My heat is not hot
Hello all! So my Volkswagen diesel pumps out 115* heat from the vents, verified by many with thermometers. So perhaps I'm a bit spoiled by the heat output of my VW... but the heat on my OBS I can seriously have full blast and even after the truck is up to temp (somewhere between the O and R in "NORMAL") I wont even be considered "hot" after a road trip.
I'm thinking the radiator and heater core may need a good flushing, but is there something else that frequents these trucks? |
what thermostat does it have in it? i ask this knowing you have no idea. its made for a 203
|
Not a clue... how can I tell?
|
got me. i guess they might say on them. i'd have to go look at mine but the 203's are supposed to help a lot so i'm guessing you don't have a 203 BUT it wouldn't hurt to do some maintenance on the truck of course
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- oh and thermostat could be stuck open |
plugged core, low on fluid?
|
Why would the truck get up to temp then if the t stat was stuck open?
Fluid level is fine. I'm def wondering if it's a plugged core though.. |
Thats my guess, you can flush it out with your garden hose
|
i forgot about that detail. and is it dead in the middle? a little high? a little low?

I would guess you have a T-stat issue, try that first... Do you add the Anti corrosion additive to your truck ever?
Go down to Ford and get the FACTORY 195* stat and install it, do not buy into the hype for the 203* stat... Might look at flushing the system as well, and adding a coolant filter. You would be surprised how much crap a coolant filter will pick up! |
