I had success doing the "Milking the Cow" routine. Open the bleeder screw next to the reservoir cap and fill it all the way to about an inch from the top. Once you start to get to "Milk" you will need to have the bleeder valve closed. Squeeze both hoses a bit and watch for air bubbles. You will have to do this for about 5 minutes and you will see the fluid level going down. Just keep filling it up to "MAX" until you don't see any air bubbles from the reservoir. Then start the car and set the heater to MAX, and watch the temp gauge. Once the hot air starts to come thru the vents, go ahead and shut the car down. I would open the bleeder valve to ensure there is no more air, and only water coming out. Once the car has cooled off enough, open the cap and top the coolant off if needed.

Got the beast up and running, once again. I would like to THANK EVERYONE again for all the help. This car belongs to my son, he is working towards medical school. This mean he doesn't have a lot of extra money for new car. Yes I do try to help out, but I also feel they need to earn it. THANKS once again.
