i drive it around and it gets pretty warm, it actually gets pretty warm when i just start it up and let it idle. im sure there is air in the system, but there is not radiator cap, just the cap on the coolant fill tank...would that help release some of the air in the syster? should i raise the front end as well? thanks

If you are getting plenty of hot air coming out of the vents when the heater is on then you don't have air in the cooling system.
