STanner and Funmobile, Thank you for the replies. The whine is not excessively loud at all. i just noticed it when I had the rear window down a few days ago. I have 145k on her and have never noticed a slip, flair, or bump. The whine is the only thing that caught my attention when I had the...

Good advice. Hey thanks again man; I appreciate your time.

Thanks for the reply. "Preparation H Martini" :bwahaha: That was great! So was that $3,850 installed? If so that sounds like what I'll do. One transmission shop quoted $2,000 plus hard-parts to rebuild or $2,800 plus labor to r&r w/ a Jasper re-man.

So incredibly sorry to hear about John's departure, and yet so proud to know that he is in a better place. I'm also proud to see what TxPlates and contributors are doing in his memory. Keep up the good work and let me know if I can do anything to help. I need to visit EF and my ST fam here more...

My lady is a bit under the weather. I had the rear glass down last week and noticed, what I very loosely describe as a "supercharger-type" whine in 1st gear (nowhere near the sweet kenne bell sound). I took it to a mechanic this week and he said to go ahead and plan for a tranny. Does anyone...

I have an '03, 2wd, w/ a stock rear end. I pull a 20' regal bow-rider (3500lb) and have never experienced any problems on the ramp or highway. I will admit that I choose my ramps carefully (solid surface only). Very far and few in-between I get a little bit of spin on the ramp. At that point...

I want one of these......

That's what I needed to know. As always I really appreciate the help.

I searched and noticed info on the 2nd gens and a 2001, but does anyone know if the 2003 came w/ a controller harness if I have the 4pin connector already? I really appreciate any replies in advance -Darrell

Once again, great information. Thanks to each of you for the input.

ahahaha....

Thanks for all of the replies, friends. We're looking at ski/runabout type boats. I have my eye on one that is almost identical to this one. <a href="http://s175.photobucket.com/albums/w126/scotties2006/Boat" target="_blank">Rinker 212 BowRider</a> It's a 21' like the one shown. Based upon...

Does anyone regularly tow a boat w/ their 2wd Trac? If so what size? I know it will pull but I'm concerned about getting the boat/trailer out of the water. My wife and I are looking at the possibility of getting a boat but I don't want to be the guy that gets stuck on the ramp..lol Thanks...

LOL!! Yeah I could see the dudely looking woman from the 50cent website wearing it. It would be a terrible waste on her/it though. Correct me if I'm wrong Bill, but the large face and cross hatch guard were designed to resemble the side port or face plate of the older WW II diving helmets. A...

Oh man!!!! That's a Zlatoust isn't it? or how about a Bell & Ross vintage 126;)
