Cooling System Burp Procedure

I had a lower radiator hose that was leaking and this thread really helped me out, I basically had the front end up quite a bit. I rolled the car off the lift and had the front tires on the ramp going onto the lift. It was a success, a few hours later I added about 8 ounces of coolant, and then a few days later about 4 ounces of coolant. I checked it a week later and I have not had to add any coolant.

Or if you haven’t rounded it out yet it’s surprising just how handy a Milwaukee 1/4” impact is at knocking a little corrosion loose.

I did this procedure and I was only able to get about 1 and 1/2 gallons in. When I drained it I probably got about 3 and 1/2 gallons out. Did I do something wrong?

I always let the car sit over night and refill from the cross over tube till full.

It also helps if you have the front of the car lifted.....front wheels on ramps, up on jackstands or in my case, an inclined driveway.
That helps to purge all the air out of the COT fill pipe.

Somewhere in the settings there's a way to set it up so your sent messages show up in your folder...I don't remember how as I did this years ago.
