 Subject: what's the best way to bleed the cool sy
IP: Logged
Message:
Just replaced the water pump about a week ago, refilled it with new antifreeze, was wondering how do you bleed the system? I know it's a stupid question but I havent found a svce manual for the truck yet.
Note: I have the 5.2 L engine

With a closed system, it will bleed itself after a few heat/cool cycles. Just makes sure there is plenty of fluid in the overflow tank. If you want the absolute best method, get a vacume purge tool from somebody like SK tools. It's about $100 or so, but purges all the air out right off the bat. A small hole drilled in the thermostat makes this job a lot easier.
