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?

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

Ya thats what I was figuring to do. Too bad it's 15 damn degrees here lately. Ugg.
No it's def not dead in the middle... it's on the OR portion of NORMAL, if you can picture that?

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!
