I've got a 2020 Defender Max HD10 on a 6" SuperATV lift, 4" GDP portals running 38" Quadboss QBT680s. on 20"s. Despite all the mud mods 90% of the time I ride dirt roads. I bought it from a friend so I know it hasn't been abused. It was completely stock when I bought it and I did all the mods the first week I owned it so I don't know if it did this before or the mods caused it. Since March I've been through 6 drive belts. They look like rats nest when I replace them. Just put a new factory belt on last week and now its gone into limp mode several times. It says Check Engine but its not overheating and I've changed the oil every couple of weeks since I bought it. Could the belt issue cause the limp mode? Everyone I ride with has a different opinion. I've heard I need performance clutches to turn the tires, I need more gear reduction in my portals, just get a clutch kit. I'm more concerned with the limp mode since this last belt change. Its shredded belts several times before but never got limp mode till this one, but its been every day since
Edit: I did just install four 8" speakers in the roof, two 12" subs in the bed and two Skar Audio marine amps with a DS18 INH-90 battery. Could an electrical issue from the install cause limp mode? The pic of the gauge cluster was tonight, riding dirt roads maybe 25-30mph
