Re: No heat/Thermostat replaced
I have been following this thread and I have not heard one person mention the heater controls or the heater core. I use to have a 68 falcon and had no heat (luke warm) even after changing the thermostat. I disconnected the two hoses to the heater core and inserted the end of my pressure washer in and litely bumped the trigger a couple of times. Not enough to blow out the core, but enough to flush it. All kinds of crap came out and after that my heat had returned. Worth a try. Maybe the control in the heater box is not opening and letting the hot air out.

I did above. At the end. Easily missed since I tend to draw out my sentences. If the hoses are warm/hot then water is flowing and it almost has to be a control issue. No worries. Any method that verifies water can actually get through the heater core is another good step.

Well it looks like that was it. That stupid red connector behind the control box was off, only allowing the partial closing/opening of the flap. Pulled cable a bit, heat. So I got a new stat and coolant out of it anyway!!! SMH... Thanks for all the help guys.
