Do what I do mate. Get a 1.5lt mineral water bottle, cut the bottom off it, stick the neck into the rad opening where the rad cap goes, get some electrical tape and tape it into position so that it's like a big funnel. Then fill the system until half the bottle if full of coolant. Then run the truck for half an hour until at operating temp. You will see all the air bubbles coming out into the bottle.

When you see no more and it's nice and hot, shut down and let cool. It will suck the coolant back in as it cools. Then just put rad cap back on and hook up the expansion tank. Job done.
