Want to thank everyone, Burped the air and it works just fine!Only thing I noticed is I used to start it let it build to about 130 degrees and turn on the water pump and temp gauge would drop back down to nothing and gradually build back up,and go all the way up to about 190, this one didn't do that,just stayed at 130 and then built up to 150-160 and ran it quite a while. Would have had to shut it off with old pump. Thanks again, I was pretty disgusted, Just spent a month,pulling trans about 5 times to fix a leak which turned out to be converter snout (which was fairly new)and I kept going through the pump,and I pulled the engine for a hairline crack in the Milodon oil pan and replaced. Just a long 5 weeks or so....



I have the same problem every year after I drain
the anti freeze... it gets a air pocket, I'll fill
it then warm the engine up(pump turned off) and when
it gets warm I shut down the engine then turn the
pump on and off a few times then it'll finally pump,
then I can top off the cooling and all is well.
I also put a clear plastic tube in the upper radiator
hose just to make sure its pumping. I only have the
problem if the cooling system has been drained
