@emorth He wanted to bleed the system not drain it. @afgman786 you didn't mention what engine and what year. If you can safely remove one of the heater hoses and let it hang while you fill up the cooling system wait until coolant comes out of the hose that should bleed most of the air.
Maybe just a new eye glass prescription would help.

Fill the rad and expansion tank with coolant and h2o or pre mix, leave the rad cap off, turn the heater to high and the fan, run the truck and he'll see when the thermo opens (coolant goes down) and start adding coolant to the rad as it runs and fills up. Squeeze the top rad hose as well intermittently, to ensure you are getting the air bubbles out.

So also noticed I'm rubbing at full lock. Heard it a few times after URE and never got a chance to look at it till this morning...

Q
Cut it out, or push it in, or let it self clearance. Not a biggie.

I'm more so curious if something got misaligned.. if these tiny tires are rubbing now I'll really be screwed with 33s. And I'm supposed to clear 33s no issue on stock setup

No worries man, I think it was 87 when they had the first V6 in the 1st Gen. T4R, I want to find a good one that I could play with the top off.
Put the rear 4.88 gear diff with a Lock right locker, new bearings, and seals. Ordered socked headed cap screws for the heavy duty diff cover.
Then onto the front. I have pulled the 4.88 diff and will need to drill new drive shaft holes. But should be a lot quicker than the rear.
I forgot to add I’m also going to replace the oil pan gasket and hope to finish my hydro assist steering.

Figure I would post a follow up to this for all who care, and for those who don't, keep reading anyways
Looks like the shop is honest and it is in fact the cat converter and not the trans that is having a problem. Whether or not they would have tried to sell a transmission replacement had I not picked the brains of 'mud is speculation at this point.
Irregardless, it makes me thankful to be part of the 'mud community, where I can seek input from those (@OTRAMM) much smarter than I in the world of automotive repair. Can't thank you all enough. Plan is to get the car tomorrow.
I think "brains of 'mud" would be a cool band name. I can play drums....
I had some quarter panels made for my latest project. 3/16 rolled corner not made with a brake, so they will follow the body lines without all the notches. I also made some rockers as well.
What do you think?

Nice! Had I known you were doing that, I would have pitched in for a set as well.
I've been eyeing up the Bud Built ones for a while, bit never pulled the trigger.
How much would a set go for, hypothetically, of course?
They look awesome! And by the way those wheels look familiar...………..
