Hello all,
I am new to this forum. I purchased a Summit 1000 SDI last year, without doing much research when my 01' Summit 800 quit on a snowmobiling trip. When I google it now for info, it seems that these engines maybe ticking time bombs. Though I know most people will not post things if everything is working ok. I have 3600 miles on it, and am currently having the engine completely rebuilt. Locked up in -10 weather just crusing in mid range. I am not afraid to add items to protect my new motor, (EGT's, fuel pressure gauges, air filters) if someone knows what should be done to protect it & make it somewhat reliable. Just want to hear from others so see if anyone has had decent luck with these engines or if it is a time bomb i should sell before it goes again. I do not know of anyone else who owns one. If there is no way to make it somewhat reliable i will probably sell it. Thanks - Dallas
