| Me and the family was out taking a ride in the rhino and the water light came on I pulled over rite then to let it cool down while we was waiting I checked the the radiator and it was cool to the touch. We got home after it cooled and I jacked it up and pulled the bleader screw and added about a cup of antifreeze and it started coming out the hole. Any ideas what might be wrong I was thanking maybe thermostat stuck but open to your guys thoughts don't want to get it wrong and mess something up bad. | |

| No more then it is making me. I went out and restarted it and let it run for about 15 min and it never over heated but there has to be something going on for it to get hot. It happen once before about 2 months ago and it was just air in the line if that is it again I just don't know why it would keep getting air in the line. | |

| We all need a temp guage with a sending unit close to the engine where the thermostat is. I remember when James' water pump broke, his temp was low on the guage, radiator was cool, heater blew cool, and the engine got so hot the thermostat collapsed. Scary stuff. | |

| Thanks for your help guys I bleed it from the bottom also and it came out with tons of pressure and started it with the the radiator cap off and watched the coolant moving so I guess the water pump is ok and it never over heated so maybe ok what do you guys thank ? | |
