150 miles so far and I love it. Installed the TD EcoTrail/SuperQuiet/Weights before it hit the trail and am very happy. Hope to put another 150-200 on it next week (weather permitting) and then change fluids and adjust chain.

I have an LTX LE with zero issues....but my odometer reads 0.0! My vin in in the high 400's....so I'm hoping the sled rolled down the line mid week, and it's not a Monday/Friday sled! I've checked everything I could reasonably get to, and found no issues.
I was extremely pissed at the so called "easy off/on hood"..... Until I realized you leave the side pieces ON when removing the hood assembly! Of course, this was AFTER I unscrewed everything while the hood was on the sled! I'm use to the typical jigsaw puzzle of pieces.....it never occurred to me they'd make it so easy!
Thanks to everyone's help...the resonator hexes were removed and anti seize put on before they locked up. The front two turbo bolts were very tight....I'm guessing #3 is as well. The AC memo notes that only certain vins are effected, so maybe it was caught. I did scribe the bolt and turbo, so I could check if the bolt loosens.
And the heat shield has 2 cracks, but both were sealed at the factory with either a solider or liquid sealer.
I'd like to think being a lower US/Midwest LTX buyer, and therefore a late delivery, may be a good thing! Picture a bunch of AC dudes putting kids bikes together on Xmas eve and trying to figure out how the pieces go together! Maybe by the 400's....they got it down!
Overall....I think everyone will be pleased with these things! I'm impressed so far, and can see getting a 50th Anv. for the wife.

I traded my mpi viper in on one. It's not faster top end. But the pull is so min smoother. The engine had much smoother operation. But overall performance not a lot different

Went up to the North Shore Saturday after studding my 129 Rtx Le with a 4/2 pattern down the middle with 1.45s 6 inch carbides on the inside. Everything else is stock. 62 miles before I went. Recap on Lake with low snow in short distance was able to pull 109 mph. More to go. On groomed trails with loose sugar/ powder long wide smooth trails I was able to pin throttle wide open and hold it and topped out at 104 mph. I now have 275 miles on my sled. Traveled home today checked Secondary' to find one roller able to spin. Everything else looked good. Went out for another lake run with studs this time. I was able to pull 113 mph in short order. I have a lot more speed to go. Overall with the few studs I have it really pull hard. Very happy with stock sled so far no issues. Will take secondary apart for quick look later
