Regarding bleeding the air. My cooling fans worked very intermittently and whenever they desired. It took me several months of people telling me my fans weren't kicking on because of a bad ground. I should replace all my wiring, I should buy new relays, or I had a bad otterstat and every other crazy.. I had an air bleeder hose already on my car. FINALLY, somebody suggested I bleed the air out right at the radiator AT THE RADIATOR.. I did it, the fans have worked every time since.. Thanks and here's to those who have fan problems.
