Re: bleed coolant lines
Is this vehicle equipped with a radiator fill cap? On my older vehicles I would start the vehicle up with the cap off and refill as necessary. When the coolant level would get close to the top of the engine, I would place my cap back on. I would use this method when I was starting a cold engine of course.
The only way to fill my Prowler is through the coolant reservoir unit...which is pressurized. So...when the engine is cold and off...I carefully (numerous times) squeeze the upper radiator hose to burp the system. Yes...I have a bleeder screw but it's rather difficult to access so I don't bother with it.
This proceedure works fine for me.
Good luck!
