The Dodge Power Wagon is a four-wheel drive medium duty truck that was produced in various model series from 1945 to 1980 by Dodge. The Power Wagon name was revived for the 2005 model year as a four-wheel drive version of the Dodge Ram 2500. As a nameplate, "Power Wagon" continues as a special package of the four-wheel drive version of 3/4 ton Ram Trucks 2500 model.

The original civilian version, commonly called the "flat fender" Power Wagon (FFPW) or "Military Type", was mechanically based on Dodge's 3/4-ton WC series of World War II military trucks. The Power Wagon was the first 4x4 medium duty truck produced by a major manufacturer in a civilian version. It represents a significant predecessor to the many modern four-wheel drive trucks in use today. It was marketed as the WDX truck. Until about 1960 it was internally known by its engineering code T137 – a name still used for the original series by enthusiasts. Following Chrysler Corporation policy of badge engineering to provide a greater number of sales outlets overseas, Power Wagons were also marketed around the world under the Fargo and De Soto badges.

Starting in the 1957 model year, factory four-wheel-drive versions of the Dodge C Series trucks were produced and sold as the W-100, W-200, W-300, and W-500, alongside the older Power Wagon. The pickups had the "Power Wagon" badge on the fender. The older design Power Wagon was marketed as the "Military Type" to distinguish it from the styled pickup versions. Later the "Military Type" was given the series number W-300M, and ultimately WM-300.

The heavy-duty four-wheel-drive W-300 and W-500 trucks were marketed as "Power Giants". The four-wheel-drive version of the Dodge Town Wagon also got the "Power Wagon" badge. The "Military Type" sales in the United States ended by 1968, because the vehicle did not comply with new federal light-duty truck regulations. The "Power Wagon" options continued on the Dodge D-Series through the 1980 model year. For the 1981 model year, "Power Ram" became the marketing logo for the medium-duty Dodge trucks, and the "Power Wagon" name was not used until the 2004 revival.

Back in 1999 there was a Dodge Power Wagon concept.

Common 1995 Dodge Wagon problems

The Dodge Wagon 1995 is not specifically mentioned in the search results. However, the search results do provide information about common problems with other Dodge models and cars in general, which can be useful in understanding potential issues with the Dodge Wagon 1995.

Ignition Coil Problems

Ignition coils are an essential part of a car's ignition system. They help start the car's engine by transforming the low voltage from the car battery into the thousands of volts needed to initiate the ignition on the spark plug. A faulty ignition coil can cause difficulty starting the car's engine, misfires, stalling, increased emissions, and the smell of gas coming from the exhaust. If you suspect an ignition coil problem, it's important to have it checked and replaced if necessary.

Powertrain Problems

Powertrain problems can be serious issues in any car, and the Dodge Magnum is no exception. The search results mention two powertrain recalls for the Dodge Magnum, involving missing torque retention crimps and gearshift cable problems. These issues can lead to a loss of power, incorrect gearshift position display, and even the vehicle moving on its own, increasing the likelihood of a crash. If you notice anything off with your Magnum's powertrain, it's crucial to take it to the dealer for a thorough inspection.

Transmission Problems

Transmission problems can also be a significant issue in cars. The search results mention transmission issues with the Dodge Caliber, particularly with the Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT). These issues can include jerking, slipping, jumping during acceleration, leaking transmission fluid, burning smell, and the check engine light coming on. The 2009 Caliber is mentioned as the most problematic in the lineup, with several owners reporting whining or grinding noises when accelerating, which is a sure sign of transmission failure.

In conclusion, while the Dodge Wagon 1995 is not specifically mentioned in the search results, the information provided can still be helpful in understanding potential issues that may arise in this car. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent many of these problems, and it's crucial to address any issues as soon as they arise to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of the vehicle's occupants.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

Date Of Incident: 2000-08-01
VIN: 2B4HB25Z6SK
Components: POWER TRAIN
Summary: IN AUGUST OF 2000 MY WIFE AND I TOOK A TRIP UTILIZING THIS VAN TO PULL OUR TRAVEL TRAILER OUT TO THE EAST COAST, (MAINE). PRIOR TO DEPARTURE ALL FLUID LEVELS WHERE CHECKED AND ADJUSTED. WHEN STOPPING FOR FUEL IN VERMONT I NOTICED (SMELLED) THE ODOR OF HOT GEAR GREASE. UPON INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THAT OIL WAS BEING BLOWN OUT PAST THE PINION SEAL. I PROCEEDED TO REFILL THE DIFFERENTIAL AND CONTINUED ON OUR TRIP CHECKING THE FLUID PRIOR TO EACH LEG OF OUR TRIP. UPON ARRIVING HOME FROM OUR TRIP I PURCHASED A NEW SEAL FROM OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND REPLACED LEAKING PINION SEAL. THIS VEHICLE (AND THE TRAILER THAT IT TOWS) ARE STORED INSIDE ALL WINTER. IN GETTING THE VEHICLE READY FOR A TRIP IN MAY OF 2002 I OBSERVED THAT THE ABS LIGHT WAS ON AND IN DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM IDENTIFIED THAT THE PINION SEAL IS LEAKING GEAR OIL AGAIN. THE ABS SENSOR ON THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED, I BELIEVE, FROM THE EXCESSIVE HEAT OF THE REAR AXEL. IN RESEARCHING WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE PINION SEAL COULD BE I HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT CHRYSLER OR ITS SUBCONTRACTOR DURING THE MANUFACTURING OF THE AXEL HOUSING FAILED TO PLACE A VENT IN EITHER THE AXEL TUBE OR THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING ALLOWING THE PRESSURE FROM THE HOT OIL TO PUSH THE OIL OUT OF THE HOUSING PAST THE PINION SEAL. IN TALKING TO OTHER DODGE OWNERS I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL FILL PLUG (PLASTIC) BEING BLOWN OUT FROM THE PRESSURE THEREBY ALLOWING THE OIL TO LEAK. I SUSPECT THAT THE WAY THE DIFFERENTIAL NOW SINGS AND BY THE BLUEING OF THE METAL THAT IT IS HEADED FOR FAILURE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN CONVINCE DODGE TO DO A RECALL AND INSTALL VENTS ON THE AXEL TUBES OF THOSE TRUCKS THAT HAVEN'T YET HAD AN OVERHEATING PROBLEM, AND TO ALSO TAKE CARE OF THOSE CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE HAD A PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK
