"Gurgling" noise on acceleration

When I accelerate I notice a gurgling noise coming from my Max. It seems to only happen when its warm and I have my A/C on as the last time I was going through this was last summer. So should I bleed the line (how?) or should I just go ahead and flush and refill?

thanks!

if we hold out long enough, it will eventually be time for all the pros to get home and see this thread. Then maybe we'll find out.

It sounds like you have air bubbles in cooling system. Burp the cooling system and see if that helps.
