Re: Heater Problem

[jtrealty@xxxx]

Bleed the cooling system and make sure you have enough coolant in it. 
If you still don't get any heat feel the hoses going to the heater and 
see if they are cold. If they are cold look for a kinked hose, blocked 
heater core or stuck heater valve. If the engine never warms up are 
your fans runnng continuosly and maybe you have a missing or stuck 
open thermostat. Look at your temp gauge. It is bad to run a motor 
that never warms up. The heater valve is all the way in front of the 
motor and if you can find it you can move it by hand to see if it is 
stuck.
