I'm hoping you guys can answer a couple of my questions:
1) The August-September 2001 issue of All terrain Vehicle stated the 375 4x4 has adjustable socks. True or not? I thought only the i models had adjustable shocks.
2) In ATV Magazine's Buyers' Guide the 375 has a temperature-controlled fan, although no where in the Cat 2002 book does it mention a fan. So does it have a fan?
3) Lastly, I was wondering your overall impression of the 375. All the magazines say good things in regards to the Eiger but its hard finding honest review for Cats (not trying to rehash the AC review debate). Also does anyone regret not buying the 400 due to the fact it has liquid cooling. Any info would be great, thanks.

1. Shocks are not adjustable
2. Fans IS temp controlled.
3. I LOVE my 375 4x4.

Do some searches on my posts to find more out about my 375.

Thanks ethernut!!!!! I wonder what the tester was smoking when he thought he could adjust the shocks! I'll do some snooping later tonight.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I can address the liquid cooling question, since I own the 400 and my brother has the 375...

The cooling fan on the 375 goes off LESS often than the fan on my 400. All around, I think the 375 is a better machine, and better value than the 400. The only thing my 400 has over the 375 is that I can shift it (I prefer this over automatics).

I'm a little slow sometimes. Do you mean that the fan runs more on the 375 or 400?
I know that the 375 has a huge oil cooler, I hear that it is allmost immposible to overheat.

Hmmm, I guess that was a little fuzzy of me. Let me eschew obfuscation by saying that the fan on my 400 goes on MORE often than the 375. So either the 375 requires less cooling, or has a more efficient cooling system (air and oil).

And the oil cooler is about the same size as the radiator on my 400. VERY beefy.

(Oh, and to save time for those of you who'd bother to look it up, eschew obfuscation means "avoid confusion&quot.

A dealer told me that the 375 has almost as much snort as the 500. Seems like everyone is pretty happy, I've been toying with the idea of moving up a couple of sizes. Overall the little 250 does a hell of a job, but with my girlfriend riding with me I'd like a little more power. Hopefully the 03 models will have a locker... Thanks for all the help!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Before we get started, Im not trying to make anybody mad, I am just trying to help. I test drove a 375 and was not impressed. I thought it was underpowered. However, it had a decent ride, and good brakes. After driving it, I bought a Kodiak, which I love.

The shocks are not adjustable but it does have a Temp. controlled fan along with oil cooling. The fan bareley comes on and when it does it is only for short periods of time. The ride is great and it is a very nice machine. It has loads of power and plows great. I've been driving it in the snow ever since i got it and have had no problems. Overall i love it and it is GREAT for the money. Feel free to ask me any questions and check out my pictures.
