As for the comment about rust, have customers with all makes sporting rust that is absolutely inexcusable. From what I'm seeing, later model GM's are leading the pack, my '11 was well under way in spite of being properly Krowned each year (paint was peeling from inside of rear fender edges / just started on both fronts). On milder winter days, drag hose outta the basement and hand wash, rest of the time it's run through touchless or spray wash. Body on my '03 sierra, could shove your fist through the rocker panels plus floor rotted right to the outter seat bolts on each side, yes it was religiously Krowned and well washed as well.

 

What are you washing your truck with salt water? My 05 gmc is still mint. The only rust i were the tail pipe exits and a bit around to mud guards. Ive also Krowned mine since new

Atc what Dodge did you end up buying? Options ect. and a what price. Seaching autotrader I find prices all over the map. Heard an add on the radio for a jammed long horn 1500 for 45k?

Bohica is correct. If your tailpipe has soot in it it either has no dpf or the dpf is bad and can no longer trap soot particals.

Yep. We were warned about it so all good. Good running but much lube or cooling in areas

Westway

Im just heading back from Cochrane. I rode with 4 800etechs, 2 assults one a 600 the other an 800 and 2 1200 doos. We where riding hard all weekend at temps from plus 4-8. The 1200s always got the best milage followed by the etechs. The 2 polariss were close but always used more. No one was getting anymore them 200km per tank this weekend

Im in Orangeville and our area has gone nuts as well. People are selling there 1-2 million dollar homes in the city and moving this way. I know a lot of people wanting to cash out and move north but once your out of this hot market it's tough to get back in if you want to come back

Anyone know of a place to leave our trucks for a few days on the North side of Sudbury?

Well, since most Yamaha owners likely visit TY, I'd say your guess is as good as mine? 

You are correct, only it's 22 years old now, and I wouldn't trade it for any newer Polaris built in the last 10-15 yrs. Trust me, when I was looking to upgrade from my 95, I looked at nothing but Polaris but I didn't like what I was reading or seeing. It's too bad, Polaris had a good thing going, top of the market, better than average reliability, etc, etc, but unfortunately, even after all these years of trying to get it right, again, they continually get worse, year after year it seems. My take is, just like their Victory motorcycles, which were actually better built vehicles, they will likely also dump or sell their sleds too. 

8 Polari over 15 years?? Are you a bit concerned about reliability/dependability, whether they will get you home, whether your warranty dollars will run out, or do you just prefer not to venture down those avenues if you can help it? 

I have ridden newer sleds than my 08 Vector, and although some might ride slightly better or handle slightly better, there is nothing that makes me want to spend even a few grand let alone $10+ grand, to gain what? 

(Only a few more pics for you below as I didn't want to rub it in too much) 

I think I asked you this before, Yamadoo, but do you know the Sudsbury's from Dorset? They ride Yamaha's also, and have for years. They are smart like you and I as well. 

They're in the archives, Jesse. Didn't take much searching at all. 

I see I hooked a few, but was really hoping my old combatant, RR would have chimed in by now. I guess he finally grew wiser. 

Id rather ride something fun and exciting than a droning army tank with skis. Winters are to short. Who cares if a Yamaha can go 50000 miles? Any snowmobile can reach that many miles if you keep throwing enough money at it.

Word coming from the BRP dealer meeting last week is that the 850 has close to a 30% failure rate.

 

 

When the procross came out in 2012 what was the percentage of failures? I bet every unit built went back for some kind of warranty work.

What do you want for it?

Sold

I've always used Frank. Last time it was $250 for the 4.

Why not just get a sled with the second seat already fixed which also includes hand warmers for the passenger. The running boards are also in most cases better set up for the passengers feel. 

Because hes not 80 years old?

1200 doo hands down. 

Header is in mint condition. Located in Orangeville. $375

Wow thats a clean XLT!

I built a home in 2002 and it was full foundation. I questioned the builder and they told me it was standard procedure.
