    Make sure to burp the system. I had a problem of my SIII running hot until I burped it.

    The metal case (and therefore the mounting tab) is the ground for the stabilizer.

    The procedure is to run the engine with the rad cap off and heater valve open for a while so the flow of hot water brings any air up and out. Helps to have the front of the truck a bit higher than the back. At a shop near me they have a special radiator cap with a funnel on it to catch any fluid that expands out of the radiator, but as long as you keep your eye on it and keep topping it off you should have no problem.
