It finally got cold this week in KY

..and I don't have any heat in the lowrider

No problems with engine temp, so thermostat isn't stuck. Hoses are hooked up to the core. Below is a pic of the engine... only difference is that I moved the hose from the top of the intake on the pass side to the pass side port on the top of the water pump. Could that cause it? Could the heater control in the cab be the culprit??



Thanks,

Kenny

are the hoses hot? you also have to have one hose on one side of the thermostat and one hose on the other or you wont have consistant heat. and yes it did get cold this week in frankfort!

I'll feel 'em today.. I hadn't run the heat prior to moving the hose last week so I don't know. I moved the hose initially for cosmetic reasons to get it off the top of the motor and route it from below and behind the alternator to the water pump. We'll see.

Thanks!
