2022 ROXOR hood release.

Okay, well that's no fun

Yeah mine is leaking/loosing coolant as well. It seems to be loosing it quicker in the past few weeks. I can see where it’s dripping from a few connections on the hoses, but can’t seem to resolve it with tightening them..

My lower radiator hose was the first leak. I removed the hose, roughed up the plastic with Emery cloth then used the old black permatex with a spring loaded clamp. That seemed to fix that connection. The next was the radiator hose on the thermostat housing. I just double clamped that one. 3 rd was the heater core bypass valve. Just a simple tightening on that. Good luck chasing leaks. I thought it was just me. I never had a cooling system so hard to contain before

A 4 psi cap brings the boiling point down to 226. I don't know what the OEM cap is but I think I'm going to look at the psi rating on mine and reduce the psi. The little diesel will never reach 226.

I just got my ‘22 ROXOR home and want to check fluid levels but I can’t get the hood open. Am I missing something? Feeling kinda dumb for asking this but it just won’t release.

I’m having same issue release will not hold it in position to open hood. Had to put something behind the lever to hold so I could open hood. Otherwise it’s a two person job. Is there an adjustment that can be made to the cable that pulls the release or is it just another bad design flaw ?

I will see what can find out. For now I have a stick I put behind lever to hold in place so I can open by myself

NOTE: I was looking over some new, probably 2026 Roxors on the lot over the weekend. The HOOD LATCH is now on the drivers side. They had only Green and Sand Tan colors on the lot. The Sand Tan did not look terrible, but I still like Green the best.

Bob, What else? It seems like the place that I got my Red Dirt Tractors is not focusing on them as they don't sure inventory and the Roxor part of web is not functioning ?
