Burp the radiator?

[JnyBob]

Ok, I have a 2002 Jeep Liberty Limited. I was reading a post that suggested burping the system after a new radiator was installed. How does one burp a closed cooling system like is on the Liberty? Thank you all in advance for your time. PS. The forums are great. I'm glad I found them.

Use Mopar Hoat or Zerex G05 coolant only. If you use the wrong coolant it is bad news, flush time !
The coolant reservoir monitor it and allow to cool overnight and re-fill to the cold line each morning for a few days.
The air bleed can also be used at top rad hose when hot to remove air, when hot.

Thanks for your response. Opps! I just put prestone in my Liberty. What is the best was to flush it out?

Prestone eek ! Always refer to your owners manual for any fluids etc for your Jeep.
Hoat & prestone turns to gel & can damage the plastic waterpump impeller.
The best way is to find Jeep a dealer, that has a pressurized re-circulating machine. It guarantees getting all the bad out.
It's not an easy process to remove it all, much still remains in heater core as a DIY.

HELP!

Make: 2002 Jeep Liberty Ltd, immaculate condition body and interior. Low kms only 92,000kms / 57,166miles, not bad for a 20 year old Jeep. Never off road.

Had a radiator **** out on April 21st 2021, the **** out was at the fins area on the radiator.
It was a Spectre radiator bought from a local Napa store, only lasted 11 months.

Replaced it with a Mishimoto radiator bought April 21st, 2021 and installed that in place of the Spectre that the Napa store sells, thought I was buying a better radiator. Replaced thermostat and water pump at the same time. Heater fine, A/C fine

Well last week on Thursday 27th January, 2022, walked out to the garage and my beautiful Jeep Liberty is leaking coolent all over the garage floor after been sitting for 4 days. Radiator last installed in the Jeep 8 months ago.

Took it to my mechanic and as I had feared it was the radiator, the fins on the radiator are blown out.
Shoot, it's a Mishimoto radiator!!! WTH!!!
I thought Mishimoto radiators were good radiators.

Can anyone HELP? Why does my 2002 Jeep Liberty keep blowing out radiators?

A Million Thanks in advance!!!
