Antifreeze Again

If it's frozen in the pump you're going to damage it.
Sounds like you're mixture has too much water. You need to be 50/50.
Thaw it out, drain some coolant out of the sled and add some un-cut antifreeze.
Or better yet drain all the antifreeze and refill the sled with new 50/50 mixture.
 
what type of antifreeze? in there when i mixed mine 50.50 it was like clear yellow
is it suppose to be that
ppl telll me its good but i dont think so,

Get it inside and thaw it out. Then drain it and put new, fresh, properly mixed stuff in it so you know what it is and that it's good.

Yellow sounds like pee. I don't think that it works very well after its been out of the body for very long:)

ok AND sorry alot of question i know my stuff, but i just wanna make real sure,
ok the drain plug will it all get antifreeze out of rads?
 
what i do is raise the rear of the sled up pull the drain bolt up front and the bleed bolt in the rear(remove the seat,bumper cover) when all drained out
i use a little shop air and blow in through the rear bleed bolt hole to force
any left in the coolers/lower case out..
 
Just what daman said except I open the filler cap as well.
You just want the cooling circuit vented so the fluid will drain out the lowest point.
Any brand of antifreeze will do. All it does is keep the water from freexing and lubricate the internal parts.
