Help, cooling system not circulating

[Y33TREKker]

We'll have to agree to disagree. On most cars, as long as there is coolant in the reservoir, normal driving will allow any air in the system to go into the reservoir and be replaced with coolant the next time it cools down. If that ain't happenin, then there is a design flaw or there is something FUBAR in the system. AFAIK other than the PITA thermostat replacement, we don't have any design flaws in our cooling system that would cause trapped air pockets.

I'm not disagreeing that it's what's recommended by Isuzu ... or even that it's not a valid process. It's just way over the top for regular maintenance.

Agree to disagree then, since the process listed was simply meant to minimize the chance of any air pockets forming during the coolant refilling process, not the steps required to check the coolant every time a person wants to check the coolant.

Agreed - we're both too bone headed to give in

How can you say that when we've not even been talking about the same thing?
