Has anyone had trouble with the side walls cracking on the rear. I don't run hard at all and the side walls are cracked all the way around and begining to move to the face of the tire. This has happened in a very short period of time. I look at the tires almost every day and check for problems. I'am running maxxis cerros tires, stock rims, at between 12 and 14psi in the rear. I wonder if the tires are not enough for the weight of the T2. The pressure I run is what is recomended on the sidewall.

I checked with the warehouse where I bought the tires (Chaparrel in Ca.) they want me to send the tires back of course at my expense then it will take a month for them to get back to me. I know that they will be pro rated for any refund or exchange and they are almost 1 year old so I think that I won't bother because it will end up costing me more than if I just buy new tires. You can bet it won't be from Chaparrel again.

Have you checked with Maxxis directly? When I got my BFG's pro-rated for cracks in the sidewalls I just took them to Discount Tire. They called BFG and I was able to use the pro-rated money on new tires at their store. It shouldn't matter where you bought them; however, I am not sure if Maxxis' warranty is a good as BFG's. BFG just wanted a tire "expert" to verify the damage so the warranty system isn't abused.

      That's the question! Or, if you want to add details:
      (a) How do you use the UTV? (roads? off-road to get to trees? etc.)
      (b) If you are wearing a helmet--how frequently? What type of helmet?
       
      My own answers: (a) Most of the time off-road to get to downed trees, cut the trees to logs and haul the logs back for splitting. (b) Very rarely, a ski helmet and not a motorcycle helmet.

      The rear differential lock light is on and I would like to get it off. How do I do that it is a Coleman UTV700.

      Hi All.  The splines are pretty well worn where the rear driveshaft fits into the adapter (boss?) on the rear of the engine.  I have a new driveshaft / adapter / seal to install but am having difficulty loosening the nut holding the adapter onto the transmission output shaft.  I purchased a chain-type vice grip tool thinking that I could get it around the adapter to prevent it from turning but have not had any luck getting it in there yet (very tight space).  What approaches have you used that have worked?  Thanks!

      Got a hisun sector 550 2019 that's got 5900 Miles on it, this year it started to getting hard to start in morning, once I get it started it works good the rest of the day. But to start it in the morning I got to hold the gas pedal to the floor and it will fire up. I replaced the fuel injector but didn't help it. So I just ordered a new air filter and 02 sensor and a maf sensor to put on it to see if this will fix it. Anyone else had this problem. I'm hoping the parts I ordered will fix it. I also bought a new battery to put in it also.

      I would really like to know what you guys think about this. I'll try not to ramble and make it as clear as I can.
       
      I took this new job with companyX as a fiber splicer a year ago. I have a 45' bucket truck and 10or12 x 8 ft enclosed splice trailer I have to take home. Within the last 6 months all the management in the splice dept left. Now the power/construction management and higher ups are filling in. Just recently we were told travel to our 1st job is not payable even though we are in a company vehicle. 
      We are union so I asked the union business manager about this. His reply was be grateful you were paid travel as long as you were and that you don't have to drive your POV to the job.
       
      Last week I had 50hr total. The job area is 4-4.5 hrs away. My time was reduced to 44.5 hrs since we were told this travel thing on Tuesday of that week. I wasn't hired for this area. I was hired for area a lot closer to home. 
       
      Pay is good. Work is not hard. Insurance is through the union and so far pretty good.
      But I hate the thought of having to work extra just to make a 40hr paycheck. Anyone who has to drive as part of their job knows windshield time is not easy.
       
      Anyway what do you guys think. Should I look for a different job or just suck it up because of the decent pay and health insurance.
