Awesome glad it helped! Thanks for the comment!

I've been really happy with them. I towed with them all summer and they are performing really well.

lol What?

I unfortunately do not have access to a scale where I could do that testing. I wish I did but there was no place local that would let me just drive over. What do you mean by tire weight max?

What is the load rating of your tires it can make a difference on Sway.

@@stanfordbanks3399 115 so 2,679lbs

@@omi_in_a_hellcat haha thank you and good luck!

I do not have a good answer for you. Last time I needed cables, the correct ones were in stock. IT looks like the two ends are the same, but the portion that bolts to the power valve housing may be different. I have no way of telling. I have heard of guys going to a bicycle shop and having them make new cables. So that is maybe something you can try! Good luck!

@@fixer2u Thank you for the quick response! I'm going to do a bit more research.

@@steksson8379 You're welcome. I hope you find what you need!

They have been holding just fine. I have used this setup to pull a V8 engine out of a boat and slide it out of the way and an engine out of a tractor. Very happy I did this, have used it a lot.

Glad it worked!

I know that, it was too late to fix the vid once I uploaded!

I would start by checking the carb boots for leaks and maybe the crank seal behind the primary. Sounds like its possibly sucking too much air from someplace if messing with the carb screws doesn't help. Could also be the reeds are wearing out.

@@robmatte9583 remember this is extended to 136 so there will be more sag at the same tension. The info in the manual is obsolete as far as using the weight because the skid is extended. Talking to guys in cat forums the common suggestion is to run as loose as you can without ratcheting. So this is where I run mine without any issues. I do appreciate you taking the time to write a comment though so thank you!

@@fixer2u So it's a trail and error to get the right tension do to the extended length? I'm used to regular trail tracks that's the only reason I popped my nose in, but I am looking into a rebuild and extending the track from 121 to 136 so this is great information.

@@robmatte9583 Short answer yes... There is no manual written for a ZR3 chassis with a 136" extension. Maybe a crossfire procedure or something along those lines will work also but this is where we are at.

@@DavidSpangler-c2y ahh nice! Glad it helped!

@@NicholasBlesh 12ah is what I meant!

@@excdalmt7807 I do not own any yet!

@@kseries6135 I dont enjoy getting gas everywhere....

@@dilyastlouis6162 haha thank you!

@@cozmicmojo2181 Awesome! Glad if helped!

@@thermos750 Thanks for the comments! Glad it helped! Good luck!

Thanks for the comments!

Yes this one has a standard 110/120V outlet. Thanks for the comments!

First off are you sure it's a real Milwaukee battery or a fake? Second, have you tried opening it up and checking the cells as I did in the video?

@@KuyaKulitgaming-ie2np thank you! So far I have not run into that issue so no. But I think there are others out there that have made that video!

It is hard to say without seeing the battery myself... Did you check the cells to see what they were at?

Ugh! That sucks.... I did get the set I have at harbor freight if you have one near by if that's quicker. Thank you for the comments! and good luck!

@@fixer2u Yep it does...extended bit set arrived today...tonight I operate. Appreciate you.

@@robertleemurrerjr.8245 awesome! Well good luck!

I know that but unfortunately Milwaukee doesn't have one!

@fixer2u I used a 106b+ charger. Soldered leads onto each section in the battery. Saved several batteries using this method. There is a tutorial on TH-cam.

@@waynemueller6893 Oh great, I will have to look that up. Thank you!

What happens if you put the battery in a tool and try and use it then hitting the battery checker?

Ill have to try that because the Flex Paste did not hold up!

@@thebackwoodsmechanic5029 thanks man! I've seen your vids before. Great stuff! Subscribed!

IT would probably work. I have also seen guys "jump start" the batteries just as you would a car. Hook them up to another MX battery positive to positive and negative to negative to help bring the voltage up so that the charger will charge it.

Yeah go ahead on the older ones, but on the new ones, I would just take them back to home depot again. Sounds like a bad batch of batteries. No excise for them to be acting like that right out of the box!

@@fixer2u Thanks for the advice. Here is the rest of the story. The 4th one that was charging last night got a green light but was still dead (1 flashing light). I put it right back on the charger and charger showed red again. Went back to it this morning, green again, but this time the battery shows 4 full bars and is over 20V. First of the 4 batteries to get here. I am also hopeful the next charge cycle for the 3rd battery will get to 4 bars. I believe the batteries are from a different batch. My first kit came from an online order(warehouse), the 2nd kit came from a local home depot and the dates were a couple months older. I ended up in home depot today and told my experience to one employee who sent me to another. Neither had heard of the issue before. Both agreed shouldn't happen. Came up again in conversation with a 3rd employee who said, "they don't make them like they use to".

@@texasroots Interesting. Well lets hope the "newer" batch works well!

I tried that method as well.. My issue is it would only charge to 2 bars, then die very soon during use so it would not get to drain, then would not charge properly.

You bet!!!

I have left mine over night. When it fully charges it says full and stops.

Thanks man! Last question - can I charge two banks at once with different wires using different slots?

@@brettdavis2446 No you cannot. It will fry your charger.

