Off Roading 05 Power Wagon edition!

[Iwant1]

No cummins yet but:



4. 56 gears



Electric Lockers-both axles



"Electronic swaybar disconnects"



33" BFG all-terrains



12,000 lb Warn winch



This is no joke I read it in the DC times.



only engine option will be the Hemi, and I'm kinda glad because I can't afford to be trading trucks right now!

Where and how can we get Dodge to add a CTD to that thing?



Good stuff



heck thats worth swaping a motor into

Yeah but the cummins is awful heavy for just 33" tires to be offroad... frontend would sink like a stone. I'd have to lift it and slap 40's on it at least.

Who knows more about the electric lockers? Any posibility of adapting into our American Axles????



-Scott

 

[XJSuperman]

Give it a little time and they won't need adapting... they'll most likely make one specifically for the AAM axles.

 

[SRadke]

What I meant is does this Power Wagon have the same AAM axles? If so the product may already exist with slight modification to our OEM units.



-Scott

 

[CIverson]

The front axle will be the same, but the rear end will most likely be the AAM 10. 5

 

[XJSuperman]

The AAM 10. 5 is comparable to a Dana-70 in size and (should be) strength.

 

[Cummins Pilot]

Any idea how electric lockers would hold up in a cold climate. I'd like a set but I want to know it WILL work at -40f.



I saw a video of that truck. DC was talking about it as it rolled around on some rocks. Pretty cool.

Don't Eaton and Detroit make a new electro locker for these trucks? I dunno anything about it but it might be worth checking into.

 

[CumminsPower98]

It's been in my back yard, hmmm wonder if I saw it.

 

[Boomer II]

Poisen Spider Mesa, Moab.

 

[frankram]

I have ARB Air Lockers on my 2000. They work great!

 

[CATCRACKER]

nice wheels on that truck

 

[Chipstien]

Hmmm, might need to get me one of those.

 

[bgilbert]

Doesnt look anything special to me, looks plain jane 3rd gen. If I want a offroader, I'd rather have the Jeep Rescue, I think its called, now thats an offroader and has a 'real' engine. .

It also has a higher stance than a regular 2500. This is accomplished by using different springs that are not only taller but have a softer spring rate to help with articulation. The down side to this is a slight reduction in payload and GVW. I belive the GVW is around 8,500 as opposed to the 9,000 pound norm for a 2500.



Also, after 1-1-05 the 6 speed manual will be available in conjunction with the Hemi.
