2007 Phazer
We've been riding the Phazer pretty hard this season and when out on the lake, we'll get the overheat light. When we back off, it would go off. This happened a handful of times and then finally the light didn't go off, then POP and a lot of the fluid drained out.
Thermostat is on backorder, however I have replaced the cap and pulled the radiator out and run water through it. Added a bunch of fluid and bled until fluid comes out of the bleed port. The radiator is hot to the touch (can only put my fingers on the top of the radiator for a few moments - the antifreeze lines in and out are pretty warm as well. Video below.
It seems like the fluid is circulating (added fluid, it went down, did it again basically until it bled in).
Can anyone give me an idea of what I should be looking at? I'm new to the cooling repair. If the thermostat was stuck, I don't really understand why the radiator would be steaming.
Thanks!
