Hello,
I have owned a Ranger for about a year and one half. Since then, I have learned to HATE this product. The vehicle is virtually impossible to work on. A belt change can take as long as two hours to complete half way.

Recently the unit began hauling back on exceleration, seems that the cam shaft is worn and the head is screwed. During my work on the machine I did notice that the air filter was soaked with oil. The oil level for the engine is checked regularlly and is full.

With this said, and the machine used for light loads on a daily basis can nay one forward what might cause such a failure. The wonderful dealer I took it into, who took a month to look at it,,,is forwarding that the vehicle has been with out oil at some period of time to have caused this damage.

I am a guy who has a bobcat front loader that is so well maintained you could eat of the engine, so the dealers comment really pissed me off. I would love any imput...

I have a scrambler 500 and am surprised your ranger is that problematic. Anyway I would document all maintenance and take it to another
dealer and get a second opinion. I've had similar
problems with auto dealers. write polaris a letter
because they have a great rep.

 

i would be glad to take the ranger off your hands if it is a 99 model and its cheep 2 buy

 

i would be glad to take your ranger if you dont want it as long as it is delivered and its a 1999 model
