I think I'm missing something with the heating in my truck, if someone could advise me? It's a 2.4L pickup, 1995 reg'd.
It takes for ever to get any heat out of the heater, about 5-6 miles at least, and even after a long time it's not very powerful. The engine runs well, and I drive it about 30 miles each way to work every day. I bought the truck in October last year, had to get the rad recored in November, so I don't really know if it did it before the new rad. It doesn't overheat, in fact the temp needle rarely makes it far from the cold end. I've checked the water level in the rad and the bottle, both are fine.
What next? Or are they all like this? Is there something I haven't done to get some air out or something? Would it not work its own way out by now?
