Thanks for the reply. What are the "airflow lots"? Also, How do I get rid of the airbubble? I've bled the system with both the front AND the back raised.

Airbubble!!! the heater core goes dry first, this is an early warning. Actually the defrost goes cold first, then floor. At higher revs the pump cam compress the airbubble enough to lower coolant level below pump inlet, thus no circulation and high/rapid overheat. If you aren't getting the max overheat, it may be something as simple as weeak antifreeze mixture. I've had the coolant in the heater go to slush due to windchill, and no heat despite engine being perfectly normal. Try shutting down the airflow lots prior to when this usually happens and see if that helps. tim
