Doonit

Hit Dumont for our last trip and it was just too hot and W was there all weekend. Glad to hear Mother G was a blast. Dunes look buttery smooth. 

Headed out first week of APril for our last trip. We start in dumont for the Halloween fest and end in dumont April/May with glamis all in between. Awesome post. Looks like fun. 

Same…..years into the show and with all the glory holes….nothing. Once the elderly man passed (forgot his name) I lost interest and they still haven’t uncovered much for all the work up. 

Always the same response 🤦🏻‍♂️…..why try and be cool to “force” ur car to wheelie over a blind burm that is the START line at olds?  Even if u spotted it on the way down a kid or any duner could have lined up for a race which is what that burm is typically used for. Guess mr sandcar doesn’t realize he could have gone to the right side and run the “hill” instead he likes the biggest deepest whoops and risking all the smaller vehicles…..olds…..fun but the newbs. Safe riding all

At this point, this is your gamble and you will need to understand the consequences of your decisions. 

If the gear noise has gotten progressively worse with use over the past few runs, then it most likely means you have a gear that is wearing out, and you will have a limited amount of time before it eventually fails.

If the noise has always been there since you received it back from a fresh service and it was deemed ok to run agin, and has not gotten any louder with use, then there is a chance that you simply have a noisy gear. But that does not mean the gear is not wearing out either. 

The consequence of running until it breaks is all of those little bits and pieces running through the other gears since there is no magnet in that portion of the housing to catch them. A $400 3rd gear can turn into a $2000 1st-4th set in a matter of seconds after it breaks. 

The gamble comes with not knowing what exactly is happening in the trans. Even changing the oil and checking the magnet is not going to prove that nothing is going wrong and about to fail. 

I would put it this way, if you are ok with dealing with the expense of replacing every gear in the trans after it breaks, then run the piss out of it and have a tow strap ready to get your car back to camp. If you are the type that would rather play it safe and would be ok with not having the car to use while you wait for parts to save a bunch of money, then pull the trans and get it serviced before your wallet gets a lot lighter. 

It's your choice, it's up to you to weigh your options and make the best decision that suits you and your budget. 

Thank you sir! 

Will do. Thanx duning family always appreciated. 

Second season after rebuild running a 2D/outfront subi combo with 930’s and a light 4 seater AG car.  Always clutch to shift and jump/land, don’t clutch dump, run the hill a little 2-3x/weekend max but otherwise we dune 2-3 fun rides a day.  Ricky boy from Wright transmission in riverside/Corona rebuilt last season and when I called about 3rd ONLY whining he advised “run” it because parts are out AND he says these are the most coarse gears out of the set and are loud gears. My question is how far/long do I “run it” before I really get into trouble or have an even “bigger/more costly” failure OR is this pretty typical of 2Ds?  It “whines” in 3rd only and it’s not crazy loud but my second gear is stealthy silent. So only whiney under power, coasting in neutral or with clutch in or under low load no whine. Lastly when I put the tranny in last season first trip 3rd and 4th were obviously louder than 1st/2nd out of the box and I trust Rick. Am I just paranoid or is this a tell tale sign of 3rd giving out? Thanks in advance and yes sorry for “another 2d” post. I know ALOT of you have been here and done that so that’s the info I’m looking for.  

Guna be a dream car!!!! Subi 6 banger let’s goooooo😎

It’s terrible out here 🤣 rolled in Thurs night and enjoying the weekend 

So nice she’s looking awesome. Getting lots done. !!!
