Is anyone familiar with the factory fuel cooler system and how to bleed it?
I just got my truck back together after doing gaskets, studs, pistons and valvesprings and I can't get the air out of the fuel cooler system. The procedure that I have read was to unbolt the fuel cooler in front of the radiator and lay it horizontally while filling the system through the tiny rad cap on top. This is supposed to allow the air to escape from the system. But when I fill it, I only get a very small amount of coolant in the upper tank before it overflows. It never works it way down the lines to the front mounted cooler or the pump. The pump will even howl and make noise when it turns on because it isn't getting any coolant. Any help?
