replacing the radiator - need help

Hey guys/gals,
i just replaced my radiator which was real easy but it doesnt seem to be working. temp gauge still running hot and the heater is blowing cold air!
did i miss something? do i need to bleed the coolant system? if so, what are the steps in doing that? any and all feed back is needed.
Thanks

Yes, you have to "burp" or bleed the cooling system after a service. This is very important to remove the trapped air. There is info on the procedure on NASIOC, Scoobymods and presumably here as well, a bit of searching should turn up what you need.
