Re: cold chevy s10
Hoses seem fine? Please elaborate- both need to be too hot to hold.
Does your truck have a water shut off/bypass valve on heater hoses? This could be stuck shut. Other than that, number one cause of "no heat" is loss of coolant- is there plenty in your radiator? No just checking the burp box-need to know if radiator is full. Temp door inside is the last place to look- only if both hoses are hot.

Re: cold chevy s10
How do i check the hoses to see if too hot to hold, i imagine the truck must be on and the a/c on as well
I don't know if there is a bypass/off valve on the heater hoses, what should they look like I didn't know the radiator could be empty, i just assumed that because the burp box as you call it is full the radiator is full as well. there is one other thing, there is a strange smell in the cab sometime, smells a little sweet and like something else but cant pin point it. however there is a film on the inner windshield and i wipe it and a couple days its back. could this be part of the problem and what should i do. Thank you for communicating with me on this. __________________ |

Leaking heater core or hose connection on the firewall.

Re: cold chevy s10
Their is a rubber drain tube the air conditioning systems drains condensate. The heater core is located next to the evaporator. If you have jack stands locate this hose. Place a big piece of cardboard under the firewall and passenger seat. Available free at a furniture store. Anti freeze leaves deposits depending on what type you use.
A hose fitting will be close to the firewall use a flashlight and look. |
