I have changed out several over the years due to no heat unless at speed it may get alittle warmer due to the impellar eroding to half of its original size & hardly pushing any antifreeze. 1963 Belvedere 440 Max Wedge Tribute 1970 Charger R/T S.E. 440 Six Pack 1970 Challenger R/T, 528 Hemi 1970 Charger 500 S.E. 440 4 BBL 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 383 1974 Chrysler New Yorker 440 1996 2500 RAM 488 V-10 4X4 2004 3500 Dually Cummins 4x4 2012 Challenger R/T Classic.

It doesn't matter , sitting still , low speed or high speed , it still doesn't put out the heat. One day I let it run for 2 hours , on a stop and go trip , and it finally put out some fair heat. Hmmm , air in the system , is it a flaw in the way the system is made ?? Frank

It has rear heat and that is where the air bubbles up to. Since it is above the engine, it is hard to get rid of it. What he did was the fastest way to flush the bubble out. If you do that, make sure that you have a concentrated solution of antifreeze in the radiator and engine. To keep it from happening, NEVER let the coolant overflow tank go below the middle of the coolant dipstick. If it sucks air into the system, you will have to do it all over again.
