new to me 95 ram 2500, doing a full tune-up and fluid change.
I drained the coolant, this stuff was rust colored and disgusting, glad I am doing the change.
Closed the ****, poured in two bottles of the Prestone heavy rust stuff, and poured in almost a gallon of distilled water. The radiator filled up, and i can't cycle it down to add more. I ran the engine briefly, squeezed the coolant lines to get the air out, nothing has helped.
I empty the coolant out of the can and realize only about 2 gallons came out. I see that there should be about 5 gallons of coolant in the radiator, and then more in the rest of the system. So should i drive this for a bit and let it cycle through, and let the cleaner do its thing, or do a full fluid drain from all the hoses and start over again?
