2022 Axis 700 overheating. We bled system several times, no luck yet. Weird thing is Radiator isn't getting hot and air coming into overflow jug. Doesnt seem like its moving water. Fan working fine, even wired it to turn on by switch. Only has 100 miles or so, just baffled. I am going to try bleeding more and see what happens. I did the head gasket test for fumes in the antifreeze, that was neg so far... Thanks

When filling the radiator to bleed the system make sure that the front of the vehicle is jacked up higher that the engine to get the air out.  Sounds like you still have a air bubble.

I got a bunch of air out when we bled it, then had some coolant come out of vent house I think. Going to bleed it again and see what happens.

Hi, I'm new here. I just purchased a 2017 Textron Stampede Off Road Bad Boy. I'm having over temperature issues. So far I have checked the thermostat, it was not there, guess the last owner had same issue but forgot to mention it. I also tore down the oil cooler bracket to get to the water pump. I had purchased a replace kit for it but there is nothing wrong with it. I removed the plug wires and turned the engine over, no water was coming out of the open thermostat housing. The water pump turns firmly with the engine, there is no slop. I put it all back together and thankfully there are no leaks. Next I filled the system and tried bleeding air based on the factory video. I did get quite a bit of air, maybe not all? I topped it off and fired it up. Heated it up and even though the fan came on at 3 bars, it continued climbing until the 5 bars all lit up and LCD started flashing. So I either have air still in the system or I'm missing something? Do these run normally at 5 bars on temp indicator? Is my temperature sensor maybe bad?  Mine runs really good and I do not want to ruin it. Has 2200 miles on it. Suggestions?

I keep getting air out of it. I will keep bleeding until I am sure it has no more air and then see what happens. I am hoping it not a head gasket.

Cootupnorth,

Need to start your on thread. Don't highjack somebody else's.

With that said. I'd get a infrared thermal readers and see what it reads. Could just be a bad sensor. I put a digital temp gauge on Axis 500. They make a sleeve of a thing that can go online with the radiator hose. It has an opening to insert a sending unit. Can then install a digital or manual temp gauge and not have to rely on trying to determine what a bar graph might be trying to tell you. And you can leave the OEM sender in place for the computer to do its thing. And if needed replace the OEM sender with a new one if it's bad.

 

Brent4a,

Just keep bleeding with the radiator/front end jacked up as best ya can. Hope you don't have to replace head gasket again either. Good luck.

Right, but figured it wasn't completely airlocked. Thought there may have been some coolant circulation. I know on the Axis 500 (different I know) there is a sending unit in the radiator. That the only one I know of. And coot said the radiator fan kicked on. So there should have been some circulation. But maybe not.

      2022 Hisun Sector 550 eps. Power steering not working
      By A P
      Hi
      I have a 2022 hisun sector eps 550. 30amp fuse is blown for eps. Checked the motor and it’s fine. Opened up the controller and found a bad diode. Dealer wanted 500$ for the controller. Just posting this in case it helps someone. I couldn’t read numbers from the old one so just took a guess and replaced it with a 100v 3amp diode.

      Coleman UT400 won't rev. Idles fine
      By Will Sutton
      I've got a 2023 UT400 (bought from tractor supply) and I've been beating my head against a wall with it.
      It will start and idle perfectly. The second I touch the throttle it sputters and dies.
      I've checked that the fuel pump is working  (it is).
      I've replaced the injector, throttle position sensor, O2 sensor, and intake air sensor. All with no change.
       
      I've just taken a look a the schematic, and there is a crank position sensor as well.

      Could this be the source of my troubles? If so, where is this thing located? I can't seem to find it on any drawings from the parts suppliers.

      Heater installed 2021 Axis 500
      By Greg Kilgore
      Last year bought a small universal coolant style cab heater. Well I installed it today. Thanks to another member, RangeRider45, and his install
       
      That told in his post the size fitting he used. I got the same fittings plus a few others. And all went kinda smooth. Took a few minutes to get air purged from coolant system. Should have parked on hill with front up in the air. But would have had a hard time working on it.
      I had a variable power switch connected to an overhead cab fan. Never really used the fan that much. And I have to remove the fan to put on my cab enclosure anyway. So I repurposed the switch to supply power for the heater. The heater has 2 12-volt DC computer fans that are rated for 1.8 amps each. So it's not going to be a big drain on the weak charging system. And with the switch I've got great control over the speed of the fans.
      If anyone is interested the radiator hoses are 7/8 inch. I reworked the temperature sending unit (moved it closer to radiator) to make room for all the extra plumbing I did to get the heater to work the way I wanted. 
      Plumbing parts list.
      10-15 worm water clamps. 3/4 to 1 1/4 inch size.
      2 1" x 3/4" x 1" PEX Tee
      1 3/4" PEX ball valve
      1 1" PEX ball valve
      5/8" heater hose. I got 6' and probably have 4' left over.
      I used the radiator house I cut out to use as splices between the PEX fittings. The PEX fittings are not true to their dimensions that are stated on the package. So they fit the 5/8" and 7/8" very nicely.
      They way I have it plumbed is from radiation out side. A tee, then the 1" ball valve, then a Tee. Coming off the Tees are the hoses going to the heater core. There is a 3/4" ball valve on one of the Tees. The ball valves are used to bypass the heater core in the summer. Or direct the hot coolant through the heater core in winter. The temperature sending unit tells me how hot the coolant is. And if anything is getting too hot. The dash also has an idiot light that comes on if the head gets too hot. But doesn't do anything if the radiator gets too hot. There is a temp sensor on the radiator that controls the electrical fan. But if the coolant isn't circulating. That switch never sends a signal to turn on the fan. But enough talking/rambling. Everyone wants to see pics. The only thing I need to change is the orientation of the handle on the 1" ball valve. I have 2" or more clearance between the handle and the tire when cut hard right. But I still don't like it. And instead of taking the valve out and rotating 180°. I'm just going to take the nut off and rotate the handle 180°. Think I need to make a locking mechanism to lock the handles in place so they don't vibrate closed when the machine is moving.
      The temperature sending unit and housing. Size 22 mm. Aluminum from Amazon.

      Upper Tee the lower Tee is identical. Can also see the handle of the 3/4" ball valve on the 5/8" hose going to the heater.

      The 1" ball valve. Goes between the 2 Tees

      Wide view of the plumbing.

      The heater installed in the sxs. The 3 black hoses are just hanging there. Zip ties to the heater but not attached to any thing. Will probably just direct 2 toward the wife's feet. And 1 toward mine. Or what ever is need as the heat is needed on rides. The black hose in passenger floorboard is some 1" hose that is not needed. Don't know what I'll do with it.

       
      I think if I was going to do it again. I'd put some Indian Head gasket dressing or silicone on the 1" side of the PEX fittings. And I may still do that. But I really hate the ideal of introducing air back in the coolant system.
       
      Any questions just ask. It may take a while to answer. But I'll try.
      Ya be good and stay warm over the next few months

      Help! Hub safety-hour meter switch problem
      By Texjpr
      2002 ranger 500 4x4 stopped running and wouldn't restart. Service manual wiring diagram helped identify the hub safety switch as the culprit. Using jumper wires to bypass  switch allowed the engine to start and run normally. Inspection of switch showed melted epoxy and a strong smell of burnt electrical. Unable to find replacement part either used or new. Is there a work around other than jumper wiring?
