I have a 2011 Detonator model (4.0) (90k) and I just replaced the water pump and radiator. I can only get it to take 1.5 gallons of coolant and I still am getting no heat. Running at 3/4 on the temp gauge at idle. The thermostat is less than a year old. Anyone dealt with this?

See this above THREAD, may be helpful. Good Luck!

Thanks, that backs up what I've researched. I also read that I need to drive it to "burp" it. Up to a little more than 2 out of 3 gallons. Guess I'll stay close to home!

update- driving it around released the airlock problem and backwashing the heater core solved the heat issue.

Thanks for the UPDATE!
