If you've ever read Samson16's posts you would know that is absolutely NOT what he meant......Probably the biggest supporter of the Powerboost platform on here (maybe 2nd behind Snakebitten)- and I get it- they are great vehicles.
Whatever your reason was for not dipping your toe in the...
Thanks for the detailed write-up. Sounds like if Dodge can work out some of these gremlins with this drivetrain they’ll have a winner.
I’ve never had any shifting or transmission issues with my ‘23 PB- I almost never feel the truck either up shift or down shift except at speeds just off idle...
Huh....Looks like '23's are now supported as well without having to send in the ECU....Crap- now I wish I hadn't looked....:

That's the sprit! All kidding aside- really sorry to hear you've had such a miserable experience with your Powerboost; It really is frightening when you consider all the things that could go wrong given all the technology they try to shoehorn into vehicles these days.

You'll want to select the "Unique Hood" option (see below). It's double side taped to the hood- nothing is getting underneath it (for better or worse). It's $79.95- or about half of the only...
lol. Nope. Like I said- anything other than light throttle and the tires will spin on dry pavement. 570 lb/ft. of torque at low revs has that effect. Your experience may be different….
I drive daily in 2H- so it’s easy to apply light throttle from a standing position- but if I forget and get...
I got mine at Discount Tire- ~ $1,700 installed back in March of ‘23. I’ve got 32,500 miles on these- plenty of tread- should get 50-60k out of them at least.
Looks like they still have them. This is the one you want:
