    In need to replace a damaged heater hose on my truck which will require draining most of my antifreeze. Is there a bleeder for purging air from the system after I refill the antifreeze or what is the best method of purging the system? The heater hoses are very high in relational to the engine and radiator and I wonder if air will become trapped somewhere.Thanks in advance for any advise and help!

    I changed my coolant about a month ago, didn't have any issue refilling. It didn't airlock badly like some vehicles like to do. I filled 'till the rad was full, ran it at idle, topped it off while running and put the cap on. I filled the overflow reservoir to the full line, then topped it up to full with a hot engine after a few more heat cycles.
