Heater Question

[ocsddep]

When you say you flushed the core did you actually flush the core or the cooling system. I ask as if there is gunk innthencore you have to flush it from the input to the return disconnected from the block. Sorry if this is obvious but I thought it worth asking. Getting no heat doesn't make sense if the core is running with hot water. Getting enough heat to cope with your environment is the debate above. I have a standard smith and it produces quite a bit of heat AFTER I flushed nearly solid gunk out of the core by using the technique above.

Good news! We have HEAT.. My mechanic said there was a lot of gunk that came out of it. He flushed with water and air and we also replaced the heater control valve because it was corroded. There is a lot of air coming out. I have a feeling it will be warm enough for those MI winters. I guess I will find out soon, unless I sell the truck first.

Glad it worked. I was astounded when I flushed mine what had accumulated to a nearly solid mass.
