Frustrating

[hogjowl]

I’m trying to bleed the air out of my heat exchangers
So far, it’s required the use of a Phillips screwdriver, a flat head screwdriver and a pair of pliers.
And I’ve been looking at it for 30 minutes

 

[hogjowl]

I think I saw a bubble!

 

[Living The Dream]

What kind of maintenance are you doing?

 

[hogjowl]

I’m going to be Bobs age before this finishes bleeding

 

[hogjowl]

What kind of maintenance are you doing?

Had to have my radiator replaced

 

[Jimmy L]

Pair of pliers and turn it.
No need for anything else
Might have to do it a couple times till most of the air is out.
I'll be up all night waiting for your texts

 

[Trip Moses]

Is the truck running? Or are you hoping for divine intervention.

 

[hogjowl]

I could figure out which was the first one in line, so I opened both

 

[hogjowl]

Is the truck running? Or are you hoping for divine intervention.

Yes
Do I need to turn the heater on?
Blinkers?

 

[Jimmy L]

I suggest sticking your head out of the window and yelling YA HOO!
several times

 

[hogjowl]

I just saw another bubble

I just saw another bubble

Don't chew gum and bleed at the same time.

 

[Trip Moses]

I’ve never had a direct drive but are there shut offs between the radiator and the HXs

 

[hogjowl]

If there are, Jimmy didn’t tell me about them

Usually not but you can have them installed. Be glad you have bleed valves on your heat exchangers. I am having problems with my hydramaster cds exchangers but don't have any bleed valves. I back flushed them and got a lot of debris out but I think when I put it together again, I may be getting an airlock. First heat exchanger gets hot, second one, not so much.

 

[hogjowl]

I seriously think Butler and Cleanco are the only two worth buying

 

[hogjowl]

Just saw the third bubble
After an hour

 

[steve_64]

I'm bleeding mine on the butler. I'm on day two now.

Better heat exchangers for sure.

 

[Mikey P]

I'll never forget the first job that Marty ran his vortex on.. I got a call asking why the unit would not engage ..of course I asked him if he had turned the van on and there was a dead silence...

 

[hogjowl]

Liar

 

[Trip Moses]

They put rad fluid back in?

 

[hogjowl]

Let’s hope

 

[hogjowl]

Mosquitoes are out in January!

 

[Trip Moses]

Mosquitoes are out in January!

Bastards!!

 

[Trip Moses]

Those bleeders screw in to open right ?

 

[Cleanworks]

Those bleeders screw in to open right ?

Don't confuse him, any more.

 

[hogjowl]

Both of you are morons

 

[BIG WOOD]

I seriously think Butler and Cleanco are the only two worth buying

If that white magic direct drive 1200 was still on the assembly line, butler and cleanco would be sweating.
