freakjeep93 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 i talked to dad about this (hes machanic king around our place) and he says it sounds like your thermostat is either the wrong one or in backwards. or it may have air in the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeman17 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 There is air for sure. Thermostat is a 195 degree and it can't go in the otherway the housing doesnt fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakjeep93 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 okay then i just read that you should park it on a hill and loosen the sending unit and that will bleed the air out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeman17 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Yes I know i need to do that but it still heated up last time with air in the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakjeep93 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 it will always heat up eventually another idea to get the air out is o run it with the rad cao off when its uo to temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeman17 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 really so after it warms up just take off cap and let it run for a little bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakjeep93 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 just fire it up with the cap off and drive around untill it gets to opoerating temp then put the cap on and see if it helps it should get the air out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 You guys are forgetting this is the CLOSED system!!!! Jake, do i need to come over there and beat you with the temp sender? Â In this system, it won't burp like an open. Leaving the cap off does no real good. You HAVE TO park it facing down hill while cold, pull the rear sender, and bleed it off. I was assuming you bled it like I told you to after doing the t-stat. It will act like it is UNTIL YOU bleed it. Â Rob L. :fool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeman17 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 well if you beat me with the sender does that mean you will burp it for me :rotf: :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 For some air that will work, but these RENIX 4.0L's are a son-of-a if you don't bleed them properly. Â Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 well if you beat me with the sender does that mean you will burp it for me :rotf: :rotf: Â Yep, but I will come a swinging with that sensor if I pull it and there is a HUGE air pocket... :roll: Â Rob L.
