Hi all , a little histery first.
Bought my Ram 500 from BVM at Toledo 2001.
Sat on the shelf till I bought the bobcat in the fall of 2001.
Built the bobcat over the winter.
Started the 500 in the fall ,2 runs on the bench, ran great.
Two more runs at the flying feild on the bench to show off.
Installed the 500 in the bobcat and 4 hours later discovered the batteries supplied by ram are to small , so I installed 1200 SCR car batteries and all was fine, it started right up.
Took the bobcat to the feild to range check and start up only to find out the starter craped out.
With less than a hour run time on the engine Ram tells me it"s going to cost me $500 to upgrade to a
New starter
New ECU
New battery
I thought turbines where more dependable than ducted fans
Thanks Rcpete
