Overheating after radiator relocate

garymuder1 · Mar 19, 2018

First time on here...i have a 2017 maverick with about 25 hours on it.i installed a wild boar relocate kit and now having overheating problems.i bled the system per the manual and is still over heating,for some reason the passenger side of the radiator stays cold while the driverside is hot..i am thinking the system is not circulating.i am out of ideas and would apreciate any input or has anyone ran into this problem.

Welcome from Tucson AZ. Did you give Wild Boar a shout, to see what they think?

You probably have air in the system. If you relocated it to the back, elevate the rear of the machine and run it with the cap broke loose for at least 5 minutes. Then elevate the front and do the same. This should force the air pocket out thru the cap. Also look for any high spots in the water lines like going over a frame member etc. These high spots will trap air.

Cold on one side and hot on the other you say. Your system is air locked my friend.

Different methods to fix an air locked coolant system. Just search some up and try them. Youtube or google has many methods for this.
