Not the most mechanic savy.....how would you go about doing that?

 

remove the 2 coolant hoses from the thermostat housing, use a garden hose, attach it somehow to one of the hoses, turn the hose on, let the water flow through the system it'll push some crap out, then do it to the other hose to get anything that might've gotten caught, once the water run clear in both directions you can re-attach the hoses and fire it up, should fix your problem

 

im sure you all remember i got a ford ranger...well...+1 to the ranger. 3 screws 2 hoses and 10 minutes later the new core was in lol

 

if you look in the 4th picture i took and look for the light green wire thats all by itself on the top of the core housing, right under that metal bracket. Now do you see the shiny part of the black housing kinda looks like a long cylinder?

Right in between the green wire and that black part you can see a small shiny metal piece. There is a wire attached to that and when you turn your heat and cold one way that little wire moves the door open and closed, that little peice could be adjusted wrong, or broken.

 

Dang man, didn't realize how hard it was to get to those things. Looks like a lot of work.

 

I have a 2000 Neon that blows only lightly warmed air. I put a new thermostat in thinking that was the problem but to no avail. Do you really think flushing it might fix my lack of heat problem? It sucks in Utah without heat!

 

WOW......after seeing that 4th picture and after...id say **** THAT!!!!!!!


id love to try that but have the security of someone else to put it all back together

 

I finished it.

Everything went back together fine, and everything works, no leaks and blows damn good since i cleaned out the vents and crap.

No ratels, or nothing. Im happy. If i had to do it again, i would be able to do it in 8 hours or less. First time is a hoe.

Glad its over with... i didnt take any new pics i just wanted to finish it.. was sick of looking at it.
