The fans turn on at almost 220 degrees. One way to kick the fans on is to turn the AC on for a second...it will kick the fans on for a few minutes.

As far as all the air, just do your best. I was trying to think of a way to adapt some kind of a bleeder screw to the thermo housing, but I have not come up with a way. If anyone has any ideas on this, lemme know.

Yea really sucks the 3.4 have no bleeder valves..

don't worry about u filling it up too much, that is what you have the overflow jug for...

you did install the thermostat in the right direction right? the 'pellet' side toward the engine block.

If I remember correctly, I think u also have to turn the interior heat on to full heat, so the heater core is also flushed & filled w/coolant.
