I don't really use those caps anymore, they're a bit prone to catastrophic failure.

I pulled the cap, started the Jeep and started dumping coolant in. It took about 1.25 gallons before the radiator was full. Then the system started bubbling a little. I let that go for a while then started revving the engine. As it revved, coolant sucked, then bubbled back up somewhat foamy when I let off.
After 12 minutes or so of this, the temp was still hovering around 180. Never got hot enough to even open the t-stat. When I have more time, I'll let it go longer, but I have to get to work on the Ford now...
I'll get some pictures for analysis later...

Temp gauge last night
Newly added coolant. Does it look slightly brownish to anyone else? I don't know...
Temp gauge today after idling and being revved for 12 minutes
Click for video of it idling and revving. There's a metallic ring when I let go of the throttle. Can't really hear it til about 25 seconds in.
