What did you do to your TRX today?

[FULLTHROTTLERICK]

My son and I finally got around installing the ngk 2309 spark plugs purchased from @Nick797 . The passenger side is easy while the driver side is what you’ll waste the most time on. Luckily my son was able to crawl under and take care of the driver side.

In the process I discovered I have a valve gasket leak on the passenger side.

About 4 or 5 spark plugs were wet with oil on the threads. I’ll be taking the truck in for warranty work.

On a positive note the truck does idle much smoother.

the leak isn’t in the photo per say but by looking at the spark plugs threads you can tell it’s a possible sign of a valve gasket leak.

I tried to take a pic but can’t see much in there without using a endoscope cam.

Took my TRX on my first ever off roading to a remote campsite near Moab. It was nerve racking but it went off without a hitch!

I have a bad feeling about the plugs and am in no rush. I've got so much mud, crud & debris in every crevice of that engine bay it's a disaster waiting to happen. Pull plug & a giant mud missile fires in

Love these things. Put one of them on my beast yesterday.

Went up to Berlin NH to Jericho State Park with the ATV's. Misses and I had a blast, so much so that on the way home we stopped at a Cam-An dealer and traded in our 6 year old Polaris's for 2 new Outlander 850XT's.
Did an Airbnb. Will do it again next year.

Installed the JMB Performance air intake. I’m not really concerned about gaining vs. losing a few horsepower. This truck is my daily driver. I did it for the aesthetics and the increase in sound from the supercharger.

After having the engine checked. Turns out I don’t have a valve cover leak. Simply needed new spark plugs. After driving a few hundred miles the new spark plug threads came out dry. Compared to before. There wasn’t any oil build up in the spark plug well or signs of oil.

Guessing it’s best to change the original by 30k miles or before 3-4years.


I decided to inspect the first two pistons on the passenger side and noticed a good amount of carbon build up on 1st and not much on the second.

Is there any way to get it a bit cleaned up or would high rpms under load burn it off?

Seen a rho on the road for the first time today, was stuck behind it getting on the freeway. Didn't hear what it sounded like over the sound of the supercharger screaming when we both took off on the freeway, but he damn sure heard what these badass trucks should sound like as I passed him up

U running a catch can? When i had bad carbon build-up on my Raydo around 25k, I spent like 10-12 hours spraying with carb cleaner and scrubbing it off (horribly miserable day lolol). I immediately added a catch can and it def helped when i rechecked 30k later.

As far as the plugs go, usually a healthy amount of WOTs will help clean em up a bit! Stop lugging around town in Snow mode my man!

Like Rick said…catch can. Also, Red Line SI-1 in the tank and ideally Top Tier gas all the time. Shell 93 if you can get it.

U like shell over BP & Mobil?

I like the friction modifier and detergent package in Shell. Think Mobil is using something similar and would probably work just as well. BP isn’t Top Tier anymore.
