2006 450 4×4 problem.

I’ll start off by saying what the problem is and what I have done.

4×4 or AWD always seems to be on.

I have disassembled the front diff and nothing seems amiss.
Hillard clutch assemble is fine, cage intact and nothing obvious broken.
flushed and refilled the the front diff and it seemed to be working until this weekend.
back to 4×4 all the time.

does anybody know what the coil resistance should be at the plug ??

The switch seems to work as is should, the indicator goes on and off with the switch and well as the diagnostics screen shows the switch working.

I’ve kind of run out of ideas and a little stumped.
its a very simple system.
anybody else have any other ideas ??

Brakes locking up.

I’m working on my friends 2003 trailblazer 250. The issue is the brakes lock up slowly. You can bleed them and ride and through out the day the handle gets stiffer and stiffer eventually locking all brakes up. It has had all brake lines replaced except rear. So I was wonder could the master cylinder be causing it?

Got out this past Saturday with Blklab

Blklab and I hooked up Saturday for a great day of riding. He swung by and picked me up at 06:15 and by 07:00 we were at the Country Cafe chowing down on some good breakfast! We then proceeded to ST Joe state park. It was awesome weather, cool and sunny in the am and reached mid 70s later on. This was my first ride of the season, but more importantly it was Blklabs first ride on his brand new 15 700 Grizz!!! This was his first ATV trail riding in a year! Last time we rode together was Easter last year when he still had his AC 400 and we haven’t ridden together since until Saturday due to an injury he had on the job.

Anyway we had a great day! Couldn’t get him to quit smiling,
so I’m pretty sure he likes the new Grizz. :icon_ goofy:

Here’s Blklab on his maiden voyage.

And a few more pics.

Width Difference Between 2015 & 2016

I’ve been browsing the forum for a while researching the 2016 700 as I am considering buying one. I know the earlier models were tipsy unless you installed offset rims or spacers. My question is, does the 2016 have a more stable wider stance than the 2015 in stock form? And is the 2016 a more comfortable ride?

Thanks in advance!
