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.

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
