[QUOTE="NDbowman, post: 314249, member: 1525"] I would say anything over 10k miles is getting up there and you can expect to start doing some fixing. Mainly bushings in A arms and suspension. Probably need shocks, brake pads, and wheel bearings could began to fail. All easy to replace but costs can add up. A company that sells reman engines for polaris rangers say that the life expectancy of an engine is 8 to 12k miles. I feel the engine can and will go alot longer than that with proper maintenance and not abusing it. I've seen two Rangers with blown motors under 5k miles that were run hard and not maintained. I've seen another that the motor was blown and had good maintentance and even the mechanic didn't know why it went. My Ranger 900 has nearly 25k miles on it, sadly I was hoping to get 30k on it but it started acting up and now won't start, Its at the polaris dealer now getting checked out. I feel its a compression issue but will see, if my motor is shot I'll put a reman in it and run it some more. Yes they are expensive to purchase, it feels like your getting robbed when you buy one for what your getting but they are very handy for farm/ranch work, hunting, trapping, and ice fishing.
