#61 Re: Ranger and RZR Parts and Accessories » Ranger cup holders?? » 2008-09-17 14:27:56
Where can I get a set of cup holders that will hold a full size coozie.
This is the next up grade to my 08 700xp.
I would like something that is custom made to fit in the middle lower part of the dash.
Any of you guys know a supplyer for something like this?

Ok I got my Ranger back today and they fixed it. It is almost silent. The problem was in the center transfer case.
They told me that polaris sent them a new upgrade gear set for it. They also told me there was some water in the oil but that
was not the problem. Is wasnt good anyway. It was loud from the first day.
Very little sound from it now. And the bad clunking sound between gears is almost gone also. I was not expecting to to be as good as it it. Now it makes my teryx sound loud.

Thanks for your help. Im sure I wont do any mods to the ranger. I definetly dont want to lose the single wheel drive.
I use it too much for yard work and golf corse. (i dont golf, just hang out there sometime) That is a big plus for the ranger.
They told me it would be the end of next week before they got the parts and installed them. I hope they have a good polairs mechanic. I will check all the fluids when I get it back also. That is kinda scarry.
Im sure I will have some questions for you. I dont know anyone around close that owns one.
Thats Another reason I bought the teryx my son is 15yrs old and we can ride together.
Ill let all you know how it turns out and what parts were changed.

Well I just got into the side x side thing about two 1/2 months ago. I looked around and when I seen the ranger I liked it.
I liked the way it looked and the large bed so I can haul my 100lb lab and a big cooler.
I talked to the dealer today and they told me that polaris is sending a new design gear set to quieten the drive belt. I cant wait to get it back. You are right they are two different rides. Im glad to have them both.
I can tell you that the ranger was thought out well. Everything is snorkeled up where it needs to be. And all the electrial
as well. The reryx is not. Except the air box. I am giong to do all the rest myself.
When the ranger gets back Im going to have some video on you-tube.

I took it in saturday and the dealer drove it. He said they need to look into it. I have not got a call back yet on what they found. After I dropped it off I went and bought a new 08 tereyx 750le. They took it out of the crate and loaded it up in the truck. When I get the ranger back Im going to do my own side x side line up and post on you tube. I like them both alot.
The 750 v-twin has more torque than the 700 inline. But the 700 is 3 or 4 mph faster. The polaris is fuel injected and the teryx has cards. Two thums up for the polaris ranger. The ranger is a little wider. The teryx does not have a fuel guage on the
dash :cry:
The polaris has the better ride HANDS DOWN!
Theres a lot to say about both these machines. They are both 2008 le editions. This is going to be fun.

I have a 2005 xp and from what i know is that the transmissions tend to make a whining sound and it seems to be normal, I would at least check if there is metal in the fluid but that would require to drain the fluid from the gear case, As for the belt it really should not make that much noise unless the belt was damaged or defective, It is not that hard to check on the 2005 model and should be the same on the 2008 model, It is still new and things are still are working in, There will be some brake in metal in the fluids and i did my first break in fluid changes at 50 hours to get all the junk out of the systems, If you are really concerned about the problems you may want to take it back to the dealer for a check up.
I called the dealer today and they set me up for tomorrow. I hope they can fix this. I will post what happens.
Timmy.

Hello. I am a newbe to this forum and also to the polaris brand. Everything I own is honda/kawasaki/ktm.
I started to look for my next toy (side x side) and everything leaned to the 2008 ranger 700xp le.
Just about Everything is good. But I have a woring sound or a wining sound. I was told it was from the belt design? I have around 40hrs on it and this thin drives me crazy from 20 to35mph. is worst but it does it all the time. :evil: I am use to quality products and I cant belive anyone would
design something like this and let it go to production. I hope I havent made a $11,000 mistake.
I went back to the dealer and he told me that is the way they are. Can anyone chime in and help me with this.
I am ready to use it for a trade-in on some other brand. I dont know anyone that can let me ride on theres to see what
brand is best. Please help. Thanks, Timmy.
