It was so bad (and i do not remember the exact stuff) but the dealer took the truck back and Don eventually bought a Q-cab, short bed 3500. He made the 3500 off road worthy for his style (winch, lights, etc...) with items and component similar to the "frills" offered by Dodge on the PW.
Not trying to discourage you, but Don was a great guy who lived the TC desert camping lifestyle. he also brought a lot to these forums. One of those was the no-so-good experience of a Power Wagon with a TC.
R.I.P Don Curley.
Don was a great guy! He will be missed.
