Ok, i did the tstat change today on a cold engine. When i pulled the old tstat out of the housing is when i lost some coolant, i pulled the tstat out n then the coolant ran fer a few seconds n stopped. I'm takeing this is normal??? I put the new one in and followed all directions. So far no porblems but I havent ran it much cause of severe thuderstorms weve been getting the past few days. I won't know if it worked until i get stuck in traffic on a hot and humid day. Will post results.

how often should a flush be preformed?

I took it for a drive finally and made purpose to get stuck in traffic. it was running around 150 n then the traffic. In the traffic it GRADUALLY went to 210 n hovered there but as soon as air hit it it went right back down. I bled the air out of the system but as soon as the hissing stopped that was it, no coolant came out. I am thinking there is still air in the system somewhere. Is there any other bleed valve and how to use it

Was the engine running when you bled the air out? It should be warmed up and running.
