service manual
Hello i recently got a 2000 expedition 425 in very rough shape. The guy i got it from told me it was a 2002 so i purchased a 2002 expedition 425 manual. come to find out after i checked the vin it is a 2000. I am giving it a complete tune up with all new fluids and i bought everything the 02 manual said i would need. My question is now is anything completely different between the 2 years and also what about the amounts of fluid will they be the same atleast? The 02 manual says 5oz for front diff will the 2000 take 5oz as well? I have all the fluids and want to start but the new manual wont be here for a week.
Would there be a way to add a temp gauge to a 450?
Just wondering... would there be a practical way to add a temp gauge to a 450 engine? I read it's fairly easy to do on the V-twins, because the other cylinder has a dummy plug where the temp gauge goes on the opposite cylinder. What about us 1 cylinder guys? Out of luck? I also have a plan for a volt meter, but that's easy.

Suspension and ground clearance
So I have a 2009 800 Renegade with Elka Stage 5 shocks. 26" MSA MOTO MTC tires. I recently did a spring change on the shocks and reinstalled them. I previously had about 10" of ground clearance. I thought since I had the work done and had to adjust them I would go for the advertised ground clearance. I think it is 12". Just under 11" and I was not able to go any farther on the rear. It seems that I ran out of travel on the rear track arms or the shocks. Not sure which one for sure. Does anybody have any pointer or info. I want as much ground clearance as I can get yet still get proper performance out of my suspension. I don't think it is good for it to be adjusted all the way out. Maybe I am wrong though. Any advice would be great.
Thanks Everyone.

Under $20.00. Front storage trunk for my Outlander.
I was jealous of my buddy's new official Can Am front storage box, so I wanted one too. But being the cheap SOB that I am... I couldn't bring myself to pay $70 for it. So, here is my solution....
This water proof box from Amazon:

2 of these from Home Depot:

Things to note... It's 28 degrees outside and I don't have a heater, so I will cut the bolts that are sticking up a little shorter with my Dremel tomorrow. Also, I will silicone where the bolts are poking through, but... when I can get into a warm garage. I asked Santa for a garage heater this year. :)

Wheels and tires for Christmas!
Just ordered:
ITP ss216 12x7 wheels with 25x8-12 and 25x10-12 Kenda Bearclaw HTR tires for my wife’s 2017 570.
ITP Hurricane 14x7 wheels with 26x9-14 and 26x11-14 Kenda Bearclaw HTR tires for my 2017 850.
Will post some pics once I get them in and mounted up. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Ricochet skids and Duro Powergrips
Finally had some time today to put on on my ricochet ski plates. I'll echo what everyone else says, easy installation and great fit and coverage. I also ordered a set of Duro Powergrip v2 from Rocky mountain ATV shipped to my door for $349. 26x9-12 fronts 26x11-12 rears. Here's where I'm a little upset. I had them installed and they look awesome, but they seemed small. So after measureing with 7psi all around the fronts are 25" and the rears are about 24.75". Needless to say no where near 26". So now I can try and get a exchange with Rocky mountain, which I doubt they would do or just roll with these. Just pisses me off they can be that much smaller then 26"
What would it cost to fix the timing gear BEFORE it breaks?
Looking at a used 2010 XP touring 850....wonder what it would cost to have the timing gear replaced with the new version before it spins.
Can’t locate grease fitting
I have a 2010 Sportsman 500 HO with grease fittings front left and right as well as left and right in the rear. I located those with no problem and greased them. I am supposed to have a 5th grease fitting on the prop shaft or yolk. I'm starting to think there isn't one. Is that possible. No issues, just being proactive. If someone can enlighten me with pics or a better description, I'd sure appreciate it.
Thanks.
Thanks.
