Fixing previous rigging.

As my screen name suggests, I am a mechanic for a landscaping company. We just bought a competing company out and we're working our way through their stuff. Our current project is a 1996 F-350 5.8L automatic RWD. Got the thing running quite well (should have seen it when we got it... ). Only issue we're having now is we'd like to hook up the heater (was disconnected for whatever reason by previous company). Can someone post up a picture of the hoses needed? Basically anything that wasn't vital to making the truck not overheat was removed so we are trying to piece it back together with no real clue what is missing. Seems like every time we fix one thing it turns out there are four other pieces missing. Thanks in advance.

A disconnected heater many times means a leaking heater core.

Do you have the heater core connections hanging out of the firewall?

You should have corresponding connections on the water pump.

I'd test that core with a hose first....

Congrats on fixing the mess btw. Good luck with it.

Tested core with both water and air. Could not find any leaks with either.

Ended up figuring out through a ton of google searches what was missing. Ended up making the line. It's not pretty, but at least it's hooked up now...
