Thats awsome! Just was curious I have the same low heat issue.. and was wondering about swapping the hoses, I'm going to flush the hoses first.. seems these trucks all have the same defects.. and makes me wonder why Crapler lever recalled...

I someone can answer quickly im searching online right now.. darn internet only wants to show you links to buy something..

Need to know.. what is the inlet and what is the outlet?

Currently.. the hose coming from the side of the water pump? is going to the bottom..

The top is going around the engine to besides the thermostat...

What is the correct hookup?

What engine? 5.2? The hose coming off the intake manifold goes to the heater inlet. The hose going to the water pump is the heater outlet.

Then the top is the inlet and the bottom is the outlet.
