    MSRP +/- on New Diesels

    2022 Ram 3500 Limited diesel with the HO engine and Aisin transmission, factory ordered in June, took delivery mid November. Was 15% below MSRP, and got amazing price for my 2016 3500 diesel... Factory orders are the way to go...

    Super Clamp tie downs.

    I have a set of the adjustable on my deck for the rear superclamps, and two of the long adjustable track that run the full length of the deck, great for securing other stuff, quads, etc no issues with freezing really, if they get iced up a tip of the screwdriver works great. On my last enclosed...

    The latest on the chip shortage

    I do believe that Fargo has its own facility or contractor making chips for the gas pickups and Jeeps in Brazil - when I ordered my 2022 3500 I was unable to get a power sunroof due to shortages... I imagine that replacement electrical components will be tough to find on any new vehicle in the...

    4 season trailers

    Travelaire Genesis and Kustom Koach Legacy trailers (high end models) are decent in winter, but skirting is a must, heat taping sewer lines and heated water lines is a must. Electric heat helps a ton, I use a 250lb pig on mine in conjunction with an electric heater. Bear in mind that ANY true 4...

    Crowsnest Pass / Fernie 2022?

    Pretty much crickets on Fernie / Crowsnest Pass conditions thus far, was thinking of going for a ride next week. As I’m new to the area, is there anything open that would be decent for a family type ride? Thanks for any information…

    3000 Watt Generators, Which Brand, Why?

    I have a Firman inverter that I use off grid a lot. It’s quiet, runs 14 + hrs on 1.8 us gallons, and will run anything / everything in my 34’ 5th wheel. I think I paid $830 for it. Hour meter crapped out at 1500 hrs, but it’s basically pull and go…

    Who started in Mountains on a Fancooled Sled

    Started on a Blizzard 5500 Many moons ago…Wife / kids learned many years later (1998?) on a s-chassis with a 380/503 rotax, 136” with 1.5” paddles. Had Rev chassis after that, then M-series cats, proclimbs, and pro rmk / ascender sleds. Always had fun, learned to sidehill with the fan sleds to...

    Change drivers out

    I'd change them, and probably go with Avids or similar. The torque of these sleds make pretty short work of the stockers. I'd also fully clip the track...

    Slydog Attack Skis

    I'm running them on a King Cat (Sidewinder). Big improvement over stock, i would say they as good as the grippers, but they act differently. As mentioned, they are considerably more rigid...

    Sidewinder belt drive

    I had installed a C3 belt drive on my 2013 M1100 when I installed the bigger turbo at 480 miles, as the stock chain was junk. It was on the sled when I sold it in 2018, on the original belt, and after some pretty rough miles. That being said, I did miss reverse, so my 2017 King Cat is still...

    another tire thread.

    Firestone MT2’s are awesome, running them on my Ram3500, fairly quiet for a mud tire, and wear well on pavement and gravel. For winter use I run Firestone Destination XT’s, they work well on snow and use, and seem to wear like iron…

    Custom transfer tank builders

    Call Rocky at Redline in Nisku, he used to fab all the fuel tanks at Gee &Gee Racing, has built me some really nice stuff over the years, and is a top notch aluminum welder.

    Is it this challenging to find employees elsewhere?

    Here is my experience: As a farm kid that can operate anything with wheels or tracks, a red seal journeyman mechanic that has also worked in management, plus 30 ish years in the oil and gas industry, I cannot buy a job, employers want young people that spend most of their time on social media...

    4 out of 5 Drivers Cannot Do Without at Least One ADAS System

    I appreciate the heated seats and steering wheel. On my 3500 Limited and the wife’s Cherokee Overland, the rest of the crap is always turned off/disabled, especially active braking, forward collision warning, and lane departure features, both of us would rather depend on our driving skills...

    Would You Snowcheck a Cat?

    Yes, I would snowcheck another Cat, if I were in the market. I’d also consider a Polaris. I rode Ski-doo for 12 years, and although they are also a good sled, they just don’t “doo” it for me anymore, I’m more comfortable on the Polaris or Cat chassis.

    AC Release Date

    And, the King Cat is a 4S, so, not likely it would sell any time quick. Maybe if it had Polaris or BRP decals on it?

    AC Release Date

    Lol- that’s funny. Truth is, I haven’t ridden anything that has made me want to sell my current ride, and spend an extra 10 grand for a new unit. I used to buy two new sleds every two years, not anymore. For what they are charging for the new iron, they should be PERFECT out of the box, and all...

    AC Release Date

    Personally I’m disappointed with the lack of release, but also surprised that the sled business is actually holding its own. Although there have been product refinements from all of the manufacturer, the cost is getting out of hand (over 20k for a sled?!?), and the sport Is slowly dying, between...

    1100 turbo head studs?

    If I recall correctly, most tuner companies claimed 215-220 hp was the ceiling for the stock bolts. Personally, it is cheap insurance to run studs
