COOLING SYSTEM BLEEDING
GASOLINE ENGINES
Air in system will collect under radiator cap. As engine
reaches operating temperature, coolant and any trapped air will enter
reserve tank. As engine cools, a vacuum will be created which will
draw only coolant into cooling system. After engine has gone through a
warm-up and cooling cycle, run engine until it again reaches operating
temperature. Ensure coolant in reserve tank is at warm coolant mark on
reserve tank or dipstick.
5.9L DIESEL ENGINE
For bleeding procedures on 5.9L diesel, see appropriate 12-
valve or 24-valve engine article in ENGINES. DO NOT operate engine
while filling cooling system.
