Bob, I'm a little confused, is this with the van raised on ramps? Also, don't you need to open the front bleeder screw afterward? I'm still having bleeder problems. I got it all bled, but then later my temp gage stopped working (again) and I am suspicious that air is trapped near the rear bleeder. I did get air out of there once, raising the rear of the van, but now it seems that I can't get any coolant out the rear bleeder no matter what I do. John >>>>Without opening the bleeders and the engine cold start the van. Rev the engine this drives the coolant to the radiator top off the coolant and rev the engine a little more to see if the level drops more add more coolant if needed. Put the pressure cap on before you lower the engine RPM and you are DONE |
