I have a 90 cherokee. I recently changed out my thermostat again, I went from an Auto Zone 195 t-stat, to an OEM Mopar Stealership 195 t-stat. This one has the bleed valve at 12 'o clock, this how I installed it too with the bleed valve at 12 'o clock. After installing this I filled the expansion bottle up with anti-freeze and left the cap off and started the car. It started to get over 210, so I shut it off and let it cool down, then I started it again and all the coolant left the container and went through the motor so I added more. I shut the car off once it was full. I did notice that huge bubbles came up from the tank. But after driving around I found that my car has air in the cooling system once again. Is there anyway I can go about bleeding this without pulling the t-stat out again, or jacking the rear of the car up and pulling the temp. sensor? Can I just drain my anti-freeze, and pull the upper radiator hose off and fill it up with coolant until it overflows then quickly connect it to the radiator, and then fill the bottle up with anti-freeze? Would this effectively remove air? I'm about to give up on the closed cooling crap and do the poor man's open conversion.
