I am So Cold!!!!!!!!!
Hi everyone I have 2004 f350 with 147K miles and I am freezing. I know this has been talked about often; but I have not seen a common them expect for being under load or no load. I have not changed the thermostat but I think it might be a little more north. There is some type of flow control on the heater hose. How can I check this? Also is it needed. Yes up to this point I have been lucky; one IFM computer and that's is no other problems. The compute was replaced about two months ago.
Thank You

I can understand some pretty bad english, but I didn't catch any of that either.My advice for no heat
-Thermostat. You'll know its bad if your coolant temp gauge isn't rising.
-Simple fix... your coolant level is low. It should be at the MIN line when cold and pressure released from bottle.

Sorry must be brain freeze. I have no heat unless I am giving it throttle. Even then its not great. I have full level of coolant.
There is some kind of flow device on one of the heater hoses how can I check this or can this be removed.

Some trucks have a valve in the hose going to the heater core. I would think you can bypass that valve in your troubleshooting without much problem (although it may be in a fairly "hard-to-reach" location). While you have the valve out, you can check for "heater core plugging" by also disconnecting the return heater hose and running water or blowing air through the heater core.
