I followed the directions on the box......not in backwards. But I'll check it.

You most likely have an air pocket in the system somewhere.
Does that thing have a bleeder screw somewhere? Usuall mounted somewhere at a high point in the cooling system. If no bleeder screw, let the engine cool down so u don;t get burnt and pull off a heater hose and pour some coolant into radiator untill it purges all air out, sometimes it has to be done a few times. Air can be a bitch to get out on some vehicles. OH, do it with the engine off..Or you'll have a huge mess. |

That very well could be it!!!! Seemed like the system didn't take as much as what came out. Must be an air bubble. Good thing I thought to bring the gallon of Antifreeze with me. That's probably it......even though I feel stupid, I'm glad it's something stupid....I hope.

This is why we use an "air lift" to fill the system!
It pulls a vacuum in the cooling system collapsing the hoses and s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g the coolant in with NO air pockets..

Tried getting the bubble out....nada. Will it eventually work it's way out? I tried releasing a hose a little to let air out while I squeezed the hoses. Worked a little. No bleader valve. I know this because I completely removed the radiator when I flushed it.
I get a little heat then it goes away in a minute or two.
Just tell me it's not the heater core.

Are the heater hoses getting hot? If just one is hot, the core could be blocked, if neither are hot, you may still have an air pocket stopping circulation.

I'll try that.....I don't even know where the freakin heater core is.....
I'll look for it. If I don't get this thing fixed today after work, I have a big hammer, I've been dying to swing.
Thanks for the tips....
