Re: Need more heat
well I managed to blow my 10-month-old heater core Friday evening, was on my way to look at some V6 Ranger to buy for a DD and I just had to "race" the chick with a Mustang that happened to be driving next to me, got up to 4k and when I shifted into 2nd I could smell coolant in the cab, sure enough by the time I find a place to pull over there was a lil puddle on the floorboard - bypassed the core, said screw it with the Ranger, headed to feed my friend's cats, stopped by AutoZone and picked up a new core for free (still under warranty), got home and installed it in less than an hour! This time I put back the restrictor washer I removed some time ago, should keep the darn thing from ballooning under high rpms.

Re: Need more heat
i'm having a similar problem myself. with the truck warmed up, i turn the fan above medium otherwise the heater seems to use the heat up after 10-15 seconds and then blows nothing but cold. would changing to a higher thermostat fix this. my water gauge doesn't go over a 1/4 with my heater on.
don't mean to hijack.
