Anyone else low on coolant?

Mine often gurgles once stopped and shut off.

Every time I have checked my fluid, the rad was full, so just add fluid to the overflow tank. When cold, add to the cold line. I went a bit over that line at the beginning of this season and that is where it has finally stayed when checked cold.

Took a whole season (last season)to finally purge itself. This year it is staying full.
The gurgle is normal. That’s the cooling cycling for the turbo.

Always best to let them sit and idle before shutting off a turbo, it will cool the turbo enough and prevent boiling of the coolant coming out of it.

Absolute great point
When the big Dog eats it has to cool down
 
My bottle is empty and it's overheating and I can't figure out why.

What's the proper burping technique?
Some are losing coolant so better look into the problem.

For new engines when I first fire them up, I always put the front end in air(tank at highest point) which means the rear tunnel needs to be lower then tank, so all air will rise and burp out the tank/res....run engine to open thermostat and circulate coolant, keep adding til its at correct level.
