Unhappy Burping the cooling system???

Hi, I have a 1997 Cherokee 6.0 and I keep reading that you should burp the
cooling system after a flush. How do I do that? Thanks

Heat on full blast with the compressor on, run the motor and fill the rad at the same time. Air bubbles will come to the top and the coolant level will go down. Keep filling until this stops.

Do you mean 4.0 I6?
