Service Bulletin BS201312 - Slide Rail End Caps 2013 Ms

[sledrider]

didn't that hole you drilled out get pretty close to the back edge of the cap like paper thin close

was gonna do mine that way, then went with bdx caps.

BDX caps are just factory caps drilled out. They have cats part number on them.

dump the stock wheels, this is the BDX kit

i thought the general concensus was to leave the outer wheels in place??

Not unless you want bent rails.........just look how they are mounted and imagine the twisting forces applied to the rails.........even going down a bumpy trail your rails are probably bending back and forth as those wheel hit bumps

some people will never have an issue with it but when you do it will ruin your day

thanks,

tomorrow my anti-stab kit goes on and the idler wheel delete kit. i will remove the inner and outer wheels.

i will also try to get another rod for in between the rails where the inner wheels were

i noticed on my delete kit, the rod or axle is not threaded. is the rod that holds the front shock threaded, or is it just one long bolt? confused

 

[SaberKitty]

Shock is long bolt.

so does the BDX inner idler wheel kit for the 07&up fit the 13s?

SW is where I found out, now bdx anti-stab for me... don't even have these new caps on

It was a "service bulletin" not a recall.
Cat does not contact owners for service bulletins, they only instruct dealers to install the next time sled is in for service......
That being said my dealer did contact me.
