No, there were problems with the early TC88 but most of the bugs should have been worked out by 2001. Good Luck!

Anytime Harley comes out with a new engine, there are always a few tweaks along the way. HD replaced the Evolution engine with the TC88 in 2000. The 2001 Wide Glide should be a great ride.

TC88 cam out in 1999 for all but the Softail line. Had cam plate issues for one. The Softail has a balanced engine and came out in 2000.

My '99 has the TC88A. The only problem I ever had was the Crank Position Sensor gave out. She's got 64,000 miles, hopefully I'll get a bunch more before rebuilding.
