Did the hose break or just come off the fitting? Did you get burnt?
Post some pics of your radiator setup. I know you have some weird dual radiator thing going on

Didn't get burnt, just real warm lol. It slipped off a fitting. After the blow out the temp dropped back down to just under 200* and stayed there until I got back to the camp ground area and then all of a sudden it dropped to 160* and then shot back up to 230* and then back down 200*. The temp gauge was sitting under 200* and you could here the engine go into limp mode at which time I shut the engine down. The back radiator was warm and had pressure on it. The front radiator was hot on top but where it goes into the engine it was cold to the touch. So it makes me thing the t-stat is sticking closed. Could be another air bubble, IDK. I will (should have) change out the t-stat regardless. I'm still trying to decide on whether or not to keep the dual setup.

Those temp swings are air bubbles. Do both radiators have caps? Do you have a bleed screw on the coolant inlet on top of the engine?

2 caps and I will have to see if there is a bleed screw. I may get one of those airlock purging tools.

When I unloaded it from the trailer I let it run idle for about 30 minutes before we went up the hill and it was fine. It blew about 10 minutes later going up the hill just past the play area on the left.
Not sure why it 2 radiators, but that's the ay it was built originally in 2006.

I guess the question is will this work with 2 radiators? Seems like I would need to plug one them to hold a vacuum.

Leave the cap on one and pull vacuum from the other. The cap is for pressure, not vacuum
Trailabite:
So I just ran out and looked. The front radiator does not have a cap on it but there is one in the top hose.
