How Do You Bleed Cooling System On A 2003 Chevy 1500 Silverado Pickup?

I own a shop, and this is what I would suggest you do; You can either go to the library and read all about it in a Chilton’s Repair Manual for free, or purchase a Haynes Repair Manual for your vehicle at the parts store. Some vehicles has a bleeder valve for this, while others are purged by removing the cap, running the engine til the radiator gets hot, capping it off, and filling recovery tank up to the line on the side of it that says full hot, or it could be full cold. Once the engine has gotten fully hot, turn it off, let it sit till it gets completely cold again, remove the radiator cap (if it has one) and fill the radiator up to within an inch of the top, make sure the coolant recovery tank is properly filled too. This should do the trick, but I would strongly suggest reading a repair manual on the proper way to bleed the system that it has. Also; many require special antifreeze, so pay attention to what the stickers under the hood say. Part 2: Air in a cooling system will go to
