bleed your coolant system its a air pocket its a 12mm bleeder valve i believe its on the water neck on the head where the upper radiator hose is or on back by the thermostat and it is possible for a thermostat to stick open oh yea and did you mix the antifreeze with half water and half antifreze or did you use the premix

I cannot understand why people insist on being pricks on this forum. Dude no one is going to give you rep for being the cool guy asshole, just chill out. Maybe you haven't figured it out yet but new people have to start somewhere. You signed up for this forum knowingly and THEN CHOSE to post in his thread. If you're that irritated about it, ignore it.

OP, did you use straight anti-freeze without diluting it first?
I agree with taking the filler cap off and letting it run and topping off as the best way to burp it.

Probably thermostat stuck open. He says he replaced it. But did you really? Could be a faulty one you got.

^ agree. Thermostat stuck open. I know OP said he replaced it, but that's what the symptoms point to.
Not sure I agree about bleeding, because based on the description, coolant seems to be circulating.
