Hi all.  I just found this forum and am so happy to find a source of information about the CC side by sides as the information on the web can be limited.  Our 2018 has squeaks while moving slowly.  Seems to come mainly from the front wheel area, but it intermittent and is very annoying.  Any thoughts or experience someone can share?

Also, like everyone else with the roof, doors, front and rear windows and occasional the top half of the doors, it can get pretty loud inside while riding.  I read someone mentioned using a yoga mat under the seat (gonna do that this weekend).  Other modifications being done to reduce noise levels in the cab?  Thought about sound deadening material (seen that mentioned here as well and know that friend's Mule has insulation under seat and on the outside of the front panel of the seat.

Thanks!

I have the same squeak.  My guess is the brakes.  I might check it out this week.
The cab noise is pretty loud.  Since I'm no longer under warranty I think I'm going to reroute the clutch vent, which vents below the drivers seat, to the back of the vehicle.  I think a lot of the noise comes from that

Richard - would be interested in what you find on the brakes.  Could you please post once you have checked them out.   Thanks for the feedback on the cab noise as well.  I assume the whole purpose of the clutch vent it to remove heat from that area and nothing else.  Would like to see how you do this.  Another user here VERNO shared that he did the same thing and it reduced the cab noise somewhat.  Also installing a yoga mat underneath the seat.  I also thought of sound deadening material on the outside of the compartment that sits below the seat as this is very open and I have seen other SxS that have noise deadening material here such as the Kawasaki Mule.

Thanks!

Happy to report we put a yoga mat in between the seat and the top of the engine compartment just like recommended here and what a difference that made.  I could not believe it!  Thinking sound deadening material on the inside of the engine compartment (outside of the wall that is under the seat at your feet inside the cab) and heavy floor mats might help as well.  Thanks to Richard and VERNO!

@Richard Hughes - any update on the brake squeaking?  Was riding with a friend that has a Mule and his was doing it also.  He said - it comes and goes, sometimes it does it and some times it doesn't but more often than not just after cleaning.

@Terry Hering which muffler did you purchase?  If you have not tried the yoga mat underneath the seat, well worth it.  What other things have you found out?  BTW - welcome to the board!I'm still under warranty so they put Muffler number 759 - 0 5 5 8 3 on it. Price is $962.95. Not Counting all the other parts that they needed for the muffler. The template is $15.95, ignition cable which was $49.95. Then I asked him do a once-over the make sure everything's okay before the warranty goes out. And I like a oil change, now that I got it back it sounds like the wet clutch is going. And I did not try to yoga mats yet but I pick some up today. It's not that much quieter with a new muffler on.

@Terry Hering OUCH!  That sounds very expensive.  We were thinking of something aftermarket that might quite things down a bit.  We have also been looking into DYNAMAT or something similar to add in certain areas where the noise seems to be resonating from.  Also heavy floor mats should dampen the noise even more.  I have also been looking at the clutch venting notes from VERNO above.  Thinking this might help as well.  I truly appreciate the insight about your ordeal.  I know there are a few of us out there that are working these items that Cub Cadet did not do well on and sharing will help us all be more satisfied with our purchase.

      2018 Coleman UT400 Trans keeps popping out of forward
      By dman66
      My buddy has a ut400 that the forward gear keeps popping out of gear. She only has like 400 miles on the odometer .the shift cable has been adjusted and the shift lever has been updated / modified. All other gears are good. Is there an internal detent cam or something that wears out or shift fork that can be replaced ? Or is there some other magic that I can perform ? Looks like the engine needs to be split.

      sector e1 regen has stopped (mostly) working
      By mark walkom
      the regen braking on my e1 has stopped working unless (for eg) I am going down a hill in low and it's slowing things down to stick to the 10kph limit. when I drive and take my foot off the accelerator it's not initiating the regen to slow things down and instead just coasts at whatever speed it is at, or speeds up as the regen is not limiting it. the brake lights work, so it's probably not a fault with the sensor on the brake pedal
       
      hoping someone else might be able to provide some suggestions on things to check, as the mob that I bought it off seem to have gone silent on me

      2018 Cub Cadet Challenger 750 shifting problems
      By Gary T
      I generally use my challenger for light duty misc. use, and for plowing. The one thing I dislike about this machine is the difficulty in shifting. I've had it the shop and they adjusted the shifting lever, but I still have issues. Some times it shifts ok, but the problem is it is hard to get it to move the lever from high to reverse or low to high or from any gear to the other. Seems I always have to accelerate a little to get it to engage to what gear I need it to go to. This is definitely not normal.
