Put it up on ramps. Remove upper radiator hose from radiator. Loosen
same hose at thermostat
housing then rotate hose so end you removed is pointing up. Fill with
mixed coolant until radiator
core is covered. Reattach hose to radiator then top off with coolant.
Start engine and wait until temp '
rises and you get heat from heater. Back off ramps and shut down engine
and check level.
Take for a test drive.
This is the way that the shop my buddy works at does it. They never have
any problems
with air bubbles.

Has your coolant level gone down?
That's what I figured. The coolant level dropped about a quart or less. I
really don't like seeing the temp gauge go over 100. I squeezed the top
radiator hose as I was filling it to try to burp out any air. Know of any other
(more successful) tips?
