I know you put coolant in the coolant reservoir BUT do you also add coolant to the radiator? Or does it automatically flow from the overflow?

Flows from the expansion tank... (no need to add in the radiator). then massage the large hoses with your heat on and engine running...you'll see air come up...keep filling it until you've topped it off and no more coolant goes in and no more air bubble work their way out. (full line on your expansion tank).
