How can I bleed the air out of my Cherokee? As far as I know I do not have bleeder screws. I have done a full swap on my entire cooling system and it still runs hot. It has to be because of the air in it right? When I squeeze my upper and lower rad hoses with the cap off, bubbles of air come out of the part on the radiator where the cap attaches. Any other suggestions?

Hello and thanks for donating

If there are no bleeder valves for the cooling system then remove the radiator cap while COOL. Raise the front of the vehicile and support safely. While front end is raised and radiator cap off, start vehicle and let it run for awhile at operating temperature. This will purge the air out of the system.
