When I replaced mine, I filled the coolant back to the proper level then took her for a spin. During the drive, I got the temp up to normal, then stayed in lower gears to get the rpm up. I'd take it up high then hit then low, over and over, to cause fluctuations in the flow of the coolant. When I got home, the air had worked out of the system and I had to add about 1/2 gallon to bring it back up. Over the next week I had to add a little here and there while the trapped bubbles got out of the system.

Btw, when they replace the clamps, they're supposed to put screw type clamps instead of the springs according to a TSB released earlier.
