Check that the t'stat is not installed backward, as the water pressure will keep it from opening. Also make sure the water pump is pumping in the proper direction. Pumps for serpentine belts and v belts look the same but are made to work in the opposite direction.
There are no bleeder valves on the V6.

Fill the radiator up to the bottom of the filler neck. Fill the reservoir to the FULL COLD mark. Run engine with the radiator cap off. When the t'stat opens the level in the radiator will drop. Stop engine & add coolant directly to radiator. Repeat several time until level in radiator remains constant. Put radiator cap back on & you are ready to go. Of course, if you have other problems such as a blown gasket, or plugged radiator, the engine will continue to overheat.
