Default deisel power wagon

i wanted the power wagon bad but they dident make it in deisel so i dident buy it so im gonna make my 06 2500 ctd in the PW DODGE never built... bigger badder more power then theres.. obviously with the CTD way more power... but anyway the elec sway bar anyoneout there install it on there NON- powerwagon????? how good does it work?? lretail price is almost 900 dollars for just the swaybar itself.. being that the VW dealership i work at also owns a dodge dealership i can get it at cost for roughly $600
is it worth the 600 to have an elec sway bar?? or does it not work good??? would it be better to just put the hair pins on the sway bar????? make then disconnect manually???? does the elec sway bar allow for all the articulation the axle can have or does it not allow for full articulation???

If I am not mistaken there will be a Dodge PW with the 6.7 cummins if you can wait for it. That will be a monster.

I saw a video of a guy who did build a 05 PowerWagon with a CTD just swapped the engine.

I have not lifted my 2500, yet. However, most kits I have seen DO NOT replace the stock sways. When you find the kit you want, I would ask the manufac of the kit this question and see what they say.

If you are going for a PW, then not sure if you can get the electric sways to work with a standard 2500. Also don't forget to regear to 4.56's like the 06 PW [sm=happy046.gif]

There was also one of the diesel magazines that featured a layout of a Power Wagon that they swapped the CTD into, as I remember it was VERY involved and it took some time to get all the electrical sorted out.
I'm sure I linked to it from this site. It may have been the TDR link here on the board.
