You still have air in the system.... Is the sled tilted up on the PTO side... The ski bottom at least 12" off the floor

Ok. So I got the air out. It was sitting about 12” high. All of sudden it just started to clear out the air and filled up the Canister. Seems good now. Thanks for the help.

Manual calls for coolant to be up to bottom of threads in that turbo coolant tank.

Ok. Good to know. Last time I filled my sled with coolant I wasn’t aware of this bleeder screw. So I’m guessing I never got all the air out of the system. Wondering if that was the root cause of my impeller failure.Manual calls for coolant to be up to bottom of threads in that turbo coolant tank.

Very likely. From what I've read, cavitation is really tough on that impeller.Ok. Good to know. Last time I filled my sled with coolant I wasn’t aware of this bleeder screw. So I’m guessing I never got all the air out of the system. Wondering if that was the root cause of my impeller failure.

So. Got everything together and started my sled up to let it warm up and check for leaks. First thing I notice is that sleds warms up to around 70-75C and basically stays there. This has never happened with this machine ever. Temperatures would always continue to climb until the sled shut off. Makes me think that this machine has always had air in the system. Which could explain some of the impeller failures. Maybe machines are possibly coming from dealers like this? I didn’t know about the bleed screw previously so likely never effectively had the air bleed.
