I have been experimenting with the Kennedy petcock on ways to do a one-man cooling system bleed. I want to give my van a few more days to see if the red light starts coming on. During the first blled experiment, I got "crud" from the radiator. So I may be on to something. Once I get the bleed procedure worked out, will try the flush next.
