Question about bleeding air from coolant system

I have a 1996 F250 5.8L. I just replaced the thermostat and I'm wondering how to bleed the coolant. There is a small red cap that is on a rail next to the radiator. When I take it off I hear air coming out. Is this part of the coolant system? Thanks for the help.
