It could be low on coolant or a bad or stuck thermostat. This thermostat is usually located internally under and inside I have a 2000 Chevy - electricdime.gifthe top large coolant hose coming from the radiator and retained by three bolts. There is a spring on the thermostat that opens up to let the water flow through the engine. If it is not opening this could be your problem.

2000 Chevy Silverado LS 2wd 4.8 V8. Can't flush the heater core?

Question edited for clarity and typo, and add maker.
Question moved to model category.

The AC evaporator core and the heating core are normally two separate items. It is unlikely that the heater core is completely clogged. There must be a valve in your flushing circuit.

My rear brakes are getting way too hot on my 2000 Chevy Silverado. What could be causing this? I just replaced the brake pads and rotors. The back brakes seem to be seizing up and I can't figure out why.

This year of truck did have issues with rear disc brakes. Quality of pads is extremely critical. Go with the AC Delco pads and rotors to eleviate some of the issue. Make sure that the slide pins are liberally lubricated and move freely or drag will cause excessive heat to occur. Let me know if you need anything else.

I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado pickup, and the heater will not blow hot air. I replaced the thermostat, and nothing changed. The radiator was flushed and filled in the last two months as well. I have all...

once truck is warm check both heater core hoses to make sure they are both warm if not then check the cold water valve could be stuck shut not allowing coolant to travel in to heater core.

I have a heater core leak on my 2000 chevy silverado V6, is there an easy fix?

You can bypass the heater core, you just wont have heat anymore. On the firewall of the truck, behind the engine, you will see 2 rubber heater hoses that go into the firewall. They attach to the heater core. Disconnect them and get a plastic connector, and connect the 2 hoses together with clamps to hold them down. This will stop coolant from going into the heater core, and no more leak.

Heater fuse

On the inside of the panel that you take off to get to the fusebox there should be a diagram listing what each fuse controls. Try that and see if it works. If not a chevy dealer can always help you
