Side to side.
Installed a Thuren rear track bar last year.
Bushing I don't know. Can't see anything wrong.
I want to take a good look at them when I get time. Got rain/snow coming this week. Truck is too long to fit in the garage.
Ok, got about 1000 miles on the Bilstein shocks now.
Was good and solid for the first few hundred miles.
Now I have some of the rocking boat action back. :rolleyes:
Thinking of going ahead and figuring out best way to put a schrader valve on the Fox shocks and rebuilding them and putting them...
It's probably been done already.
It's like the lady that spilled her HOT coffee in her lap and sued McD for a million and won.
Why are we rewarding stupid people?
All I can say is blame the lawyers. They've sued the companies so much for BS that the companies are scared and covering their ass.
That's one of the reasons the tire pressure on the door is a joke. The recommended pressure on there is for a maxed out loaded truck. Who drives around with their...
What if you used a more open skid plate like the OEM on the Power Wagon?
It's more tubes than a big plate. Allows more airflow but keeps out the big stuff.
Started as a Airdale. Wanted to work on planes. Got sent to school to be a TD and work on flight simulators. Did too good in school and they sent me to the forest in Fla to work on Russian missile systems used for training pilots during war games. Got rid of the TD rate in '85, so I swapped to...

Tin can sailor myself. Leahy and spruance class with a Forest Sherman thrown in for good measure.
Did a year on the Kitty Hawk as my first ship
Got my Order of Magellan, order of the ditch and did the Suez canal all on the first cruise.
BLM land is right across the street from me. But because there are houses around here, I can't shoot. County law. Must be a mile away from houses to shoot.
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.

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.
