Default antigfreeze added.

The vehicle in question is a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer with a 5.3-liter 4spd auto, and it is the ext lt model. it was serviced by the previous owner three months ago. New radiator, new fan, new ECM, new thermostat, new water pump, and the top end was rebuilt, with the heads shaved. Just two days ago, i had the AC fixed. As I was driving back from getting the AC fixed, it kept overheating, so i bought a gallon of Dex-Cool, and after the engine cooled off, i added the whole gallon of antifreeze. i think it just had an air pocket in it. That remains to be seen..
