    Patching a Spalling Driveway

    I have a 10 year old driveway that looks like the moon. It's been spalling for a number of years and I believe it was probably floated too much. Additionally, driveway has sunk about an inch over time and the lip to get into the garage is annoying. Once you get past the spalling, rest is...

    What it's worth

    My 14 2500 CTD Mega Laramie, with 200K, was traded 3 months ago. On trade, I was offered ~$50K for it. I know it's all about the difference on a trade, but the difference wasn't so large to make up a abnormally high trade in. It sat on the lot for $3K over what they gave me for a week and...

    Belaying a snowmobile

    We sorta had to do this a number of years ago to get a Nytro which wouldn't run out of 3 sisters and we were past the pearly gates. That was not a day I would recommend anyone chose to try repeat. By the end of the day we were so tired and mentally frustrated. I towed the machine out with my...

    Vacation Property House Plans

    I bought a few sheets of treated plywood yesterday. $100 a sheet for 5/8 and $112 a sheet for 3/4. Those are at a local yard and are typically cheaper than the box stores. Either way, quality on this and the 2x4's I bought were poor at best and I picked through the lifts!!

    Trans issue? 68RFE

    My story got worse. Once they replaced the parts in the tranny, the mechanic was reconnecting the batteries and crossed wires and fried the ECM. Another 7 days to get one flown in from Detriot for $8600. I picked up the truck once complete, asked them if they test drove and they said they...

    Trans issue? 68RFE

    Had similar on a 10 with the 68. Valve body was pooched as were one of the shift solenoids. Valve body was on BO at the time for 4 weeks. Truck wouldn't go out of 4th, was stuck in it.

    Chinese diesel heaters for enclosed sled trailer

    Out of curiousity, did they put a false floor in? I ask as I thought about this a number of years ago and with the way most cross members are laid out under the trailer, it would be been difficult to run lines and properly insulate them. Always thought the easiest way would have been to put a...

    Parts list to have on hand for the Ski Doo 850 Turbo

    I'm more diligent than the average bear, but some of the people I ride with aren't. If they aren't riding, I'm likely not riding, so we take enough stuff to make sure we're all taken care of. Nonetheless, I appreciate the detailed, technical explanation of how "LOCTITE" works.

    Parts list to have on hand for the Ski Doo 850 Turbo

    Oddly enough, been stuck too many times in too many places for nickel and dime parts. Have always carried a small assortment of metric nuts, bolts, and washers. Same goes for a rear idler wheel. Had to replace those 3 different times. Kinda screwed on a 2 wheel Axle if a wheel cracks

    Rpm

    I wish I could find it. A number of years ago Hot Rod magazine built two identical sized big blocks and arrived at the same displacement by using inverse bore and stroke numbers. Ex: One had a 3" bore x 4" stroke, while the other had a 4" bore x 3" stroke. I can't remember what the actual...

    Lynx 4100..........took a short rip.

    A review of a new sled and you fail to mention whether there's room to cook???? ;) The guys who like the Freeride's and can use the suspension are going to like the Lynx assuming it isn't coming softened up for the NA market. Most are going to be happier on a Summit as I think the transfer and...

    Polaris 2022 Release

    For the sake of everyone I hope that the Polaris runs well. Everyone needs some competition to keep the industry evolving. Polaris does have an uphill battle here - like the Doo or not, Doo's release of the 850T is a tough act to follow. The rollout was nearly flawless and I haven't talked to...

    Sledding with your family

    Last week I wish I took more pictures! I took a bit of time off and we went up North for a change of scenery. It was still cool, but between up North and at home, the terrorists rode close to 100 miles on a 120 and 200. 200 is running better now that I have the jetting figured out. Idles...

    Clutches

    You are a little limited with how you can tune a PB80, but it's actually a pretty decent, durable clutch. Two of the boosted Doo 1200's I built in the past had PB80's at 220hp and withstood over 8K miles without much of an issue aside from primary spring changes to keep things fresh.Keep in...
