Scott, what’s the proper way to bleed the coolant when finished
Start truck, run until fan comes on with heat (front and back) on high. Open bleed valves on both the reservoir and coolant pipe next to battery. Once coolant starts coming out of the valves, close them up.Scott, what’s the proper way to bleed the coolant when finished
Technically the correct procedure. Either way should work ok. My way will require checking of coolant levels over about a weeks time (if there’s a LITTLE air trapped in the system it works it’s way out). A lot of air trapped is a problem, as you’ll develop hot spots in the engine (which is problematic to say the least).
Sounds like you got it done and are leak free? Good work.Thank you both, I live in San Antonio but taking a drive to Houston next Friday, so I’ll have a week to watch it
Shouldn’t take all day. I’d say probably 1.5 to 2 hours total. Watch the video once or twice to get your bearings. I had to just figure it out which took me a bit longer and still (including the videoing) I was in a total of about 3 hours.Doing it today, finally have time today, all day if need be, I got new brass bleed screws yesterday, so I’ll keep you updated. After this I need to fix my d1
