In my old 3.8 there was special vent plug.Is 5.0 equipped with a plug? How to correctly fill cooling system? And bleed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 My general method is as follows:-Fill up coolant system through radiator cap. Don't top it off, just a normal level.-jack up front end of car so radiator cap is the highest point in the system.-Start car with radiator cap open.-Watch coolant level, when it starts getting high, you usually can blurp the throttle to draw more into the system. -when the thermostat opens, the coolant level will drop.-as the level drops, fill coolant to keep it at there top of the radiator.-So long as the level stays constant and temp stays normal you're all set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 i fill the radiator up a decent amount then squeeze the hell out of the upper rad hose to force the coolant through the system. bulbs up the coolant from the air getting pushed through but sucks the coolant into the block. rinse and repeat until it's full. drive it around a bit and check it later.

410sn95 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I use a coolant fill funnel, seals to the radiator and keeps the mess to a minimum. Fill up mid level in funnel then after the thermo pops fill to mid level in the funnel again. Run until the bubbles stop coming up. Plug funnel with the T. Pull the funnel and adaptor do-hicky. On goes the cap and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
