Carnage share thread

Rear differential on the most clapped Honda Rancher I've seen run and drive. Front was the same. 0 fluid, all dirt. Not sure how they even did it.

Bad seal/swamped with dirty water repeatedly?

Yup, guy bought a used mud quad and had no idea what he got into. Had sunk $2k into fixing the transmission somewhere else and they somehow didn't notice how the machine around it was falling apart.
 
Selectable locker in the trans/diff assembly on a 900 ranger gave up. Unit still drives fine and oddly doesn't make noise.

Ya thats a known issue with no fix other than to swap the "selectable carrier" for a "spool/non selectable unit" . The generals are even worse at blowing those things up. Guessing its the bigger tires and/or driving habbits.

I really liked that feature as it makes a big difference in turning radius and of course doesnt mess up your grass if your worried about that. They just will not stay together. They are usually more quiet after they vent the rear housing too oddly enough. Go figure its a piece of polaris design.

I don't see anything wrong.......


Pull the big chunks out, Gorilla tape over the hole and you are good to go. Add gear oil occasionally to keep it lubed and when it stops leaking fill it again. :laughing:

Actually if you want to spend the coin you can update it to the 2018+ 1000 style that has a traditional spider gear setup like a normal diff instead of the orbital gear setup. We've only seen one of those fail and it was a manufacturing issue.
 
Well it has been over a year since I have worked with any Polaris shit, but we had several that broke. Mainly generals with 32's on them but some rangers too with bigger tires. Which is more a tire size problem than component problem. We were doing away with the rear locking feature all together. Only way to make sure to not have to spend the money again.

If you run it out of oil. The pinion teeth will melt off before the ring gear teeth do.

I believe that. I just remembered this and don’t think I posted them yet.

My neighbor’s YJ with chevy 350, lifted and on Baja Claws 35s, D30 and D35 axles. He is very very abusive to it. Burnout, doing donuts in a field at WOT for 30 minutes straight to name a few, just a total drunk dickhead with too much disposable $ driving it like he stole it.

He broke the ARB carrier somehow, the cross pin came loose and jettisoned out the cover, leaked oil out and burnt up gears. He had some mystery guy to put new gears and a Detroit locker in it. The install was shitty, so I’m not sure what failed first. Most likely axle shaft broke and killed the locker.

I convinced and built him a F8.8. I drew-weld dicks on it. :laughing:

That's what I'm thinking, customer just brought the transmission in saying it was leaking....
 
so i managed to bend a dana 60 rear housing. i think because my truss was a weaker design it lead to this failure. if it would have been boxed in vice one plate in the middle i think it would not have bent.
i pulled one axle shaft last night and i had to work at pulling it out because it was bound in the spindle. i mean work at it....

i was hitting alot of ledges and bumping up and i remember one was a violent hit that left us sitting in the cab like bobble heads. and did not make it up either.

I've tried to explain that to a wheeling buddy that wants to LS swap his rig and get rid of the anemic Datsun engine in there now. The three times a year he goes wheeling he breaks enough stuff with the Datsun engine, so can only imagine how bad it would be with actual horsepressures.
