    You mean Altima...? I'm not fucking with it. My mechanic stands behind his work, and the coolant system was just serviced by him like three weeks ago.

    Yeah, Altima. I don’t know how to spell it. :rofl:
    I wouldn’t own a Nissan unless it was a Pre-2000 model.

    Park on hill overnight. Start it up with cap off Massage the radiator inlet hose once it starts to warm up to try and convince any bubbles to escape.

    Will parking it on the incline at the end of my driveway work? There aren't any true hills conveniently located near my house. Also, which is the radiator inlet?

    Ideally, the top of the radiator needs to be higher than the top of the heater core.
    So the incline needs to be kind of steep.

    @TnShooter

    Heat not working 100% when it's gonna get into the 50s doesn't really bother me; A/C shutting the bed when it's 90 degrees is a different matter entirely...:goingcrazy:

    Dress in layers and take a gallon coolant.
    Just in case the air finds its way out on the trip.

    I hate wearing layers when I'm driving, and the good news is that the heat works when the truck is moving. Can't be any worse than being on Boston Whaler center console in Massachusetts during a gale...

    I hate serious cold, but I've been known to roll the driver's window down when it's in the 40s...

    I know a lot of you guys that follow thread like rock music.
    I can not figure out who this band reminds me of, the guitar solo reminds me a bit of Black Sabbath / Ozzy stuff.

    But the vocals I’m lost.

    Yeah, hopefully just a trapped air pocket. As mentioned, if you can park facing up hill with the cap off it would be ideal.

    I can take the cap off, but I don't have a steep hill near my house...
