is your tunnel hole still open??? close it if it is...also get radiator fan installed if it doesnt have one....no more overheating... hope this helps

could it be a track howl your hearing and for the overheating you probably have sno build up in your tunnel, happens in the right conditions imo

Change your coolant maybe that will do the trick.Some guys said it was mixed wrong at factory.Have you heard or seen fan running?I can hear my intake which is stock.It makes a cool howling sound when wide open throttle especially.

i have seen the fan run at idle it is very quite. and i think the overheating is because of iceing up in the front of the tunnle. the snow here is very soft and drifted. i still might change the coolent to.

you will find that the 1.5 freeride track will cool the heat exchanger more and throw in engine ice and get rid of the coolant.
