Just did the blower motor swap in my CJ7, and you have to drain parts of
the radiator and unhook heater hoses, it says don't forget to burp the
radiator when finished. I would imagine that means getting all the air out,
but how does one do that?

Hook it up, start the motor, stop the motor, fill up the radiator again.
wash, rinse, repeat. You probably will have to check it one more time
after the engine warms up then cools down.

For the OP: If you don't get all the air out then the water/coolant won't
circulate and the temp will rise very high. If you've burped it once and
the temp stays normal then it's fine.

Wouldn't all the air in the system eventually work it's way out thru the
overflow system?
