Power Wagon: Video, Pictures and Love

[Metcalf]

So what is new with the 2010 Powerwagon? I heard the 2010's 2500/3500 trucks got an upgraded from axle with 1550 sized steering joints! They also have the updated steering linkage from the 2008+?

What rear axle do they have now? Rear suspension?

Nice videos. Sweet Mopar action:smiley_drive:

The running gear on the '10 and up Power Wagon is the same as the '09 3rd Gen trucks.

Rear axle is still the leaf sprung 10.5" AAM w/ helical limited slip and e-locker.

I'm pretty sure the 2010 dodge 2500 and 3500 got a new set of knuckles with a larger u-joint. Instead of being 1485 sized ( but AAM ) it is now 1550 ( but AAM ) size. From some rough measurements the knuckle is now about an inch taller.

Here is a old video when I first got my truck, before 35's and rock bars.

Where'd you get your rock bars?
I'm looking for sliders/rails for my 2011 and haven't found too many companies that make things stouter than cosmetic pieces.

Aluminess is making sliders that are also air tanks.

I have the Official Mopar Rock Bars, which from what I've heard are made from a very special metal called "Unobtainium".

And ya I agree with Mr. Brady, you may want to check out the Aluminess stuff, thay are awesome.

Oh I found a "Winch Cam video I messed around with doing a few years ago. It was experimental but still cool IMHO . I like the sounds.. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzrWdlb5Hw4"]YouTube - AVI 0023[/ame]

I pinged Aluminess on their website and am waiting a response regarding pricing and install difficulty.

I heard back from Aluminess; the sliders bolt to the body, not the frame.
Not sure I like that, especially when I can find frame-mounted for less money.

Any other slider suggestions?

 

[Hilldweller]

More video, Scott?

 

[Metcalf]

Anyone have pictures of the new Aluminess sliders? I couldn't find any?

 

[Hilldweller]

Any other images or videos from other owners on the forum?

Where's the rest of the Hell's revenge footage, Scott? :drool:

Yeah,I saw them firsthand at the factory. Dodge doesn't recommend drilling nor welding on the hydroformed frame.

A wraparound bracket that clamped firmly around the frame with the slider attached to it might work.

FYI, the Dodge factory Power Wagon rock rails require drilling the frame a whole bunch - 24 holes as I recall. If you can find a set of factory rails, they will not void any portion of the warranty.
