Absolutely fantastic looking truck!!! What a great starting point; you've got the exact setup I wish I had! I am definitely looking forward to watching your build!

What I have seen in resale values (most notably in pre- Urea emission systems diesels) completely supports this conclusion!!! The most noticeable are the early (first and especially second gen) Cummins, the 2006-2007 Cummins AND Duramax, and the 2003 and older 7.3L Fords.

I will agree that a diesel built prior to the current Urea emissions systems holds value like CRAZY now!!!! My 2007 Duramax Silverado Classic sells for as much now as it would have in 2011 when I traded it in!!!! (even with the mileage I would have added in the meantime!) Too early to tell yet...

Could be wrong but, I think the 2500/3500 are a mix of of Canada and Mexico for build sites. I know my Power Wagon was built in Mexico. (and was COVERED in dust inside and out, as it seems that a lot of Wagons built in Mexico have been as several people with Mexican built Wagons have noted an...

Overall I have been very happy with my Carli suspension. The only complaint that I can level against it is that their tuning is biased toward high speed offroad. With added speed, the ride gets smoother and smoother but, in my area, there's not much application for going fast offroad, the trails...

They are indeed! Well built and the instructions are well written!

I've definitely gotten good use out of my Carli setup! From my experience and those of others I have read, Carli or Thuren, both are fantastic choices!!! Thanks man! Yeah, it definitely sees some good use!

Well, I guess I should post something in the way of an update, here's how it looks now!:

Absolutely great looking truck!!! LOVE the new front bumper!!!

BUT, there is no easy way to fit 40s under a 4 link 4th gen. (like there is with the AEV kit for the radius arm Rams, which moves the front axle forward 1.5") I want to move my front axle of my 2012 forward so badly I can't stand it!!!! Even just keeping my 37s, I'd still like to move it forward...

IIRC it was about $7k worth of suspension on a $37K truck. (truck's sticker was $45280 but, I'm a lifetime member of Tread Lightly so, I got that discount) I didn't go whole hog on the suspension (one can easily surpass $15k if one is wont to do so), my suspension consists of: Carli: MIG/mild...

I've had my Power Wagon (2012 ST) for just shy of 3 years now. I bought it brand new in January 2013. I have over 50k miles on it now. It does VERY well offroad!!! (especially now with a mixture of Carli and Thuren parts for about 1.5" lift and some 37x12.50R17 Nitto trail grapplers on the stock...

Really a cool build you've got going here, just read the whole thread! Can't wait to see it all together, AWESOME!!!

That is a VERY pretty suburban you've got there, nice find!!!!

I cannot say too much about towing but, I LOVE my 2012 Power Wagon. On pricing, I can say this- I got mine new out the door for $9280 less than sticker. Also, they can be had without the gaudy graphics (and not too expensively either) by picking a Tradesman (the current equivalent to my ST) the...
