Joel,
Park your van on as much of an =
incline as
you can find nose up...
<<16 inches is good...w/block behind
tire.>>
1) Remove your front grill. {very short half screws, =
quarter
turn}
2) Release the bleeder bolt on =
radiator.
3) With van running (warm), turn the heater on =
high AND (Rear heat exchanger) heater under back =
seat as
well... (this will push the bubbles from the high points in the hoses/ =
to burp
the system)
4) Looking at the motor open second =
bleeder valve
(upper left, feel for warm coolant hose...)
do not confuse air cooler valves =
there'll two of
them side by side...do not open them!!
5) remove hose on coolant expansion =
tank &
cap (mine is blue if that helps)...
6) **premixing 50/50 saves allot of headaches =
Fill as needed with proper antifreeze =
..
I'll be around if you need any further help...Mtngal
