The core is wide open. I have almost hot hoses on both sides of the core and with the truck sitting I had almost hot heat but the temp never cam up at all. The top radiator hose is hot and the bottom is cold. From what I could feel on the radiator it felt rather cold to me as well.

 

hot hoses = hot core should = heat in cabin.

diverter valves?

 

Yeah I tore the dash apart and everything seemed to be in working order from what I could see but I am wondering if the blend door acuator is actually bad.

I still don't understand why the temp won't come up unless its just a coincidence that these things just went bad at the same time.

 

ir temp the heater hoses and thats about the air temp should come out full on heat.

 

Yeah and thats not happening so I guess I will walk down and talk to my Porsche mechanic friends and see what they have to say as well

 

You could just be very lucky and have a bad temp sensor and blend door actuator at the same time, that's my kind of luck lol.

 

I hope so except I don't want to change the blend door lol!

 

The only input I can give you is if you have a good working tstat ( mine is a 180*), no air in your system and a good core and sensor, then like my truck, the heat should force you to open a window or shut it off. Mine blows so hot it gets stifling in the cab if I don't shut it off and crack a window. The gauge reads right at 180 no matter what the temp is outside ( currently it's 7*F ) after rising to about 200 and the tstat opening. I'd check the sensor if your tstat is good.

 

The worst part about the actuator is the cost and its best to have small fingers. My wife actually had fun helping me with mine lol.

 

Yeah its so much harder to get at in mine cause the glovebox is mounted higher and doesn't remove out of the way to get to it I guess I will just have to suck it up anyway!
