Charboucher Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 is it possible to have cavatation in water pump, so that thermostat rises to 180(on after market gauge) and stock gauge, and stays there, BUT my heater and defrost never heat up now. lower radiator hose does NOT collapse either so I'm trying to figure out whats going on. not losing any fluid though either. so, there ya go.:confused: Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 the simple solution would say the hot water is not getting to your heater core. Check the hoses on the heater core (bypassed?) and that valve that is supposed to move with the arm that says HOT and COLD. It is probably stuck closed. These items are all in the cab of the truck.

Charboucher Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 cool, I'll check the lever. It used to get hot and it just stopped working one day so i thought it was kinda strange. I'll see if the lever is stuck or I guess rather, the valve might be stuck. never heard of that happening but I'll try it out. thanks Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 If the temperature lever feels really easy to move the cable end probably came off. Had thsi happen OFTEN. The valve gets stuck and the cable comes off. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 My cable came out of the clip that held it so it would move, but not actuate the lever... Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Mine did the exact same thing, the cable came off when the valve was half open so everyday it felt like less and less heat was coming out... Maybe it was because every day was deeper into winter :D The boys reminded me about the valve. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment
Charboucher Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 !, nice! I checked it out about an hour agon and thats what it was. the clip in not holding, so I moved it back to open position by hand, and then set the wire in the little hole. thanks guys! Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 yeah none of my "switches" work at all.. my heaters wired up with a on off toggle and i manually positioned the levers Quote Link to comment
Charboucher Posted April 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 man I must be lucky. all my switches are workking, including the seatbelt buzzer, and dimmer switch, and lights that are in the switches. ^_^ Quote Link to comment
datsun76_620 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 man I must be lucky. all my switches are workking, including the seatbelt buzzer, and dimmer switch, and lights that are in the switches. ^_^ Not too sure if you realize...but those lights in the switches are "state of the art"!!!....a new concept of transmitting light over a wire called: FIBEROPTICS !!!:D Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 yeah that shit dont work in mine.. oh well.. haha Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 True. My new '76 B 210 had this and I thought the stiff black thing was the electrical wire until I pulled it out and looked. There was one bulb in a container with four or five 'wires' going to the switches and the ash tray. 'state of the art' now we have LEDs do you see the light? DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT??....
