Heat

I just put a new 180 thermostat in and now I dont seem to have any heat well maybe no is a harsh word not much is more like it. I just bought the truck and it might not have had any to begin with. Is the I-6 known for not much heat. Or is there something I can do to make some more heat.

is your system air bound remove a heater hose or put a flush tee into a heater hose then try to put in more coolant for some reason I-6 seem to get air bound when filling them up and need to be "burped" a low coolant level will cause a no-heat/low heat condition and because the heater core is a little higher than the radiator you wont see it

Capitalization and punctuation are important. They were invented for a reason.

I believe the recommended thermostat is a 192°

My 4.9 van heats great.

WOW we are a little sensitive about the whole grammer thing aren't we? Man sounds like my wife.
Thanks for the ideas to find more heat.

You should have put a period after "WOW" and capitalized "we". You misspelled "grammar".
Bet your wife's a lot better looking!

I came into this post because I have a similar problem....I will, however, look elsewhere because of the english teacher who is more interested in correct grammer than being helpful and considerate...hope you get your problem solved
