SOURCE: removing a heat-core

not only does the dash require removal,but you will also need to completely remove the hvac module assembly from the vehicle after the dash is out of the way. the module will have to be diassembled in order to replace the core.--hvac module removal will require ac refrigirant recovery and coolant replacement.--it sounds like a lot of work but should only take you about one good saturday if its your first time around the block.---good luck.

did it over heat before the therm? if not it is the wrong therm. Other than that you have to have a air pocket.

SOURCE: blowing cold air

I had the same problem that I just fix by flushing the heater core out with a hose.   take the two hoses off the fire wall and put the water to it and let flush.  my heater is putting out 150 dg. F  of hot air.   I'm so excited!  i will stay warm now.

Heater does not work

If you are getting air to the cabin, then you probably have a problem with the air dam that divides the air from the heater coil to the cabin. Most are vacuum operated and can fail on vaccum

What's your problem?I have a 1996 Chevrolet Suburban. The AC is blowing out hot air. I have had the truck for 6 years, every Summer its the same thing. The ac does not get cold, I take it to the m

To clarify - - if the truck has rear and heat, you have two heater cores and two evaporator cores. The evap cores carry the freon.
If the leak is in the evap core in the front, the price is probably right.

You are going to need to use a multimeter and have a professional test the relay voltages. This should probably only take an hour, make sure they have the proper electrical schematic for your vehicle year make and model.

No heat from my 1999 f150 heater hose hot on one side other is cold

is sounds like the heater core is clogged up. you can remove the heater hoses, not from the heater core ( the core fittings can be delicate) but from the other ends on the engine and flush it backwards( colder hose) to blow the gunk out, use low pressure air or low pressure water.
There is a potential downside to this, the gunk may be plugging up a leak. take out the gunk and you might have a leak. Also if you over pressurize you may spring a leak. But on the otherhand if you were going to replace the heater core any ways you got nothing to lose. By the way if you do damage the heater core just loop one of the hoses back to the engine fitting. this will keep you on the road until a proper repair can be made. watch out for gunk spraying out of the hose or wear a raincoat and goggles!

Heater not heating on 2002 suburban fan blows just does not heat up any ideas culd it be a relay switch

No, Relays control the fan running. But you said it is running. Low coolant level, clogged heater core or sticking temperature door could be the problem. Is the engine running at normal temp? Open thermostat could cause low temperature.

No heat

If it had dexcool orange coolant in it, the heater core is probably plugged, pull off the hoses and blow air through it, the dexcool breaks down and clogs everything. I had this problem a month ago and the core was plugged badly. Hope this helps

Heater blows cold air for 20min then blows hot

There are a few things that can cause this problem. Reason #1 a low coolant level can cause the heater core to receive less coolant flow hence causing the heat to come less quickly. reason #2 sticky heater control valve, if this control valve is stuck closed coolant cant enter the heater core hense wont heat up the cabin, reason #3 clogged heater core, over time some heater cores will clog up even sometimes start to leak in cabin. All these are normal circumstances and should be checked. Good luck

Heater blows out cold air when on the warm setting ,possibly a plugged heater core

yes this is very likely the problem, have you check your cooling system is it rusty? if so the heater core is plugged, take the inlet and outlet hoses off the core at firewall and use a garden hose to clear it, then have the cooling system flushed if rusty.
