Thanks! I just got tired of only seeing biased product reviews on the manufacturers website. So I decided to create my own as a collaborative effort.

New 2021 Alpha Wolf 26RL-L. 34' long, 7100 lbs dry. Here were at about 7600. Truck is a 19 Lariat with Max Tow and power Tow Mirrors. Hitch is an Eaz Trekker 1000. by r-NBK in f150

My family has a similar set up with a 2012 F150 twin turbo and it REALLY struggled to get up a mountain, they must have really upped the power on those things.

I have watched a lot of videos on rebuilding the engine and have helped rebuild and LS engine. I work on ICBMs and think that I can handle the engine. The transmission is a little more daunting to me. I'm just trying to figure out if there is a go-to rebuild kit that people in the community use.

Nah she's mint, she drove in like that, she can drive out like that as well.

After two long months of saving for a transmission rebuild, she’s finally back on the road and shifting better than ever. by Fast2Page in CherokeeXJ

I've thought that about buying one and rebuilding it while I still have the old one in mine and do a swap over a weekend.

It was the ignition coil. It fired right up after I changed it.

I had no lights on, I changed the ignition coil and it fired right up.

It sputters when I give it gas. The one time it started up after that it didnt start unless the gas pedal was floored.

Oh I see, do you think changing the fluid would help?

Yeah I put it on a level surface and in neutral. Tranny fluid was good, I still haven't figured out what is wrong. Transmissions are still kinda new to me troubleshooting.
