  4. Northern loop conditions?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I would bet the Circlip was not seated correctly in the wheel, it failed to retain the bearing and it moved off the bearing, not that we have something like it happen......

    You can see the bearing in place on the shaft.

    Not that this helps at all, but may help someone else.

  10. Any Decent Riding Anywhere

    I didn't spend much time investigating that. My thought's are that I like the air ride enough that I just want it back to normal.

    Some guys hate the air shock because it does not act like a regular shock but it has always been suffice for the type of riding I do. The shift on the fly aspect cant be beat.

    Also I get a good discount on BRP parts so I figured I might as well just stay the course.

    Now if I would just take the time to take my seat cover off and fix the broken wire on my heating element I will have a full "Enduro" back....LOL...that hasn't worked for two seasons now.  

    Teamfast.com the people who make the M-10,20, etc... may have a replacement for the rear shock. their version of the Air Shock is usually rebuildable.

    Compared to pulling the Engine, the seat and shock are a piece of cake.

    You could even replace the bushings with ones from Val from Mainway Solutions, then just grease them every couple months.

    Now we have done this.....

    LongHair took the Formula 500 straight up a plowed snowbank and did what was called "X-Game" worthy air......

    But what goes up, must come back down.... landed right on the tail, causing this kinda damage.... 

    Sucks so early in the season, good luck on getting parts.....

    Hi Andy.  You should have good ground cover this time of year and not green.

    Mr Gutz.  I don't believe in products like "Car Shield " but maybe?

    It has the Dodge Warranty.

    And it only has 55k on it, I blame Covid, it sat more than usual, I had to have all the brakes replaced since they rusted together, the shocks were just replaced, because they had rusted, E-Brake Cable snapped due to Rust.

    So... may get some idea tomorrow.

    Oh no.  How can this be?  Four engines in one year!  It is hard to believe.  The good side is you were close to home.

    Really..... is it? hahahahha!!!

    You've given him rides home?

    He should be a test pilot or durability evaluator for products.... LongHair this is our indestrucable new product, oops, it's broke..... LOL, 30 seconds, new record!

    With reading your eval from last night\this AM, it may be good we did not go.... but this not the way I wanted to be discuraged from going...

    Hey GuyZ

    So who ever had the pool going this year, the winner is "The Durango" 

    There has to be a pool, right, what will we blow up next..... 

     

    We would have been unloading the Trailer by now if things had gone well and giving J&S a call to plan for tomorrow's ride......

    But you see LongHair somehow has grenaded the Durango..... 55k on the Odometer....

    ( I cant say he did anything wrong, but this does make the second SUV of mine to need a new engine with him at the helm, and his forth engine in misc trucks this year....)

    Fortunatly we were only 20 miles from the house, and it was 40 degrees....

    NoHair was only wearing slippers, PJ Pants and his Foxy Headdress.... so 40 degrees was just up his alley ......while we waited for LongHair to get his work truck and tow the trailer to the house. 

    The Dealer Service Agent went by while AAA was loading the Durango, and told me he said to himself ,"is that coming to my door"?

     

    Pulled on to 91 North from the pike and each light on the dash lit up in turn......

    Pulled over just past the Holyoke Mall, opened the hood, coolant everywhere.... its had no issues in the last few weeks ; in the couple times I've used it and tested with the trailer. I like to do a shake down run up in to the hills around us, really put a load on it, because we dont use it more than 10-20 times a year.

    Oh well! I checked Rental Trucks today and they were not bad, so our next launch date is the 19th. Pistons Crossed for Luck!!!

    By the way, I also checked out a new Lincoln Navigator.... WOW...  Taking Mrs GutZ for Test Drive Soon! 

    Stuck at Home

    Thanks for the AWESOME throwback Gutz, especially meaningful at this time of year!...

    As my dearly departed mom used to say:

    #1) "The first hundred years are the hardest"

    #2) "In a hundred years none of this will matter"

    #3) "Life is uncertain, so eat dessert first"

    I am getting the feeling life is too short to not eat Dessert first!

    Words to live by!
