Outlander Max XT in a 6.5′ Truck Box??

Hey Everyone,

Right now I have a 2012 GMC Sierra Ext Cab with an 8' Box and my Outlander Max XT fits no problem. For my next truck, I'd like to get a Crew Cab with an 8' box but in order to do that I'd have to go up to a 3/4 Ton and the wife isn't cool with that. In order to stay in a 1/2 ton, I'd have to get a Crew Cab with a 6.5' box.

Would an Outlander Max fit in a 6.5' box if I took the tailgate off? Reason I'm asking is for when I tow my camper I can't have the tailgate down.

Thanks for putting up with the long winded question.

Cooling in a 2007 500 HO EFI

Noticed today that the fan on my ATV does not seem to be running at all. Things smelled a little warm before I could get to a place to shut it off. Not real bad but not happy about it. What is the right way to approach checking out the cooling system (water pump, thermostat, temperature sensor, fan) to see what needs fixed?

Thanks Guys!!!

Elka’s Stage III – Patiently Waiting

Well, I finally pulled the trigger. I rode a bike equipped with top-of-the-line Elka's 6 years ago and since then I have never ridden anything else that compared. I am finally pulling the trigger and getting a custom-built set of Stage 3's for my bike. I sold the factory Fox Podium 1.5 QS3's that came on my bike and I'm just waiting on the Elka's to show up. Pretty stoked!

Won’t Stay Running…fuel issue?

Out riding this weekend and my wife was on her 2015 Sportsman 570 EPS. We had hit some pretty aggressive trails and were on the main road back to camp. Just cruising in low. She said the throttle started acting weird and unresponsive, then killed.

It was a little warm, but no codes. Opened the gas lid and quite a bit of pressure came out. Towed back to camp.

The gas was a bit old (8-9 months). Drained all the gas by pulling the fuel line and turning key (priming). Added new gas. It fired right up but was sluggish and kept missing as I was trying to run it. Pulled spark plug (NGK MR7F) and cleaned it up. It started running a little bit better, but still not 100%.

I'm about to go search town for a new NGK plug but I'm also aware of the fuel pump issue. I hope it's not that. Has anyone had just a fouled plug or bad gas do this? Or is it 99% of the time a bad fuel pump?

Thanks!
