I am going to replace my radiator on my 2002 dodge ram 1500 and have heard that if you dont bleed the coolant system you will blow out the seal on the radiator plastic tanks. How do I bleed the coolant system?
Do you

Easiest way is to put the front of the car off of the ground so the radiator fill cap is higher then the heater core, start the vehicle and run it at about 2000 rpm's and keep villing the coolant untill no more bubbles appear.
