I actually put a swivel socket on it, I could have eventually gotten it, but the length of my extension was meh........ sun is going down.

At first I was doing it with the cap off, but now I have been warming it up with the cap on and the bleeder screw open and all I am getting is hot as hell steam on the bleeder screw and still a cold lower hose. If it is like it should be (just the bleeder screw open when will the dme open the thermostat? The temp gauge is dead center and the heat will burn you out of the truck.
