Just playing :-)
There are 2 ways of doing this.
Step One in both.
Fill the radiator & overflow/coolant reservoir with the same 50/50 mixture, and leave the cap off.
Leave the radiator cap off, turn the engine on and let it run until the radiator "burps": You will see the coolant level drop and may see or hear a large air bubble come to the top as the system burps.
The other way is the same but you also squeeze the upper and lower radiator hose's
*** Use Caution Beware the Fan ***
Hope This Helps.
If this is for an S-Series, you don't have to, The system has a deairiation line and does it on its own.
The mechanic at the shop indicated that there was no bleed screw on the 200 Ford Explorer. This problem was resolved by starting the car (not driving it) and allowing it to run a little. The machanic did advise us to not allow the car to overheat.
You need to burp the radiator and cooling system.
It should have a bleeder screw on top of the thermostat housing.
The cooling system on a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT can be burped by gently squeezing the upper radiator hose. Keep topping the overflow tank until the air is purged.
burp the water system that may help
If you don't burp your engine, air bubbles can remain trapped in the cooling system, which can lead to overheating and inefficient engine performance. These air pockets can prevent proper coolant circulation, potentially causing engine damage over time. Additionally, neglecting to burp the engine can result in fluctuating temperature readings and reduced effectiveness of the cooling system. Regular maintenance, including burping, helps ensure optimal engine operation.
Locate the plug on the bottom of the radiator to drain it. Put some radiator cleaner in and drain it again.
You carefully remove the top coolant hose to the heater, not totally off, just enough so air can get out.
Remove coolant cap, allow engine to get to operating temperature, turn on heater full blast and patiently wait for air to escape system.
pop the radiater cap off and let the van engine run for 30 minutes. this will burp out any air in the cooling system and your engine will not overheat then. afterwards, fill the radiater back up as needed.
