Im not sure what you mean by (Still getting air) are you having to bleed the
air from the pressure cap to keep the coolant level light out? The cooling
system will draw in air from any place it can as the engine cools down. This
can be as something like a loose clamp or a heater core that leaks Do you
keep the overflow bottle full and is th hose to the bottle tight

The van is not going to Back from the Dead- Bob Goodwin 30 years exp.
factory trained is working on her. He says there is nothing wrong with her.
He is the one who replaced the head gaskets and put NEW heads on last May. I
have driven about 18,000 miles since then- entire cooling system has been
replaced including radiator. Still getting air. he is not driving the van on
the freeway which is the only place that I have a problem. It was actually
fixed for awhile but have been battling this problem for a couple of months
now. Thought the problems came back cause of  a leaky radiator, but replaced
it & still getting air / only on extended high speed  over 60 for 30 minutes
or so especially if in the mountains. But NOT OVERHEATING, if it were the
head or head gasket wouldn't it overheat.  Any cooling gurus out there with
any insight?
