I had added coolant, but it kept over heating, being a new Box owner I didn't know about the bleeding until I already had the parts and was reading up on how to replace them and read the bleeding part. So I have $300 in water pump and low temp stat sitting here doing nothing lol. I'll probably replace them when it gets warmer out. Where the heck is Spring?
Weird how similar our situations are. I just went out to check it out and went to feed and bleed the coolant as described in the manual... i'm having a little trouble. I don't have a bleed valve i do not believe on my 2001. I'm gonna keep at it. Weird though. How hot did yours top out at?
