My banshee has been driving me crazy for a while now. Its been overheating after running for about 30 minutes in the sand. The coolant gets very hot and starts going out the overflow valve on top of the radiator and drips down on the exhaust through the connected hose. To try and solve the issue I did the following:
1- installed new head gasket (installed properly with 20 lb.ft of torque)
2- installed new radiator cap
3- installed new water pump propeller (stock)
4- flushed cooling system and used new coolant
5- changed gear oil
6- tried different fuel mixes
All the above did not change anything. Banshee still overheats and coolant starts shooting out the overflow valve. Other than the overheat, the banshee works perfectly and starts from first kick.
My banshee is a 2004 100% stock, no modifications what so ever. Its very well maintained.
I need some professional help guys!
