Jack up the front end of the truck, fill through top rad hose then re-attach, idle engine, fill reservoir as necessary, cap off, then drive, drive, DRIVE.

With my 160 stat, engine temps sit between 185 - 195 (Southern mid-90s & 50+% humidity)... slightly higher compression than a stock setup. You&#39;ll see mixed opinions about using these... especially if you live in a colder climate area.
