still has the Torsen gear drive.
