    I did not know it was possible to get in here and close everything back up again either! Thanks for the tips!

    New truck options

    I know I have not responded this week, it's just been very busy... All is good just busy, both work and working on a fundraiser for my volunteer fire department. Just not find anything I really like or got to have right now. That alone tells me to wait and take things slow. Like I said I'm a...

    New truck options

    I'm going to have to give you a call. Some of my I exact same thoughts. The turbos were one of my concern with the new Rams hence another reason to start looking now... I kind of figure if I rule out the 2500 now then that pretty much leads me to a 1500. Which means I have to make my decision...

    Squatters Rights

    You had family friends do this to you? Wow... Bad enough for it to happen. Even worse when it should be someone you think you can trust.

    New truck options

    Yeah, I can definitely wait till its the right time for me. What got me think about it was seeing some of the deals they were running. I was interested if the prices were just dropping or deal were coming back. I think its a little of both depending on what you are looking for... Since I have...

    Squatters Rights

    You are correct, it happens everywhere. My point was certain states tend to make is easier for squatters vs the owners. I think why were are seeing it more is just like everything there are more cameras and people sharing that information now. Ironically I think those same cameras keep people...

    New truck options

    Good info, 1500 probably making more since, for practicality for every day but towing well 2500 are just bigger... Will I do those long trips out west... probably not. I guess the other thing to thing about is the trailer. How long will I be needing it for the most of my towing? My oldest son is...

    New truck options

    I have to say thanks I was pretty sure everybody was just going to say go with the bigger truck... 😂 Like I said I'm not jumping in anything right away but starting to do my research. That way the right deal comes along I can jump on it. Also, I currently run airlift 1000s on my rear...

    New truck options

    So I'm starting to think about a new truck. I have a 2013 RAM 1500 4x4 5.7L Hemi with the 8 speed trans, 3.21 rear end and 130,000ish miles. Fully loaded my trailer is 6680lbs. How ever 90% of my trips will be in the 5740lbs range. Either way I'm up at the upper end of the trucks rated load...

    Squatters Rights

    From my understanding while it can be an issue anywhere, the more liberal the state is the more the laws benefits the squatters. I don't understand it that well either but it has to do with eviction laws and notice and time it takes to get them out. The more liberal the states tend to give the...

    5 Years Ago, Saturday

    I remember that storm very well. I took My kids to Cadillac, Mi on the 22nd. I had a friend and his daughter that I met a year earlier with us. However, other than talking sleds we really did not know each other very well. Friday started out as weather was looking like it could flip either way...

    Comical weather comments!

    Just an FYI... but your link is returning as a "Dangerous Site" per McAfee... I even Googled it and warnings were popping up... too but when I ran a URL checker it came back ok... I just wanted to put the info out there so you can make your own determination.

    Thought I broke a belt running at 95 but didn't...

    Definitely not the chain. Every is running fine there. No noises etc. plus it was just serviced this fall. So at that point about 80 miles prior. Also if it were the chain, I think it would have noticed something at some other point in the ride. Maybe it was not ice but just a large...

    Thought I broke a belt running at 95 but didn't...

    I was at about a 1/2 tank at that point I rode another 14 miles then turned around at the turn off for Lake of the Clouds and went back to Burgland. When I got back my Low fuel light came on and the gage cluster saying "Low Fuel" as I pulled into the gas station. I put in 8.3 Gals. I have a10.4...

    Hey Scott, I read this article a while back and came across it again tonight. Apparently there are ways to shorten that waiting period up... Read below. This guy definitely deserved this, and we know John should qualify as well...

    Thought I broke a belt running at 95 but didn't...

    Unfortunately, I'm not sure my dealer can do that even if the Cat sleds has the same type of setup. My dealer of choice at least for maintenance is a Yamaha dealer. So after next year he won't even have any sleds any more. I ended up buying my sled from Ken's in Kaukauna, Wi. But all my service...

    Thought I broke a belt running at 95 but didn't...

    So what are the thoughts on why it would go in the limp mode? I've only had the sled go in the limp mode one time. It was sitting idling. Oh, we were deciding what to do, which would go fairly warm day. Two time get away from me... Basically, start to overheat. The light came on. And if I...

    Snowmobile GPS thoughts?

    Well with that said the other thing you mentioned was waterproofing. I know a few people gave you their take on cases including the one I had above... But I'll tell you honestly if it's tucked up under the windshield like that at least where I'm thinking it goes on the Ski-Doos I'd say 99% of...

    Snowmobile GPS thoughts?

    I have had a Garmin Nuvi version on my sled since 2011ish. With that said I use the Polaris app to track my rides. My phone is a Samsung s10e it a small phone compared to the phones now. Since it is 3 or 4 years old. The battery is not lasting as long as it did. So I ordered USB charger from...
