How do you bleed air from coolant system in a 3.5 Chrysler 1997?

To bleed the air from the cooling system in a 3.5L Chrysler engine from 1997, follow these steps:

1. Park your vehicle on level ground and turn off the engine.

>

2. Allow the engine to cool down completely.

>

3. Open the hood of the vehicle.

>

4. Locate the radiator cap (usually on the top or side of the radiator).

>

5. Remove the radiator cap and set it aside.

>

6. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes until the thermostat opens.

>

7. While the engine is running, observe the coolant level in the radiator. If the level is low, add more coolant until it reaches the "FULL" mark.

>

8. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down again.

>

9. Repeat steps 6-8 until the coolant level remains stable and there are no more air bubbles rising in the radiator.

>

10. Replace the radiator cap and close the hood of the vehicle.

Once the bleeding is completed, test-drive the vehicle and monitor the temperature gauge to make sure the engine is operating at the correct temperature. If the engine temperature is too high, you may need to repeat the bleeding process.
