  1. That's my story and I'm sticking to it lol
  2. Gave up on them along time ago. All they ever did was ask for more money every friggin week. Got rid of all of my guns too.Those things are evil
  3. Sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your entire family.
  4. You seem to have it under control but if you have decent insurance and can get a referral id recommend a stress test to go with your EKG/bloodwork. That all showed bad signs for me because I was having a heart attack. One of my coworkers (who is ironically my age) was having actual chest pain at night. Went to ER twice. Bloodwork EKG both fine. He hounded his primary physician on my advice to get him a referral for a cardiologist and they finally gave him one. He saw heart doctor and they scheduled a stress test. This was 6 weeks after his initial ER visit. He felt fine that day. Went to stress test and had emergency surgery to have 3 stents put in the same day. He was on his way to the big one. Blockages don't show up on tests unless they are causing other issues. Then again, it could just be a pinched nerve. I will share something I never thought of until a nurse mentioned it to me while I was in the hospital. If you have back and nerve pain that lingers, or dulls out after taking some ibuprofen or something, or is nagging, its probably exactly something like that. If you feel fine, then all of a sudden the pain and numbness starts, then mysteriously just goes away a few minutes later and you feel ok, thats a sure fire sign you're heading for trouble and you need to see someone ASAP. Wish I knew that when it happened to me lol. Best of luck and take care of yourself I hope it turns out to be nothing. Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative ! Sorry 'bout the thread jack
  5. I went thru that a couple years ago. Arm/ nerve issues, went to PT, etc and it seemed to go away. It came back this summer(exact same symptoms). Only this time it was a heart attack. I turned 50 a month ago, slightly high cholesterol other than that I'm healthy. Not saying you have the same problem, just that you should make sure you know what you're dealing with. I thought I did but I didn't. You should go get checked out. I Left work and drove myself to the hospital after having shoulder and back pain come and go for a week. Couple more days and I wouldn't be here typing this. I beat the widow maker. Food for thought.
  6. Absolutely. Buy the ticket, take the ride
  7. He said what everyone else is thinking. He just said it out loud
  8. I selfishly hope you're right. If it works out, I'd appreciate it if you repeated this process next season. Thanks in advance ETA: And I sincerely hope you get your health issue sorted out in short order.
  9. I said "respect" not worship. The flag is a symbol of our country. If someone doesn't like this country, they're free to find someplace nicer to live. Or do something productive to change it instead of being a whiney bitch on national TV. Its a direct insult to men and women who gave their life for it. Word it however you want we are free to disagree with each other. Have a nice evening
  10. 2018 800 SKS 146. I know there have been some jackshaft bearing and chaincase bearing failures on these Axys sleds. I had one on my 18 SKS. i'll try to keep it short At 500 miles I changed the oil and checked the chain, pulled cover bolts to drain and flush but never pulled cover. Chain felt properly adjusted at that time. At 800 miles I checked chain again and it was loose, which honestly I found a little odd, So I adjusted it. 400 miles later the drive axle bearing failed in the case. Sled was under warranty so i dumped it at dealer and they fixed it for me. Rode it 500 miles and changed oil, checked chain all is good . Then rode it another 500 and it seemed to be vibrating a bit so I assumed the bearing was on its way out again. Pulled it all apart and checked all the bearings. All smooth and tight. greased left side drive axle bearing and jackshaft bearing and reassembled chaincase sans cover. I adjusted the chain then proceeded to check a few other things and noticed when I was rotating the track by hand that the chain tension changed. I have a super loose spot. I think just before the bearing failed I checked the chain and it was in the loose spot and when I tightened it up the "tight spot" probably caused the bearing to fail prematurely. i did that with the cover on and didn't suspect any issues at that time. So anyway, If I adjust the chain to the proper tension in one spot I can play a tune on it after I rotate it to another spot. I have no vibration in the brakes and both shafts turn smooth without binding when I had the track out. I haven't put a dial indicator on anything yet and I have a chain on order. Anyone had any issues with this or even noticed anything like this? I'm wondering if its possibly gear out of round if it isn't a shaft that's tweaked. I wasn't surprised to see a slight tight spot in the chain its not that uncommon, but this is pretty extreme. If i adjust to proper tension in tight spot I have a ton of slack in chain (like it almost hits the case it has so much deflection) as I move it around the clock to other spots. Im wondering if some of the other guys noting loose chains from dealer may have the same issue.
