I DID IT!!!!!!!! WOOO HOOO I have heat!
one more back flush was all it needed. I disconnected the line at the heater core. The metal line on the driver's side fire wall. It goes from the heater core to a T that goes to the thermostat. It probably would be easier to hook a hose right at the thermostat line and pinch off the bypass which is the other line at that T. Take the water reserve cap off. Put your hand over the spot you disconnected the line from to hook the hose to. You'll need
to buy a hose connect with a nipple to sleev into the hose. Let it flow. Brown water should flow out of the reserve.
Mind you the initial problem was the water pump. The impeller was completely
gone due to rust. The motor had only a 100,000 miles on it. Replaced the water
pump and had good heat for about a month. I guess the crap from the impeller was slowly clogging the heater
core again. Because I had flushed before
I did the pump and got nothin'. It was definitely the pump then it was definitely the core.
Oh ya a good way to know if it's your blend door actuator or not with out tearing it all apart like I did.... Drive down the road doing 65 turn your control from all the way hot to all the way cold. If it changes from mildly cold to Arctic wind cold it's probably not the actuator. If there is no change at all it could be. Good luck!!!!!! |
