super99 said: (quoted from post at 17:29:52 12/05/09) I drove it up the the new showgrounds for a workday today(70 miles 1 way). Wife was at work, so I took her meat thermometer with me( Don't tell her that!), I put it in the defroster vent and ran the fan on medium. Checked it several times, 110 degrees. I got warm about 9 miles before I got there, so I turned off the fan and check it a little later, 140 degrees. So I'm guessing the heater core is plugged. BUT, with the radiator completely covered with cardboard, the temp guage never got above about 160. Guess I'll try a new thermostat and a heater core flush and see if it helps. Thanks, Chris
I'd put another new thermostat in to be sure,then unless you're in Alaska(minus 40 ,etc.)get rid of the cardboard....
The heater core doesn't have to be plugged to mess up,there is a baffle in the end where the hoses are to make sure water flows through it.If this breaks or has a hole in it you will not get much heat either.
