Thermostat issue
So long story short I swapped the blown stock rad for a new x2 row unit....then I noticed the truck temp gauge wouldn't move....so I thought stat....I am guessing as to this is where the stat would be located? But there wasn't one.....am I in the right spot?

Re: Thermostat issue
Is it still stuck in the manifold? It usually sticks to one or the other.

Re: Thermostat issue
Previous owner could have removed it instead of replacing it?

Re: Thermostat issue
Must have....well new problem....now that I installed a new tstat.....I topped the rad off with fluid....started her up and.........fluid started pouring out by what I'm guessing is the heater core? The blk box on the pass side with the heat stuff on it....I can't really see where it's leaking out but that's the general location...... So I guess I'm effed for now til I find out how to replace or just delete it all together....what do you suggest? I just bought this thing and I'm really getting down on it now...

Re: Thermostat issue
Sounds like a heater core. Should be able to do a google search & come up with a video or post showing how to replace.
Shouldn't be expensive just a little time consuming.

Re: Thermostat issue
Its the heater core. 22 bucks pop out the glove box. It'll take you maybe 20 minutes.
Re: Thermostat issue
If you putting on a Tstat caused the core to blow maybe it's not just your core but a cloves system and poor tubing.. I reccomend going over the tubing for rot or cracks and a flush before installing .
Re: Thermostat issue
*** whole system *** not clove

Re: Thermostat issue
just bypass/ (delete) the heater core for now.....to test
the two hoses that run above the AC/heater blower into the fire wall right below the hood hinge/ mount bolts on firewall. Just pull the holes and connect then to each other it will finish the loop and bypass the heater core and help you find any issue for now.
