1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L V8 (Magnum 318) Stock everything.
I have a gurgle in the heater core on startup, I didn't use to so something changed.
Bleeding proceedure:
RADIATOR CAP = OFF
HEATER SET = HIGH
BLOWER FAN = HIGH
Let idle at varying speeds until engine reaches 195F and the thermostat opens.
The problem:
Even from a cold start the radiator level will slowly rise and start pouring out the radiator fill neck at a rate of ~4fl. oz. per minute. Attempting to bleed the coolant system results in a net loss of coolant in the system even after the thermostat has cycled several times.
I did the exhaust gas in coolant test with the blue reactive fluid and it passed. Is the next step buying a leak down tester?
