problem: no heat
so right away i swap out the thermostat for a new one, top up the coolant, bleed the system and take the truck for a run to road test .. still poor heat .. i resign myself to a heater core swap in my FRIGID barn and go to check the tranny fluid level on an unrelated issue .. i get out of the truck, the hood is still down and through my wooly winter hat i can hear a rush of air from the cowl area .. i pop the wiper arms and yank the cowl cover and there's a monster air draw through the cowl vent that goes inside the cab on the passenger side .. clearly the vent door is stuck open and diluting the hot air from the heater core
ok .. so i get under the dash and with a flashlight in one hand and the other working the heater controls i try to find the vent door control to no avail
guys it is insanely cold up here in central ontario .. can anyone offer me any advice or point me in the right direction to get this vent issue resolved and save me from a frosty death ?? please and thanks
edit .. all my searching just keeps turning up snorkle writeups
