Overheating woes!

Did everybody get thier over-heating issues taken care of?

Small suggest for those of you still having cooling issues: Get some Redline Water Wetter here is a link: http://www.redlineoil.com/products_coolant.asp I have used thier products for years and I LOVE ALL OF THEM!!!!

Just a suggestion............

Nothing worse than having to sit and watch everyone play while your ride is trying to cool off!

Also, I bought an old fire extinguisher and loaded it up with 3 gallons of water and added about.
45psi of air, it will clean a clogged radiator out QUICK!!!!

Good Luck!!!

great idea on the extinguisher!!!

been wondering what I was going to do with that one I had in college that used to be filled with vodka / gatorade and a few psi for pressure

Hey Mudxtc i got mine cleaned out :) And have been thinking about getting something? that will work for sure.Also Good :idea: ON The Extinguisher It was so Funny we have been thru some Bad Mud holes long steep hills and plus in the Heat of Summer but never had a problem with over heating But if it happens again i'm prepared And Heck didn't even realize you was on the Ride till you got in front of us as we were heading back to parking lot Sorry i didn't get to meet you but we'll meet up next Ride were on :)

RSR, I did wanna chat with you, but unfortunately, I had an appointment I had to keep Saturday evening............... You have a VERY nice Rhino!!!

I guess everybody got thier overheating problems taken care of...............

Got me some water wetter and temp guage to install. Maybe I will have my overheating problem solved.

I would say that most overheating problems on the trail are due to not getting the radiator cleaned out from the previous ride

and 5-10 mph doesnt help much either.no air flow!!!

from what i saw mud was not the issue on some like the 450 i think it was air flow all of you that overheated and running regular oil need to change your oil because it overheadted too.

Going to swith to Amsoil synthetic oil at next oil change.That should help keep it running a little cooler.

have u installed temp gauge yet???? i have one ,i love it ,light even works on it

Overheating sucks!!! I use a clean garden sprayer to help clean out my radiator on the trail. One other idea..a friend of mine used a small pump that can be submerged in a creek and put a tip on some tubing. It works in a pinch.

THANKS!!! I have a really nice liquid filled gauge I bought as a redundant unit for my pro-touring truck, guess I will put it to use on the Rhino since my truck is going to be down for a while! (getting a MASSIVE horsepower increase )

After over heating last summer, I started carry'n a 1 gallon garden sprayer that you can pump up. I have yet to have to use it on my Rhino but have used it many times on other peoples. I think that after you over heat 1 time you learn to really clean your radiator out good. My radiator is the first and last thing to get sprayed after a ride. I just keep the water hose directed in the fins going back and forth till the water coming out is clean and repeat again and again. I think I use more water on the radiator than the rest of the Rhino.
