I don't have a power wagon but my 2500 has the AEV lift. I've owned the truck almost 3 years and it's performed very well for what I use it for. Everything from hauling my camp to general construction duties. Obviously it is a stiffer ride than a pw. That is to be expected.
Just thought I'd finally circle back to this. I checked and tightened the wire connections to the starter about 4 weeks ago. I got a 1/4 to 3/8 turn on each. The connections are clean. Haven't had a problem since. But now that it's cold here my body mounts are making some noise again ...
As far as gas powered trucks go, as I've mentioned before, I have a 2012 6.2 Ford F350 dually dump body with 4.30 gears. The tires are 245/70 17s. The Ram has 3.73 gears and 37s. The Ram out pulls the ford as far as acceleration goes, even on hills. The ford is heavier of course, so that...
I have really enjoyed my 6.4 for towing our vnose camper and my work equipment. Usually nothing over 10k. The camper is probably 7000 on the high end and it's fine all over new England. Much more weight and I would consider a diesel. I'm also on 37s. Again no issues. My mini excavator on...
Thanks for the replies. I spoke with the service manager at my local dealership, one that I actually trust. He said starters aren't something they see fail often. 9 out of 10 times it's loose or corroded connections to the starter. I'm going to go through it this weekend. Worst case...
Ok, so last week I experienced a click and no start on my 2020 Ram 2500 6.4. I ended up jumping the truck and it fired right up. I replaced the original battery with a decent AGM battery. Things were good until 2 days ago. Same thing happened but after 2 or three attempts the truck started...
I had a Tundra years ago that leaned to the driver side a bit...most noticeable with a full gas tank. Any chance that could be part of what you are experiencing?
I was at my local dealership yesterday. Nice folks, just general service. Spoke with a salesman, not much different for 2025 as of yet. I really won't be looking for probably 2 years anyway. I like my ccsb. But I have a dump truck for anything larger. The ccsb is great for maneuvering...
I like how the AEV bumper gives you more room in front of the tires. My truck has the AEV lift and 37s, it's a tight fit with the stock bumper. I'm just looking forward to some nicer weather so I can get my truck as clean as RCDs truck!
That is great looking truck. I'm thinking the AEV bumper might be in my future this year. The 285/75 18 is really good tire size. I've ran them on several trucks. They do measure up on the taller side of 35s.
As I've explained several times on this forum, I had the ford 7.3 gas in the truck I traded for my 2500 6.4. It's a good motor, but the Hemi is no slouch, and the longer I have the truck the more I like it.
I have a bunch of driveways and 2 private roads that I plow here in the town I live in. Some are pretty steep. If the conditions require chains on the rear dually wheels, I leave them on for the entire route, otherwise it would take too long to continually remove and install them...
The amount of calcium chloride they throw down here is incredible. My chains are the cam lock style, with 5 locks per side. If they are corroded it's much harder to get them on the tires the right way and it takes longer. If you don't experience this than great, possibly my chains are more...
I use either fluid film or woolwax. I have the gun for applying it myself. Yeah it's a messy job, but I think it's imperative to long term vehicle maintenance in VT where I live. Just yesterday I fluid filmed my snow chains before storing them for the next 7 months or so. If I didn't spray...
