I'm kind of going crazy. I replaced my radiator because the old one was literally disintegrating. I never had a leak and it wasn't having any overheating problems. Just simple old age. New rad went in like a charm, but now the heat doesn't work. I found out from here that I should "burp" the system and I have done so. twice on Saturday, three times on Sunday and once on Monday. It burps and I get a little heat from the vents, then it goes cold again. I also notice that when the system is cool, all the hoses collapse and the system is under a vacuum, identified by the sucking noise when I removed the cap form the radiator. I have replaced the cap with another new one.
As I said, it all worked fine until I replaced the radiator, so I don't think it's the heads.
I have a replacement heater-core, should I just change it out and get it over with?
