    Note
    Make sure that the O-ring is removed with the coolant bottle.

Install

  1. Verify the o-ring at the bottom of the coolant bottle is properly seated, and then apply lubricant to the o-ring.
  2. Position the coolant bottle on the supermanifold, making sure the coolant bottle output is fully seated against the supermanifold coolant input.
  3. Install the screw that attaches the rear of the coolant bottle to the supermanifold.

      Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
      Note
      Make sure vehicle is not in Drive, shifting the vehicle into Drive will stop this routine. The test will last approximately 10 mins. The test will vary speeds from 3500-6500 RPM (idle speed = ~1500 RPM) and actuate the valve between series and parallel. If speed hovers at 7000 RPM, it indicates the pump is air locked, perform the vacuum fill again. Continue to add coolant and purge until the coolant level reaches between the NOM and MAX Lines on the bottle.
  17. Remove the fluid catcher from underneath the front of the vehicle.
  18. Install the front aero shield panel. See Panel - Aero Shield - Front (Remove and Replace).
  19. Install the underhood storage unit. See Underhood Storage Unit (Remove and Replace).
  20. Inspect the coolant level and top off as necessary, and then install the coolant bottle cap.
