[DML] Re: no heat! (and no defrost!)

["thebrave65" <johnnysher1@xxxxxxx>]

That was probably me.  One of my pipe going into the heater core (the 
ones next to the fuel tank) was totally blocked with crap.  In fact, 
the fluid that ran out of the core looked new which tells me there 
was no circulation.

I was in the process of flushing the system and replacing the 
radiator and decided to take a look at the heater problem while I was 
at it.

I ended up using a wire hanger to clear the pipe.  Plenty of heat now.
