I have a alpine kit with a pur logic box I just bought a new box and got two rides out of it before it went bad. I dont want to buy another box that is just going to go bad again. I was looking at the Boondocker box but I am not sure how well they work and hold up. Any one have any suggestions?

Hello Flat lander, what exactly is your box doing, I run the same set up and ran into some problems with mine also, I can probably help you out if you tell me what it is doing, I have spent some time on the phone with Pure logic themselves and they schooled me on this box, they very seldom are actually screwed to the point of where you have to replace it, What lights are on when the sled is sitting at idle?
At 1/4 throttle no problem but when i hit the throttle and get on the boost the sled pulls hard and then falls on its face. Doesnt die but the box resets itself you can see the lights run across the face and back. Aero charger is claiming that when you put one of these boxes on you had better pack an extra for they do not do well with moisture. My old box i put liquid tape on it at all of the wiring entrances on the box and was able to get a season out of it but this new box i did not do that and it lasted 2 rides. I am told that it burns out the boost sensor in the box.
Ill have a brand new one used 2 rides for you in couple days.
O.K, the boost sensor in the box is actually a litle tiny diaphragm, if it is damaged it is usually due to the box being exposed to vacuum witch will actually rip the diaphragm, where is your box located on the sled? it should not be under the hood due to the constant temperature fluctuation witch will cause moisture to form in the box, mine is located on the handlebar riser, just Velcrod to the side, some guys actually put it inside a zip lock bag to keep it out of the elements. Make sure that the boost sens line is not pinched or kinked in any way. Where does the boost sens line from the box ty into the sled, it has to be in a spot where it does not see any vacuum at all, some of the older kits where tied into the vacuum-T set up on the throttle bodies, this wont work at all due to the constant vacuum the box is exposed to at idle, on my sled it ties into the inter-cooler on the top left hand side if you were sitting on the sled, I have also heard of guys who will bump the throttle during the sleds warm up cycle, this can also cause problems, have you checked your ground connection ? if you unplug the boost sens line and start the sled it will re-set the box, shut the sled off, plug the line back in and try it, you can also unplug the box completely and plug the sled back in stock and start it, run for a minute or so and plug your box back in. On my box the edges are sealed with black silicone, Alpine themselves did that to keep the moisture out. How old is your sled and what turbo are you running ? Was the first box you had the exact same problem or a different one ? The way you explained that the box re-sets itself almost makes me think you have a bad connection somewhere, or moisture got in the box itself.
Let me know what you come up with.

The box is located next to the Key and is velcroed in place it ties in to the innercooler on the Rt side. I have had to disconnect the box and ride the sled stock with no turbo to get me out of the hills. I know that the box is very sensitive to moisture and this is what i believe that has happened. Because the box does not handle snowmobiling conditions very well I was looking for a Different box that may be out there that is working better and that is more durable.
well you probably got some moisture in the box then, Dean or Todd at Alpine in salmon arm can check the box with their computer, and if need be they can also force program it, but as far as the other boxes go a buddy of mine runs the RB-3 box on his nitro, I am not impressed with it jet, it runs but every now and then there are some hik ups with it too, it has a major miss on the bottom end that bottom end, none of the updated maps have been able to fix it jet. They also have some problems with moisture getting into the connector on the RB-3. I would talk to Todd at alpine about it, several of my buddy's run them and there has been the odd problem but nothing like what your experiencing, sorry I wasn't much help.

Take the box off and get it dry even if your not sure if its wet and then silicone the edges.Make sure you have a good ground and dialectric grease the plug.When you start the sled you should have a solid green light if not you need a reflash. When you set the box, wait until the box goes back to just a green light from what ever mode your in before you take off so it sets itself. I guess ive been lucky i have a spare box and never needed it.
