Heater Problems Benji Miller 12-16-07  
I have a 94 Ford Ranger and it will not reach normal operating temp. I have replaced the thermastat and cooling levels are o.k. What is the next step to curing this problem?
Re: Heater Problems Alan 12-16-07  
Well, did you try flushing your hoses? they might be clogged. Make sure to backflush too. If that doesn't work, it might be the pump or heater core.

Does the top radiator hose get warm/hot? Does it over heat if driven in city? If the hose is not hot it might be the pump.

The hose can get hot but if it's clogged it won't heat up all the way or at all. Just give it a shot and see what happens...

It sounds to me as if you are trying to cure a cold run problem. Is it cold on the guage or cold from the heater. Basicly if it warms up at all and you have good heat inside the cab the guage system is suspect. If its cold on guage and heater temp a new bad t stat is probable. Especialy with the junk a lot of parts stores are selling lately. I was going through 1 a mont 2 winters ago untill I found a supplier selling a good quality product. And it was not anyone you ever saw advertised on TV. Last ford is notorious for air locking heater cores. Good Luck
