Rhino's are known to run hot as it is. What was the temp out there? I recommend draining the radiator and refilling it with engine ice if your planning on running it in warmer temps. That should help a little.

it was hot. probably 100 or so. just weird to be the only guy in the group with aftermarket fan and radiator plus shroud, and be the only guy overheating

possibly have air in the system, did you bleed it at all after installing aftermarket rad??
did you reuse original rad cap or buy the upgraded one??

it could be your pump going out

yes i did bleed the system and fill with supercool instead of regular antifreeze after first overheat. was thinking a possible pump starting to go, what is the normal replacement interval ? ive seen a lot of talk about larger oil coolers and fans for the oil cooler also? i installed a cap from a buddy... locking type i was also planning on pressure testing the cap. the cap i was given is 16psi what is stock cap rated.

Start a check list. Check one thing and mark it off. I had the same problem and like rezmotorsports said it could be your pump. That's what mine was.

here is how I would go about it
take cap off and jack front of rhino up a little, fill radiator to top while having bleeder open, close bleeder when water comes out.
start rhino and watch water and temp, when it gets warm, see if t-stat opens and water starts moving, if you don't see any movemnet, your t-stat or pump is bad, if water starts moving, may just be a bad cap. Stock I believe is 11 p.s.i

I have not seen a t-stat on a stock rhino motor out west yet. they are usually open for a 660
not sure on the 700 though.
I have seen the water pump lose one of the tangs that engages it and it will not flow properly.
you can drain oil and pull pump off to inspect.
like mentioned, air in the system is usually the culprit.

to check the pump just feel each side of the radiator, they should warm up at basically the same time. if it runs for a minute or two and the radiator is still cold and the head is hot you have a pump problem. ive had 3 pumps fail, but it was from the engine harmonics breaking off the auto decomp tanges on the cam, then falling between the pump drive breaking off one of the ears. if your getting coolant coming out its sounding like a blown head gasket. it will push the coolant out the overflow bottle. or a leak in the line possibly.

I FILLED AND BLED THE RADIATOR THE FIRST TIME, NOT ON A SLANT THO?.. THATS ONLY AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON, AFTER THAT I FILLED IT AND BLED , THEN FILLED WITH SUPERCOOL. WE DID A SLOW RIDE THRU THE HILLS AND SOME CRAWLING WITH THE KIDS. THEN WE PARKED AND I FIXED SOMEONE ELSES TIRE CAUSE I HAD A COMPRESSOR ON MY RHINO. WHEN I GOT BACK IN 4 MINUTES LATER I SAW THE LIGHT ON AGAIN. ONLY PUSHED OUT THE COOLANT THE ONE TIME AFTER WE WERE MAKING A VIDEO AND I RAN A LONG STRETCH OF WOOPS LIKE THREE TIMES. THEN NOTICED MY FLOOR WET. IM THINKING IT MIGHT BE THE PUMP. MAYBE A A LIL RPM IT WORKS BUT AT IDLE IT DOESNT PUSH ENOUGH WATER. THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE UNDER FULL POWER TOO . WHATS A PUMP COST AND IS THER AN UPGRADE I SHOULD LOOK INTO. WHAT ABOUT OIL COOLERS.
high revs with a blown head gasket pushes water. the lower the rpm the less pressure escaping the cylinder into the water jacket. was the overflow bottle filled right after the run? or when the floor got wet was the overflow bottle full?
