I successfully installed my new offset key. I now think I have two problems: #1 - my cooling fan does not come on at all and Im get the high temp warning on the dash. #2 - It doesn't appear as if the cooling system is sucking any antifreeze out of the resevoir. I don't have any leaks anywhere. Nothing is dripping out of any tubes underneath. Everything went back together pretty smooth, I don't believe I overtorqued the impeller. If I left any thing out, it's by accident, I'm at my wits end. BTW - my test drive went well, power is very smooth all the way up to when my front tires were perpendicular to the ground.

Thanks in advance, Mike K

 

I bet you have air in the system, you need to bleed it out. Take the cap off and run it for 10 seconds or so and see if any bubbles come to the surface, you should probably do this with it at room temperature or just slightly warm, wouldn't want you to get burned with hot water. Thats what I would try first, before digging any further.

 

I'm waiting for the 06 brute to see if they come out with a radiator cap. JK. I thought about air in the system, I got to get some coolant in there, I'm going to disconnect the top hose and force feed it, maybe I can at least get it circulating. I still have that fan problem and I checked the breaker. Thanks for the response

 

Ok, I feel stupid, I found the radiator cap, take us back to defcon 1
