[QUOTE="Stacy Waldrep, post: 1010233, member: 67695"] Vic, maybe you're right about debris not making it to the radiator but I find it hard to believe that if there's so much stuff in the system that the heater core is plugged that there wouldn't be any debris anywhere else. Maybe you're right though. I did already post stuff about the temps of the hoses. The upper radiator hose as well as both heater hoses get warm but not as hot as I think they should be. There isn't much difference in temp between the two heater hoses. The inlet hose may be slightly warmer but it's hard to tell. I looked at the ericthecarguy site and he said he thinks a clogged heater core is pretty low on the list of things to check if your heat isn't working. I've gone through a number of things on the list though so I may be getting down there. Both hoses are warm, not hot but warm, so I don't think it's plugged. I may try blowing it out anyway though unless someone can point me somewhere else. I wonder if the temperature blend door or the actuator can be partially working. I don't hear any clicking or other noise when I change the temp dial. It will go from cold to slightly warm and back when I turn the dial from cold to hot without any noise. I appreciate all the responses. [/QUOTE]
