8500km on my 19 Alpha. Once, l had moisture in the switch cause problems. Messed up the gauge too. Dried out at home. Never happened again. Last ride some ice got behind the reverse button and it wouldn't work. A little heat and back to normal.

Those would have been the bolt-on plastic paddles. Nobody misses those. Absolutely deadly if you found some ice in a corner.

Ignoring the G5 that went down sounding like a bag of hammers 🙄

He's there at the beginning of day two but breaks down.

When my Alpha track got up around 6000 km l noticed cracking on the rear, base of the lugs like that. It was a head scratcher. It stayed together up to 8000. You've got cracking where there aren't even lugs. Really weird.

We made it all the way up the valley to just shy of hundred horse hill. Didn't probe but there's 6' of snow missing for sure.

Don't go to the Mines if you like your paint. Waaaay down on snow.

I think l got the dealer a little more on my side. Last l heard BRP wanted more pictures. In the mean time l ride my 8500km Alpha.

You should ask for the old heater core and cut it open.

You're not living up to your user name lol

My Alpha track made it 8000km i rode fast a lot. Broken rods condemned it.

I remember meeting the groomer as l was ripping down the mountain on my new 96 Summit. Was parked in the 'lot' along the highway.

I have a buddy with the same generation. He has poor cab heat as well. Maybe a garden hose could be hooked up and the core reverse flushed.

You probably just voided your warranty 😉

They haven't shown me the BUDS report only told me some of it. There was no overheat to my knowledge. Just the first warning(s).

I bet they do...

The turbo is also liquid cooled. So that taxes the cooling system more. They can see that the warnings came on at low speed and low throttle position. No management in on Friday so l wait.

I heard the beep and l did just what the manual says. I pulled over and cooled down. Same as every otherone on the trail that day. Does it say warranty void if dash beeps? The scuffed piston is unrelated to the 'overheat'. That's what 30 years of mountain riding tells me. I spoke with a woman...

It was. I had to authorize a complete teardown before they would even talk to BRP. So presumably sitting in pieces now. Yeah, l didn't go hotter the initial warning. These sleds drink oil, actually. Those claims of lower oil usage were quietly dropped years ago.
