WHAT IS A TRACK TUNER ™?
A TRACK TUNER™ REDUCES CHAIN WIND-UP BY UP TO 90%, FREEING HORSEPOWER AND EXTENDING CHAIN, BEARING AND SPROCKET WEAR. A 1" DIFFERENCE IN TIRE DIAMETER ON A 25" TIRE IS A DIFFERENCE OF 31 COMPLETE REVOLUTIONS IN A MILE. THIS IS THE SOURCE OF DAMAGING CHAIN WIND-UP. THAT LARGER TIRE IS TRYING TO MAKE 31 LESS REVOLUTIONS IN A MILE WHILE INSIDE A HIGH FRICTION ENVIRONMENT SUCH AS RUBBER TRACKS.
TRACK TUNERS ELIMINATE THIS BY ALLOWING THE CENTER AXLES TO FREE-WHEEL AND NOT TRANSFER THIS DELTA INTO THE CHAIN SUB-SYSTEM.
THE TRACK TUNER™ IS PLACED ON THE TWO MID AXLES (OR SINGLE MID ON A 6X6) ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. A 6X6 REQUIRES 2 TUNERS AND A 8X8 REQUIRES 4 TUNERS TO WORK PROPERLY. TRACK TUNERS™ ARE SOLD EACH SO ORDER ACCORDINGLY.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED TRACK TUNERS™?
IF YOUR ARGO IS CHEWING THROUGH CHAIN SLIDER BLOCKS OR HAVE MID TIRES THAT MEASURE GREATER THAN A 1" DIFFERENCE IN CIRCUMFERENCE WITH 5LBS OF AIR PRESSURE THAN THE FRONT OR REAR TIRES YOU'RE A CANIDATE FOR THE TRACK TUNERS™. FOLLOWING PROPER MEASURING IS KEY AND STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS CAN BE DOWNLOADED BY CLICKING HERE.
PLEASE NOTE THAT BY ADDING THIS PRODUCT YOUR MID TIRES NO LONGER TRANSMIT POWER FROM THE AXLES TO THE GROUND EFFECTIVELY MAKING THE VEHICLE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. ALWAYS REMOVE THE PRODUCT IF TRACKS ARE NOT INSTALLED. PROPER TRACK TENSION IS KEY SINCE ONLY THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES OFFER POWER TO THE GROUND.
