Tristin Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 heater core Yep. Heater core could be leaky as well as the hoses. Quote Link to comment
mjja Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Okay thanks I changed the old hoses from the engine going Inside I guess I mustve moved something Quote Link to comment
mjja Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 If I block the two water lines to my heater core would it affect my truck like will it mess it up? Doing this just so I can drive around without leaking Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Nope, people bypass their heater cores all the time. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Blocking the hoses would be the same as shutting the temp switch down to OFF. Will not hurt anything. You may have a loose hose clamp but you may also have cracked or disturbed the solder connections by pulling the old hoses off. For what it's worth, always slit the hose lengthwise with a box cutter to remove them when replacing. Quote Link to comment
mjja Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thank you I apriciate the help!:) Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 yep. as mike says..be careful about taking off the hose, these pipes and or welds are very old.. Quote Link to comment
Dawa Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 i would never not have the hoses going to my heater core because i like the option of using that heater core as a second, emergency radiator if the heat ever climbs up. Quote Link to comment
