Blew upper radiator /cooling system
I blew my upper radiator hose. I have replaced it. I bought 2 gallons of Xerex anti-freeze, poured in 1 1/2 gallons and a bottle of Lucas cooling. I started the truck up and waited for water level to drop, never has...truck is at 210 or so, and I see very little if any water flow...Any thoughts?
About a year ago I replaced the thermostat and water pump, and at that time also had very little water flow. I thought it was the system, but I know it should hold more than 6 quarts of water/anti-freeze............Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am already bald, but I am seriously about to pull out the stubble
BTW, I have been running the truck with the heater on..I have tried burping it, but I get very little out of it, if any..
Thanks,
Mike

I think the fan clutch is good. I burped it on level ground, I bought the tstat at NAPA, and as for the blown head gasket, I think the truck runs way to good for that. I hope and pray its not a blown head gasket...how much water flow should I see? I really doesn't move much at all. If I rev it up to about 2500 and then let it idle, I see movement, but other than that, it looks like a pond
