    Powerwagon with Cummins

    Ford considers the jellybean EV a "Mustang". Does that make it a "real" Mustang? I didn't forget, I just think that was a mistake. It dilutes the name, and it makes shopping online harder when Rebels clog up the PW search results. Rebel should have continued to be it's own trim level like in...

    Powerwagon with Cummins

    It's a Rebel with a front locker and antisway bar disconnect. It costs them nothing to offer, it's all off the shelf parts that require no new R&D or certifications. It competes directly with the F-250 Tremor diesel, though Ford figured out how to have a diesel *and* a winch which continues to...

    2026 Vs 2018 Early Observations

    Close numbers because they are in the same family, but most of the guts are different. Same gear ratios, though, just beefed up to take the extra torque. The ZFs are also different. ZF 8AP for diesels and 8HP for gas. Given that diesels are slightly more than double the torque specs of gas...

    2026 Vs 2018 Early Observations

    The Power Wagon never had the 68RFE, that was for diesels. 66RFE is what's in the 2012-2018 PW, then the ZF in '19. So you guys are talking about different transmissions.

    Poor heat output

    Mechanically or chemically. Mechanically, you disconnect the heater hoses and going against the normal flow direction use a garden hose and/or low pressure air compressor to push stuff out. Chemically you put some RMI-25 in the system, it latches on to the stuff causing the blockage and then...

    Fuel filter??

    It's a diesel, isn't it? Low pressure pump in the tank, then a high pressure pump up before the injectors. The fuel filter is on the low pressure line.

    Fuel filter??

    Modern fuel injection is very high PSI compared to Ye Olden Tymes, I don't think anything has a serviceable filter outside the tank any longer.

    Let's talk tires

    Power Wagons don't need a lift for 37's, but do need different rims than stock and you *may* have to do a little trimming of a pinch weld. Plenty of Youtube videos showing where to trim if you need to. CJC offroad has Method rims with the correct offset to run 37s, and I'm sure others do as...

    Poor heat output

    Small passages and sediment. It's debated if it's casting sand or precipitate from the coolant.

    Poor heat output

    Flush your heater core first. By far, the more common failure on 6.4L trucks is clogged heater cores and the first symptom is less heat on the driver's side.

    Transmission inconsistencies

    I'd give that a go, then. I'm going with the AEV snap myself once I order my 35". I don't care about all the other stuff alphaOBD does nor do I want the complexity of dealing with changing all the settings through that interface, getting the extra cables, etc. I think the AEV looks much...

    Transmission inconsistencies

    Did you reprogram the truck to know that? Something like the AEV prosnap?

    Google is updating Android Auto to fit all screen sizes!

    For those using the AI box, how is music sound quality affected from streaming services?

    Adding 360 cameras or just a front view

    I know they have inaccuracies, but it's been like that for years on the CAN site with the US site being correct. I took them at their word, but obviously incorrectly.

    Adding 360 cameras or just a front view

    Go to the build and price on the Canadian website and build a Power Wagon. It's an option under "Options and Technology". If it's in error, it's one they've made for several years. https://www.ramtruck.ca/en 2025: 2024 and 2023:
