You are THE MAN!! Haven't had heat in our Ford F150 in like 10 years. Your video popped up in my KZfaq feed. My husband watched it, did what you said and it worked beautifully!! I have heat in my truck again! Can't thank you enough fir this video! Was easy, and only cost us about $65 for hose, coolant, cleaner and a radiator flush kit! Couldn't be happier! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The heat hasn't worked in my 2005 Ford F150 pickup in years. Haven't wanted to spend the money to have the hearer core replaced. Going to show thus video to my husband so we can try this! I'm sick of not having a defroster, nor heat, in the colder months. Thanks for this super easy solution!

Great video - followed every step and it worked. My 2003 Chevy Tahoe is blowing hot again! My only problem was both hoses felt equally hot, so I couldn't tell outlet vs inlet. I checked a few other videos and found one that said that the outlet is normally higher to allow for hot air to rise out of the system; that worked for me. Anyway, loved watching your video; great no nonsense style. You are the King!

Interesting way of cleaning out the heater core. Thanks for the novel approach that directly cleans the heater core. Myself I would take the drain hose and hold it up. Then mix the cleaner and hot water and let the chemicals sit in the heater core for maybe 10 minutes. Then drain the heater core. Then drain & repeat as needed. Thanks for the new trick!

You can reverse the coolant flow thru the heater core to quickly get heat. Use the engine to clear the blockage. I use a remote Oil filter Relocation kit as a coolant filter on the inlet side, going thru the filter then to the heater core. It catches the gunk that stops up the core and clears it from your coolant. You might have to change filters often at first for a real dirty system, but it pays for itself very quickly. I use this on my 1999 Ford Ranger with 213000 miles (2.5. L4 Engine). BTW I live in Southeastern Kentucky

A little update a year later. The problem has come back, so my advice when you are doing this for the firsr time is to use low pressure compressed air in borh tubes after doing this proceedure to make sure the core is totally open.

I replaced the radiator, but the heat wouldn't come on. That stop leak mess clogged up my heater coil. So that's why I tried this, and now my heat is feeling really good.

Have recently become a first year Automotive Tech Apprentice and the knowledge I've gained from your videos have given me a boost going into the trade. Big fan, will be sending you a plate soon. Another thing I've found involving that stop leak stuff is sometimes it clogs up the thermostat and holds it open which causes lower than normal temp through the vents as well. Cheers Brian!

Hi, both my heater core hoses in my car are hot, but still the heater is only OK on first blower setting, if I set it to blow faster the air is lukewarm or even cold. Could there be a chance the heater core is a bit plugged. The coolant is nice and red on expectation in the cooling tank. The car is not driven a lot, especially in the summer it stays parked a lot. Thank you for any advice!

I'm glad you mentioned to not use stop leak. People don't realize those cheap "fixes" either don't do anything, or they cause more damage than before. I have a million idiots bring their car to our shop and wonder why their injectors are bad because they ran injector cleaner in their gas tank. They don't realize it doesn't work. It is common sense that if it is safe for your plastic gas tank, it isn't going to eat carbon. Anyways, on-topic, as a last resort for a customer that flushing didn't work because it was so blocked, knowing I was going to have to replace it anyways, I put a low pressure heated pressure-washer to one end and that was enough to break the blockage without rupturing the heatercore. Just a thought as a last resort especially if it doesn't work or breaks the heatercore, you had to go in and do it anyways.

There are service manuals and TSB that beg to differ, On some Cadillacs and other aluminum blocks it says to ACDelco cooling system tablets (which are Bars stop leak tablets according to MSDS) and on the trucks that had issues with the fuel sending unit they say to use ACDelco complete fuel system cleaner (Chevron according to MSDS) and ACDelco injector cleaner (also Chevron) on injectors and ACDelco fogger (forgot what brand it really is) on the carbon buildup Using a pressure washer with either a soap tip or no tip at all on the gun works about the same as a pulsating cooling system cleaner (and surprisingly enough cost about the same)

Thank you Chris.... I think that might be my problem after I went and bought and replaced my blend door actuator and still have the same problem... blowing warm on one side and cold on the other side...I'm gonna try the flushing method.... thanks for your knowledge and time.

Hey Bobby. I got the same hot driver, cold passenger heater temp problem after attempting to resolve an overheat problem. 2010 Subaru Impreza outback sport hatchback, 150k miles. Coolant was way too old, so flushed, added conditioner and subaru coolant and new thermostat. Burped. Vehicle still overheated but also the hot driver, cold passenger heater problem began. -10 January in Iowa. No good! The top radiator hose is Hot. The bottom radiator hose was quite cold. Figure the thermostat was good since new OEM so started to focus on water pump. Its not a hard job but not easy either. Sooo, i researched heater cores and figured that would be a cheaper easier thing to fix. Flushed the heater core with water, did get some fine sediment but nothing major. Current status? Car goes a 100mph for a hour, doesn't overheat, but the top rad hose is hot, bottom rad hose is cool, heater core inlet hot, heater core outlet warm.....and still the darn driver heat is hot, and passenger side cold. Just don't make sense to me. So, my question for you, the blend door actuator, did you do it yourself and did it solve the hot cold heater issue? Heater core replacement looks like a huge pain in the rear. So my next steps are: change cabin air filter, use an actual flush product with hot water on the heater core both ways several times. That don't work, change the water pump. Id sure like to do the actuator door first but havent found a single video after days of searching.

Hi Brian. Thanks a lot for posting this as you give me hope to fix my plugged heater core. I cannot find the heater core hose from the auto part store. Where did you buy yours and what is the diameter of the hose. Just making sure I dont order one that wont fit. Thanks in advance

Every auto store has heater core hose. Most vehicle require 5/8". The store will cut length you want. Call before you go tell them what vehicle you need it for
