I'll try what you said. If I do what you said, the air should be out of the coolant system?

And an update. Since the rain is gone, I've noticed a leak. It seems pretty bad too. I haven't had a chance to get a good look under the car, but the fluid is dripping off of the transmission. I've looked near the radiator, thermostat, all my heater hoses, etc. and none of those are leaking. This leak didn't exist before the radiator, thermostat, etc. were installed either. Like I said, its dripping off of the transmission near the rear of the engine.
I think because of the leak, the thermostat isn't getting the necessary water and the fan aint coming on. Any ideas?

start it up, pop the hood and find the leak first before you blow the head gasket. thats the way to find the the quickest on the upper or lower hose, trust me a hole or crack can be hard to find. make sure you have someone watch the temp guage so you dont overheat it. if you will the system and you dont find the leak then it ma not be circling goos either.
