If you don't want to buy a code scanner, and there are some REALLY expensive ones out there, I think Napa might even rent them now.
That would be where I would start. Way too many sensors and computer stuff on the newer vehicles to just start randomly replacing parts.

That's new enough that your computer in the truck should give you a code. I think I just saw the code scanners on sale for $50 or something at Schucks? ![Huh](https://atvconnection.com/forums/images/smilies/huh.gif)
They are pretty standard anymore and the Chilton or Haynes will have a list for the codes specific to your truck. In fact, the Sno-Isle library has most of those manuals online from their website now. I even found the service manual for my Z400.
The codes are pretty helpful.

I did do a bunch of maintenance stuff to it today (overdue anyhow) (tune up basicly),,,so we will see how she does once i get the serpentine belt on

Good afternoon PSAR!
Looks like the barn is doing well Jayna, now to fill it with hay, saddles and all the rest of the stuff. Enjoy!
Been where the internet ain't for awhile, not even going to try to ketchup on all the talk. Back for a few days and it's off again. Been putting on a lot of miles on the quad in the mountain pasture. Sure is pretty and quiet in them thar hills.
Have a great evening.

Naches ride is the weekend the critters will have off before the clinic, then Sandy Turkey... LOTS of great stuff to look forward to.
Sounds like it would be fun to come toddle around in the mountains with you Mike.
Thanks for the information on a new area to checkout in Eastern Washington, Mark. You will like the Naches. It's a good challenge for all levels and some really beautiful area to ride.
Done nailing on the roof for the night. Off to drop some grain for the hayburners. Have a great night everyone.

What kind of roof are you putting on Jayna? Metal or shingle? Over here we use heavy gauge metal, double screws and glue the seams to keep the wind from ripping it off. Even at that we lost some tin off the big house last spring. Just got the replacement metal as the pattern is no longer standard and we had to have it rolled out down in Brooks Or. Bought enough to last for the next several years I hope.
Haven't used any of my saddles for a number of years but still keep them around. No horses on the place anymore, just quads. We have six of them now, two little Suzuki kid size, one Bayou 250 two wheel drive which SWMBO has laid claim to and three of the Prairie 360's. We've had really good luck with them all and I appriciate the advice of the folks that advised me not to get China quads for the kids. Have some neighbors that have bought those and they are always having problems. Only quad we have had a problem with was a 360 one of the guys backed a big ol tractor over. Kind of overloaded the quads suspension a bit.
Since we no longer run the place the quads don't get the milage they used to but the new operators keep coming around and asking for help. Kind of like it as it gets me away from all the remodel stuff around the home place.
Have a good night.
