Coolant Tank Failure

Quote from KayTwo

My upper connection just broke today exactly as some of you have described. I'm exploring the warranty option but I'm really don't want to go without the Slung for however long it takes them to replace it. Thinking about repair options.

@Toobad4u, @jaycanter, I don't suppose you have any pictures of the final product to share?

Maybe someone who's installed the DDM tank will send you their stock tank? Check that thread and reach out! Great group of guys and gals here... Even heard about possible wife swapping!

@KayTwo i just drilled and tapped ran several months like the pic

I ordered a tank and took 1-1/2 months same day it came in the ddm shipped. I have the stock fixed, and a brand new polaris if you can't get 1 soon

LMAO. I thought I remember to that thread, but I couldn't find it a second ago when I searched. But I'm on my phone and pushing the kids on the swing, so later tonight I will check it on the computer. Thanks for the confirmation.

Looks nice. Where did you get the metal fitting, plumbing store? 3/8"?

Thanks, I appreciate the offer. I'm going to be stubborn for a hot minute and hold them to their warranty, but if that doesn't work out, I may come back. I just wish they had a better product. My intention would be to do the temporary fix so I can drive it, and then make them put the brand new tank on, and then probably proactively put the fix on the brand new tank just to mitigate the chance of it breaking again in the future.

A couple of the members have installed the DDM tank. Maybe someone can give one up till you get yours fixed. Any takers?

If you guys will just be a little patient a little birdie told me Cycle Springs is coming out with a aluminum tank WITH a site glass. Imma gonna wait for that one! I will then have a brand new plastic one (just got it under warranty) I will be glad to send to any forum member that is in need.

My sling is put away for the winter. I'll send you mine to use if it helps. If I send it next day, you should have it Monday

My dealer did the over night shipping and said I would have to pay for. But they never asked for any money. Now I have the DDM collant tank.

Sir,
You rock, a true one of a kind offer.

That is truly mighty nice of you. Tell you what...I want to see if I can rig the temp repair, and if it pisses me off or I don't trust it, I'll take you up on the offer and pay for the overnight shipping, and return it when the shop puts the replacement on. Thank you greatly for the offer!

That right there is why I am so happy I bought the Sling....... not for the breaking parts but for all the help that is out there.

Agree, it's like the modern day Harley! That's funny right there, I don't care who you are
