No heat and truck runs cold
So I thought it was the thermostat so I got a new 190 Tstat put it in, bled the system and still the same thing. There is no heat, blows cool air and the truck runs cold.Here is a picture so you can see exactly what temp its running at. I have an electric fan, and haven't had to turn it on in months. The weather is really cold up here and I really need the heat haha

it's possible the "new" Tstat is bad. My brother used to drill a couple of holes in his before putting it in. I really don't know what else it would be.. I'm not a mechanic but if you figure out something be sure to post it. Where do you live that is so cold ANTI Freeze is frozen?!
|
no the antifreeze didnt freeze... My garden hose which I was going to use to backflush my heater core was frozen solid so I couldn't do it. The tstat is good and the old one was as well :S I did the hot water, cold water test.
|
try a new heater core?
|
i'd like to see if its something else before I rip my dash apart
|
Have you found anything? buy a new garden hose and then try the flush?
|
Temp looks ok....I guess....numbers look funny LOL
Mine runs about in the same area. FLUSH THE CORE!!!! mine done the same and when I flushed it out I seen some crud but didnt think it was much,and noticed no differents in flo.the next drive....DAMN....had to roll down a window. unhook both heater hose and flush it back and forth several times. if your system is real dirty i would add a cleaning flush,flush the system and then do the core again seperate.
