I am new to this forum. I too am a trooper owner and have one of the first ones off the line. I have spend more time working on my buggy then driving it. I have done many changes too, most are the same problems as the rest of the trooper owners. One of my main complains is that the dealer I purchased my trooper at does not give me any support. I'll ask about a problem and he more or less tells me that no one else is having the problems, but when I go to Joyner they give me the part for free to repair my trooper. My trooper only has 2300 miles on it and I have street tires on it. All my miles are on the pavement or on a good logging road. I do not drive my trooper as if I stole it. Mostly on logging roads in BC Canada. I use my trooper for hunting and site seeing. I am sure I am not the only one having heating problems while driving at a rpm over 3500 rpm. I am putting a oil cooler on it as I speak. I am now getting a lot of slack in the rear end. My front drive shaft york is very loose on the spline. I will be going to Joyner next week to see what they will do for me. They have given me replacement parts such as a rear drive shaft, all new braking system, clutch linkage , rear fenders. So far Joyner has treated me pretty decent. We will see what happens. I,ll let you know. snowbird

I am also new, My trooper only had about thirty miles on it before it over heated. Since buying my trooper a month ago I've had problems from the time it got off loaded from the truck. With shifting gears. It appears the colder it is outside the harder it is to shift sometime not even able to shift into first or second. First time plowing my driveway it over heated. Second time plowing driveway, bracket where plow is screwed into bolt holes gave away causing plow to smash into steering rods snapping one. Joyner is sending parts to fix steering. I live in NH and we do not have a dealer or authorized repair shop. The only supposed repair shop told me he doesn't do work for Joyner. Dealer from GA where I bought it from told me to take it to local repair shop and they will take care of it. Let's see how that goes.

Welcome, that is an ugly picture, would think that would break like that. There are some things that have been done to the radiators on this forum, you may want to do a search for them.

Again, Welcome, got some good people here that are all willing to try to help.

Here's what I did, http://www.utvboard.com/index.php?s=&s...post&p=3848 the fan shroud extend in so air passes thru the radiator only where the fan is, pull in out a little so it can pull air across all the radiator.

Welcome to the forum.

You could try a lighter oil in the transmission for the cold weather or better yet change it to a good full synthetic oil. The pour point for a good 80/90 gear lube is a fair bit lower then your normal gear lube. Amsoil 75/90 synthetic gear lube pour point is -50 degrees. The information on the web site states that it helps for cold weather shifting.

For the over heating you should make sure your cooling system is full. There is a small hose coming off the end of the block by the thermostat (closest to the front of the buggy). Follow the hose to where it goes into the tee. Take the hose off at the tee and lift it higher then the motor and fill the rad. You will need two persons to do this as anti freeze will leak unless some one holds their finger over the port where you removed the hose. I would install a new hose clamp as the ones they use are not the best. The trooper seems to have a air lock problem unless you fill the system in this manner. The other thing to do is to add a water wetter to your rad. Walmart has one for around $6.00. Royal purple also makes one. This will help a bit for the over heating problems. Snowbird

Welcome scimaro. I agree about changing the trans oil. I run Royal Purple in Trans & both Diffs. Cost more but worth it! I also run Mobil 1 in the engine.

Thanks for the help and pics, I noticed on other posts that some people were having problems with fan blowing in the wrong direction. So I decided to check mine. It appears that my trooper is blowing away from the radiator. Is this right? Shouldn't be blowing air towards it?

The fan should pull the air through the rad, heading from front to rear. This is the natural way the air flows while driving, other wise the fan would be fighting against the natural air flow. Snowbird

Agree, from the front of the rad to the rear.

I still have not received the parts from Joyner to fix my steering rod. I call there and no one answers. I've been dealing with Mcoys where I bought the plow and enclosure from. Supposedly the person the dealer was dealing with quit and no one took over what he was working on.

You are not going to get any help from Joyner, they are gone / out of business for now. You will have to get your part from another dealer's stock or make the part yourself. There are a couple dealers on this site. Hopefully they will step up and contact you.

Joyner got an extension they will close end of this week, I am in constant contact with them few times a day, I had a pallet show up today with a ton of parts I ordered and even some I didn't *shrug* but as of 4 hours ago I got them sending a transmission my way as well as every last cable in the warehouse

I am lucky enough to have a spare set of cables, the electric 4 wd engaging unit., master cyl, rotors and more. I added to my parts supply over the last couple of years. Unfortunately, nothing big like diffs, trans or engine.

Would it be worth while to start a topic with spares that people have?

I did that, it's in the pinned area, "Extra Parts and Pieces" I you have something, post it and I'll move it to the #1 post and list you name behind it, then people can contact you about it. I'm thinking that would be better than 50 different posts to read through to see whats out there.

Comments or ideas welcome, we could even have a photo album to put pictures in on webshots. Just another late night can't sleep idea.

I think it's good to all work together to keep the Trooper alive. If it stays alive, it's chance of being picked up by someone is much greater. We don't need people saying "this piece of junk, can't even get parts for it". That kind of talk could kill the line quickly. If we share the parts we have, things will be better for all including ourselves.

I had to cancel my order for an enclosure two days ago. I was really hoping that I would have received it before they closed their doors. Also still waiting for rods to fix my steering that broke. Dealer ensured me that they would get parts needed. I hope to be on here someday talking about how great it is driving my trooper. Ice has already melted on my lake. So I guess there's always next year.

      I own a K9 with 50hrs that has been in for repair more than once the farm.  Multitude of issues, trying to file lemon on it but interested in knowing if owners are organizing for a class action suit.  The dealer informs me there are “a lot of owners very unhappy with these”.
      Thanks

      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      When I am driving at 30 to 40 mph on the highway, the display will change from H (high) to R (reverse).  It does not actually shift into reverse, it seems to shift into neutral and starts losing speed and the gas pedal has no effect.  After the rpm/speed drops for 5 seconds or so, it changes back to H and runs fine for another minute or so.  You have to try to drive it at less than 5000 rpm or so, to try and keep this from happening.  Any ideas on what the problem might be?  It only happens at the higher speeds.
