BLHTAZ Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 No...I have never done it running. The three I have done have been with engine off and definitely cool enough that the t-stat was closed.
maddzz1 Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 The only time i did this was when i swapped my cluster and had to swap sensors. My truck was off and i had the cap on and a little fluid poured out then stopped. :hijack: nice one wade. :shake:
robfg67 Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Blatz, I followed your "air purging" instructions but I did it with the engine running (my fault-I didn't read your instructions correctly). When I took her out for a test drive, she was running like crap-low idle and no compression. Would this be symptomatic of air still in the system or could I have more significant problems? The reason why I needed to purge the system was because my original overflow bottle (21 years old) cracked.
robfg67 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Yes, I did plug it back in before the test drive. I'm heading back outside now to purge the air correctly this time.
