[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 425821, member: 18629"] I drove my Jeep up on ramps to get the front end higher, filled it and let it set for an hour or so. I believe the proper thermostat has a very small hole in the plate with a loose rivet that allows air to pass through it. Without that hole air can be trapped until the t-stat opens up. Be sure the heater selector is set for full heat when filling it. This is a somewhat common problem if rushed or not done right. [/QUOTE]
