I was informed by DCX that the Power Wagon is going
to be an available package on the 2500 trucks, like the
SRT-10 package is for the 1500 trucks. Not standalone.
If you check the news article again, I linked to the large
versions of the images. In case you want a bigger look.

Bob_Sheaves from Allpar.com posted some good info:
I thought this was pretty useful and interesting information.The AAM "SmartBar" system that controls the swaybar disconnect feature for offroad use has a computer that also interfaces with the powertrain computer to allow the operation of the disconnect as follows:
Low vehicle speed (less than 15mph, according to info), transfer case in 4WD High range, rear axle lock engaged (more on locker in axles later)=disconnect unlock. Speeds above this and other conditions equal= swaybar lock.
Low vehicle speed (less than 15mph, according to info), transfer case in 4WD Low range, rear axle lock engaged, front axle locked=disconnect unlock. Increased speed automatically locks swaybar AND unlocks front axle.
Any speed with transfer case in 2WD=swaybar locked, axle lockers unlocked.
The axles used, front and rear, are the AAM 9.25" ring gear containing an electronic locking differential-a TRUE locker, not a friction plate system. Imagine an ARB air locker, with a coil (electromagnet) instead of annular pistion activated by air pressure, utilizing the dog clutch design, a far superior, but noisier, system than used in the TJ Rubicon.
