97turbo

Genos Garage

It's all good , hard to tell from pics on the Internet . I did order a 10,000lb , 3" x 27' ratchet strap from an industrial supply company for the back. Rzr sits all on the bed, no side to side movement because of its width and will be tied down very well. I am also a pretty mello driver,I recently took out my 100 plate and put the 10 back in, going for economy on this trip, 64mph @ 1900 rpms is good for me.... Let people pass me all they want.

And if DPS were to stop me if I was In that state, first thing I would do is tell the officer to undo the front strap. If he can't do that then he has no reason to question how the machine is tied down. It is secure, even without additional straps.

The way the Rzr is strapped its not going anywhere . I only used the 2 straps for test drive purposes. I will have more straps on it next week when I make the trip. There was no front or rear movement , and definitely no side to side movement, with the dirt road I ran on as part of the test drive if it was gonna move it would have done it then.

^^^^ Very cool, I'll have to check some of those other areas out.

Second time down there and going to Pocahontas again. I've been to Ashland don't really like the setup. Pocahontas is laid back, much easier to get around, cheaper and still has access right to the trailhead via the Rzr , can ride the whole HM trail system from the resort also.

I strapped across the back of the Rzr thru the frame of the machine to the two most rearward stake pockets. Then strapped thru the frame in the front to the two tie down pockets in the bed. Seemed pretty stable and secure.

Yep, HM. Trailered there last time, don't feel like pulling the trailer and after a test drive its like almost no weight in the bed. I'm after better fuel mileage and I think this will help. Plus none of the hassles associated with the trailer.

It fits, now just gotta figure out the tie downs .[ATTACH]5786[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5787[/ATTACH]

Gotta put it in front to cab , wheel base is 77" so that's about 6.5ft which would put the heaviest part of the Rzr over the rear axle, so that should be good. My thoughts are hauling it in the back of the truck would save on fuel opposed to hauling it on a trailer ( wind resistance) ?

I've got a 2013 Rzr S LE , I'm thinking with fluids etc 1500lbs or less, I normally tow it behind my pickup on a 6x10 trailer. Heading down to Pocahontas for the 4th of July weekend ( which is approx 520 mile drive ) and wonder if it would be better to just put it in the back of my truck. Looking at safety issues as well as fuel economy. Truck is a 97 Dodge 2500 4x4 12 valve diesel with an 8 foot bed. It has helper springs and Timbrens.

Ok, just checked it out, very little side to side movement , cannot get it to touch housing, no movement to front and back that I can tell by hand. Guess its ok !

This is another source, no personal experience with them though . http://www.dieselpickups.com/diesel-pickup-trucks-for-sale.html

Here where I got my 97. Had it shipped in to PA. I got a one owner, no rust , unmolested truck. Worth every penny. http://www.ridesunlimitedchicago.com/ I'm pretty sure they could possibly locate a truck for you also.

I don't have the tools to do the measurements. I bought the truck last year with 131k on it. I always ran the factory spec filters, I just put the BHAF on it and noticed then how it looked. Truck runs well, doesn't have any issues that I can tell.

I'll check it out in the morning.

Nope, not touching the housing , I don't think.... Hmmm maybe I need to check it out a little closer.

That pic is after it was cleaned.

[ATTACH]5768[/ATTACH]Just under 140k on the truck.

I did the BHAF a few days ago, I have not seen any loss of performance . I actually think my truck is running better.

Well, I don't have access to a dyno, but I really think my truck is running exceptionally well with the BHAF . Bottom line is my truck will stay cleaner in the right places.

Try turning the wheel side to side with the truck off. It's easier to do with the tires in the air, so jack it up and get em off the ground .

I just installed the BHAF , Napa 2790. So far I like it. I dont know if i really see any change in performance , but if I have better filtration and keep the turbo and engine cleaner it's a win/win to me. Cheap, and easy. I want to say my seat of the pants dyno feels more performance , but we will leave that alone.

I just installed the BHAF . I noticed wear on the blades of the turbo and I could move the shaft it sits on around, so what's your thoughts, solutions for the turbo issues ?
