Default Sway Bar? Axle switch? Ram 2500 power wagon 2005 | towing

Okay, well I used to always go on road trips with my Dad and we would take the Rv out and go camping. Well, I'm 18 now and wanna take some of my buds out. Call me an idiot, but i just want to make sure i have got things straight before setting out. I have a Dodge Ram 2500 Power Wagon 2005 model. Well, on the electrical buttons below the radio it has a couple of things that I have no idea what they do. It has a **** that has three options to adjust the axle, and I have no idea when I would use that, what it's for, or how to get it into one of those modes. Same with the Sway bar, what does it do? When do I use it? How do i turn it on or off? I have tried switching the **** and pressing the sway bar buttons but they just blink and wont transition over all the way.. Help? I am sort of new guys, sorry.

Dude!

You REALLY need to get your hands on a owners manual. I know the sway bar is electrically disengageable, also a full lock lsd front diff.

There's also some other little idiosyncrasies about how the whole 4wd portion operates, but I'm not personally familiar

I'm sure some other guys that have more time with one will chime in

Good Wheelin!

There's another Dodge Forum out there that has a specific 05&up Power Wagon section you may like to take a look at
