Had the sled out..

[Danger-Ranger96]

Hey guys, figured i'd post a pic of the new tow rig in action i just recently bought a sled deck for it and now i don't need to haul around a trailer

Only one question to be answered... How do you get it up there?

 

[wahlstrom1]

Ramps, or the deck tilts. Nice 08'/09', be prepared to get the rad replaced....done it 3 times now on my old mans, it's only got 120k and is highway driven.

I landed my polaris on my jeep's hood about a week ago trying to clear it lol. Smashed my windshield and now the hood is permanantly shut, oh well its just a pos bog truck I took off my Grandpa's wrecking yard. Thats how I'd get it up there.

Gawd, will an earlier model grille fit on that truck? That thing is taking a big bite out of the public sense of humor--which I need to keep people from throwing rocks at my old Civic.

I just want to drive something that doesn't make me feel like I should have an attitude problem. That grille is way too much personality for me. It looks like the truck is going to start unfolding right there, turn into a 20' robot and start shooting rockets.

has it had the 08B06 recall performed yet? Let me guess, upper front corner on the drivers side?

It was such a huge recall they say they're backordered on parts. They keep replacing it with the same old rad, hopefully it'll get fixed properly before it's miled out and get's sold to someone without a warranty. And ya, thats where it leaks, lol....that and the mystery rear pinion seal leak....taken it back twice for a leak, still looks like the same seal to me. I'm damn tempted to paint marker/dimple it to see if they actually replace it. He put's 10-12k on it a month, so stuff shows up quick.

Now, enough thread hijacking....he's got a diablo sport tuner on his truck that he leaves at the 50hp setting and he's gained 4mpg with no other mods. Well worth the $$$, however mileage is only about +2 at 80hp, and it goes in the hole on extreme/160hp setting.

Hey Josh, is that in Fort Mac?

We have about 6" of snow here. I think it will be the first Christmas ever where I won't be out snowmobiling due to lack of snow.

Glad to see at least someone can make use of their investment.

w3rd to that. That's why I can't stand newer full size trucks.

To date i've had 3 recalls fixed on it, one for the rad, one for the airbag minder light (it kept flashing) and of course the active regeneration Flame ball recall.

Its only got 40k KM on it so it just went in for the "big service" 2 checkups ago.

Also the mp3 player decided to stop playing mp3 cds, so warranty covered the new stereo they had to put in it. Its a great truck, but seriously terrible mileage, 10.9 mpg in city is a little tough on the wallet, especially when diesel is still 20 cents a litre more expensive then gasoline heh

Yea brendan that's in mcmurray. The snow has been a little slower falling down this year too, but we have a good foot of snow on the ground now.