@ thanks for your help. Also, I noticed when I opened my battery up, on the bottom it shows you which sides are + and - . Thought I’d pass that along

@@brettdavis2446 It does! I did discover that later on! Thanks for the comment!

Great, Hope it helps!

Thank you!

Really... hrmm I didnt seem to have that issue... Maybe my probes are just that sharp? Haha

Either will work!

@@fixer2u awesome thanks!

@@debandmike3380 You.re welcome!

@@fixer2u I got my charger today and was having difficulty getting readings. Apparently there is a thin plastic layer over the connecting tins that you have to scrape away before attaching the charge wire. I put an note in the comments.

Dewault does the same thing....

LMAO! That's one way to do it!

I am having the same issue especially since I lengthened the skid to 136". Next week I am actually going to sboot a video on that where I upgrade the torsion springs to "fat boy" springs. 0704-944 and 0704-945. I am told that will help with our issue!

@@fixer2u I have an 01 ZR800 (non CC model) I bought 2 years ago and same issue with rear end sag. I installed the fat boy springs you mentioned that my local dealer happened to have still in stock. It definitely fixed the issue. I did have to cut them down to work since they stuck a good ways out through the block that is mounted on the bottom rail.

@@aaronreinhart5290 Thanks for the message! I actually just did that mod and have a video coming out tomorrow on it. I had to do exactly what you said in cutting them down a bit! Yes seems to have fixed the issue. Have not been able to ride it yet but hopefully next week!

Yeah this one has seen some things for sure! The speaker was for the 8 track player he has on it!

Me too! Haha.

Is the firing order correct. Maybe just the video but sounds like a miss. 1342 firing order.

@@SteveChing-u5p I think its hitting on all 4 but I will double check. The main thing is multiple bad exhaust leaks making it sound weird.

I guess??

Thank you for the info! Since making this video I have had to redo several of the batteries. I have 2 9ah that have had to do this several times and 2 that have never needed this. I should crack the other ones open and compare the batteries in them to see if they are indeed LG vs Samsung!

I believe most of what you say. What I've found to be the case is battery that doesn't accept a charge. Freeze them lightly. Put them in a microwave for 15 seconds. It wants to explode the being cold then being metal and in a microwave they want to explode. Something about the killing the ions with cold and the radioactivity in that binds the 2 ions with lithium

Milwaukee’s M12 and M18 battery systems are widely criticized for issues like battery failure, compatibility issues across tools and chargers, complicated troubleshooting, and battery warranties much shorter than their tool warranties. Considering how complicated and potentially dangerous the fixes are, it’s unsurprising Milwaukee plays dumb and lets these complicated and potentially dangerous fixes pile up on TH-cam. Will you trust Milwaukee when you buy your next tool or battery?

@LM-ii6fd well that's going to be a tough argument to win because they are by far blowing out all of the competition around them in the United states. And that's a fact. If you understood how much business they were taking away from DeWalt and all the other competitors you wouldn't have a lot to say I promise you. There's a reason that they are the top of the food chain in the United States for sale and for product and for warranty. They have the longest warranty on the market by a landslide so you tell me how a company has the confidence to give that type of warranty of 5 years when the rest of competition isn't even close if they sell a bad product? I think they stand behind their product. I'm like DeWalt that gives a 1-year warranty free replacement and then a 3-year limited warranty which Milwaukee blows out of the water.

@LM-ii6fd every single company intentionally and unintentionally comes out with flaws because it's planned obsolescence. Also other companies like Samsung Play apart because they have to do their job as well because they make the battery cells or the circuit boards which supply Milwaukee's brand. Flaws happen all the time specially with first generation products. Look at the DeWalt 60 volt battery it has more problems than any other battery I've ever seen on the market. And I literally work 12 to 16 hours on batteries all day long for the last 16 years. So most of the time it is due to the user of the battery or tool is why it fails out because they do not know how to manage the product properly. I think most business owners or suppliers would understand this and agree with this. But yes product does go bad because they want it to. Unfortunately that's the nature of the beast but I get in every type of battery from all different types of manufacturers and companies and I will guarantee you right now that DeWalt has a far less Superior battery and the 60 volt battery I've never seen have more problems than any other battery out on the market hands down. But it is a very complex system but most the time it's something simple like they did not seal their battery correctly so dirt and grime gets in it and that's what stops the connection most the time. But there's also a design flaw that looks like it's intentional on the front right battery of the 20 volt. Where they put aluminum foil on top of the metal so it heats up and breaks apart creating a separation between the connection and that happens more than people would think. Like I said I rebuild them all day long all different types of batteries from all different manufacturers. So I'm working it every single day so I know the product better than most and the ones who just say stuff because they had a bad experience or hear something have nowhere close to experience that I do single day

Thank you!

Ahhh interesting. I have not had to try this with my 2023 yet so have nothing to compare to. Thank you for the comments. I hope it all works out for you!

Interesting... Ive had mine on all summer and have not noticed that at all.. Did it start right away?

Have you checked the voltage of the cells as in the video?

Yeah that's fine, but most people don't have a torque wrench so I was showing it as if you don't have one. Thank you for the info though!

You're welcome!
