The air will not work its way out and can damage the motor. If you can take the radiator cap off and run the truck up to temperature, takes about an hour, maybe the air pocket will work its way out. Smart thing to do is get this into a shop that has a vacuum pump, drain the coolant and refill using the pump. If you have a compressor, you can purchase an Airlift Kit from Amazon, which would be the smart thing to do, use it in your maintenance program, it is a good tool to have. Actually a must have, and will pay for itself on the first use. I have a small 90 psi Lowes air compressor, it does the job. I had to purchase longer hose, bought hose at Home Depot. Here is the kit I use... https://amzn.to/2Hbx7h2

Here is the coolant bottle adapter for the ProStar, it is the same one that Snap-On sells. I have no clue which truck you have, so you will need to look up your model of truck. I called one of the mechanics I know at the international dealer, he gave me the correct Snap-On part number and I crossed referenced with Stant.

I would purchase all of the above, I use all of this yearly, much easier to do myself, and a helluva a lot cheaper than the stealership.
