I are a mechanic!

I guess bleeding the air from a modern system is a bit of an undertaking. I think that I got most of it out but I'm still running a little hotter than normal. It could be the new thermostat
but I'm going to elevate the front end a little more and see if I have any more bubbles.

I had a Subaru that had a small cap on the opposite side of the radiator cap. I didn't know it was there and I thought it had a bad head gasket.The car sat for monrths.
Finally when I found that little cap to let the air out of the system it stopped overheating.

My Dodge has a little plug that screws into one of the water ports on the manifold. I unscrewed that almost all of the way and that where the bubbles escaped. It took about 20 minutes.

I had a friend who replaced the water heater on a dodge car. I stopped by and he was very upset because the engine STILL over heated.
It was boiling water out and I asked why he didn't put antifreeze in it. He said he didn't want to waste it in case the water heater was not the problem.

So who knows where I'm going with this?

Not sure what a water heater on a car is... maybe you mean the heater core? Or was it one of those 110V plug in heaters that keeps the water warm in cold temps?

OH crap, I meant water pump.
