2014 3.6 pentastar coolant bleeder valve location

[ts27330]

2014 1500 Laramie 3.6 47,000 miles (just dont drive much, truck is parked in conditioned garage most of time) . Going to do a coolant service, based on time. Is there a bleeder valve to purge the air from coolant system? I have look everywhere on truck and online, but have not found any info for the location on a 2014 Ram with the 3.6. Found other videos for 3.6, Jeep , cars, etc, but their 3.6 has an obvious bleeder screw.

To my knowledge no, you can't just bleed the air as you need to fill that space with something else (coolant). I see people use kits like this that either sit on top of the radiator or the burp tank, but in our case you would do the radiator. You start the motor with some coolant sitting up in this funnel and whenever an air bubble passes by in the radiator this thing will force new fluid it and you can see the bubbles rise out.

+1 on this for the OP, great pic. I just did a coolant fill on my 2018 after replacing the shattty plastic oil cooler unit and used the setup in rzr6-4 pic. You can get them at harbor freight for less than $30 with their never ending sales.

My favorite tool for testing and refilling coolant systems is this:

Any reason this can’t/shouldn/t be used on my 5.7 RAM? I have mainly used it thus far on motorcycles, where it deals well with a couple models whose internal coolant passages have trap points, where air can pocket and not be flushed through or bled out.

Just wondering…
