2late4u Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 well if it's the org thermostat i'd try replacing that at least you would eliminate that from list.i would assume if it was stuck open tho your engine temp would be showing that.

dodgpwr Posted November 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 I've flushed out the oil cooler and replaced the thermostat and managed to get a little heat but not on pass side.... blend doors are working fine.....heater core is most likely plugged....changing that 2moro.

jkeaton Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Oil cooler won’t affect the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Check out UTube. I saw a video of a guy changing his heater core and had a short cut you might want to take. His was an 09 w the V6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgpwr Posted November 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 The coolant runs thru the oil cooler so if it was plugged it would affect the flow.....i am using a short cut from a very close friend who's a mechanic.....its quite simple to do....if u very carefully open the crimps on the tubes u can move them aside and slide the core right out and retold the crimps back to the new one....u just change the seal that come with the new one and don't have to take the whole dash apart jkeaton and Scotty in NZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Thats close to what I saw. The guy cut the metal pipes and used a short piece of hose to connect the old pipes to the new core. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgpwr Posted November 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Just finished and there's plenty on heat.....i didn't have to cut and splice the lines with heater hose tho....my old fitting didn't fit the new heater core but was overall painless....heat is good on both sides of car after getting all the air out of the system OhareFred and 2late4u 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
