Leave the upper hose off of the water outlet of the pump, pour it in through there.

You will need to "burp" the Renix. Hopefully your thermostat has a couple small holes drilled in it at 6 and 12 positions, that will help. If your rig is stock, park it with a nose-down attitude and then remove the temperature gauge sender at the driver's side rear of the head and let the air out there.

I put on a late model thermostat housing with the threaded port, tapped it out to 1/4" NPT and installed a brass petcock, and I attach a 12" piece of hose to that, crack the petcock, and it is "burped" in about 30 seconds.

Thank you Joe....will try in a week.
