You dont measure pistons, cylinders, crankshafts, etc. We ride in the mountains. Ive blown an engine miles from the trail in 5 feet of bottomless powder. It took 1.5 days of disassembling that sled so that 3 of us were able to pack it out. Everything on the sleds get inspected before every trip. And engines get torn down every 2000 miles. And while some pistons are usable, they all have enough slop to warrant replacement. And yes, most times I notice a performance increase. Tighter fit, better compression, better horsepower. Been yrs but last motor we blew in the hills was rebuilt right there the next day . Put a bacon under the hood covered it in snow. Brought back pistons a jug and head next day . It is worse when you wreck em that has cost a few buds the 2500 to put it on the hook and fly it out . Insurance paid for 1 guys but not the other progressive paid All-State did not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't a belt or plugs, us trail guys just tow it to the nearest road and send someone for the truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do everything in my power, knowledge and ability to not pay for a helicopter. I dont carry insurance on my mtn sleds. Dont have to worry about hitting someone else, and if I wreck it, I fix it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just marked it with GPS. Didnt bother trying to hide it, if someone would have found it that far back, in the dark, I would have given them a fist bump for for having a big set.

Deephaven Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 No new engine, no new chassis. BNG and the only saving grace is that Doo and Poo are sold out of their snowchecks by the time Cat opens theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdsky Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Have to think that if Cat had anything new they would have at least done a Poo and posted a teaser but then again there may be nobody left in Cat marketing that knows how to post a video clip on the interwebs......

There’s probably gonna be 15-20 new part numbers on the new cats this year according to someone with solid information.. The number just depends on how intricate the new graphics are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
