A special thanks to "asskickn88" for his guideance and help. also a "WARM" thankyou to all of the folks here who helped out.<br /><br />What I've learned: <br />1) Blend flap-attacked to the temp knob by solid cable, deflects air either across the heater core or A/C core. <br />2) Use IR (infra-red)temp gun to see temp of hoses. This was asskickn88 idea.<br />3. Hoses to heater core ~$13 bucks-be careful. I removed hoses from heater core and back flushed. Didn't appear to be any problems or restrictions.<br /><br />Have no idea what fixed no heat problem....after putting everything back together, heater seems to be working FINE !!!! <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
