1) Unclip the plactic coolant hose on the side of the battery box.
2) The coolant reservoir is just clipped into place, so pull it loose and set something under it to hold it up higher then any other point in the engine.
3) Fill the coolant reservoir above the fill line with coolant and leave the cap off.
4) Losen the bleed screw (old bleed screw is on the hose above the engine fan, the new setup has the bleed screw in the plastic Tee) You will hear air coming out of the screw if you have alot of air in the system. Wait until coolant starts to flow out of the screw and let it drain out for a minute or so. Keep an eye on the coolant reservoir and make sure the level doesn't go more then an inch below the fill line. Keep filling the reservoir while it is bleeding until you think all the air is out and just a steady stream of coolant comes out of the bleed screw.
5) Tighten the bleed screw while coolant is still flowing.
6) Fill the reservoir just above the fill line.
7) Tighten the reservoir cap and clip the reservoir back in place.
8) re-clip the plastic coolant hose on the side of the battery box.
9) Start the car and put the heater on full heat and full fan speed.
10) Let the car warm up (with the heat on) and let the thermostat open a few times.
11) Take it for a quick drive (with the heat still on) and listen for the waterfall sound inside the truck. If you don't hear it then you probably got all of the air out.
12) Once you get home and the engine completely cools check to see if you need to top up with coolant.

Done
