park on a uphill incline or on ramps with the front end up higher than the rear. Start engine let heat up with heater on high and fan on high. Turn off engine and let cool. Take off radiator cap and fill slowly with 50/50 antifreeze until it quits bubbling and gulping water. Put the cap on start up and repeat the above steps until you can't pour anymore antifreeze into radiator

Better answer by Gm mechanic: No need to park on hill. Remove radiator cap and fill with 50/50 antifreeze almost full. Start engine, turn on heater lever to hot. Fan does not need to be on for faster warmup. Start engine and wait until thermostat opens, (coolant drops suddenly in radiator). Shut off engine and add coolant to fill or leave running but add coolant quickly. Repeat as necessary until full. The issue is that the thermostat when closed keeps an air pocket in engine. Some engines have a bleed hole in thermostat to overcome this, but not many. Mostly Diesels and trucks have a bleed hole. The object is to get the thermostat to open and allow coolant to circulate freely through radiator and engine.
