How to Re-Fill Coolant
How to Re-Fill Coolant I drained out the coolant to install some gauge senders. I drained it out of the radiator and out of the block. Can anyone guide me on how to re-fill the system with coolant? I checked the manual but it was pretty scetchy. And, is it safe to add a bottle of Water Watter? Thanks

Re: How to Re-Fill Coolant I wouldn't recommend drivin it far before you know its full. 
I recently put in a tstat and only lost a minimal amt of coolant, but air got in the system and caused my temp to rise VERY fast to 230+. Just keep checking the level.

Re: How to Re-Fill Coolant It will take a while to burp all the air out of the system. Make sure you check the level before you drive it for the next couple times. I had to top mine off 4 times before it stayed full...
