well dont worry my engine is fine, but my bellypan not so good. i guess when i put my shocks back in, i didnt tighten then top bolt holding it in, kinda hard to forget about it. And well it fell out and my shock went right through my belly pan beside the shock tower. so i need a new bushing and bolt, not sure what to do with the belly pan blew a hole in it 5"x5". :face-icon-small-sad

another thing every time i make a thread, and i respond to it after no one will respond and it just gets lost, are my post invincible?

no you arn't invisble. that sucks!

i mounted my floats wrong and notched my upper mounts to make them fit. i had a mount break and do something similar. so i feel your pain. i replaced my mounts and put the shocks on right. live and learn

Cut a piece of sheetmetal to 6X6, bend to fit and use rivits to attach.....After awhile, you won't notice it......

Hey it takes quite a "sleder" to fess up to a simple mistake.
We all make mistake everyday, you'll remember next time and
other sleders will remember do to this post.
Most important, it goes without sayin', yer sled didn't hurt ya'!
Lesson learned. Patch the hole put some stainless rivets in get yer bolts
and move on to better things! :juggle:

The check engine light should flash a certain number of times. There is a sticky thread at the top of the 900 page that has the flash codes listed.

I'm looking at a black plastic garbage can next to my desk I'd cut something like that to patch your sled as long as it's strong enough to hold the rivits maybe less noticable. Use a little black RTV silicone from an auto parts store to go around it to keep the fine snow out.
