RE: [DML] Re: Removing Heater Core Supply Line



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.
