'71 Chevy C10 with no heat
My husband has a '71 C10 with no heat. He changed the radiator (it leaked) - changed the thermostat, heater core, water pump, flushed it - everything he could think of......heater still won't work. Is there anything he might not be thinking of to check?

Re: '71 Chevy C10 with no heat
Is the heat not working or the fans?

Re: '71 Chevy C10 with no heat
An air lock is often the problem when the heater fails to produce heat. It is necessary to "burp" the cooling system to get the last of the air out of it.

Heat exchange valve possibly not opening. Located on the passenger fender on my 72.

Re: '71 Chevy C10 with no heat
If the heater core was replaced the collection of a mouse nest should have been found. Don't these have a hot air flapper door? Maybe the door, cable, or control is broken not allowing the hot air flapper to open.

Re: '71 Chevy C10 with no heat
Thanks for all your replies - it turned out to be the only hose he didn't check. No mouse nests.....it's driven everyday (almost) no chance for any nest to be built.
