80/90 Coupe Heater

[Andrew Lundy]

I used to own a high mileage truck that took FOREVER to get any decent about
of heat into the cab.  I thought I was going to have to replace the heater
core but I wasn't getting a "foggy" windshield so it wasn't giving any signs
the heater core was bad.

As a last ditch effort I had the local shop flush the radiator for me!!
After I got it back it was much better at heating...although I traded the
truck two months later on my 95 90Q!!  I did make a HUGE difference!!!

You might want to give this try before replacing the heater core(if it comes
to that)......as long as the inside of the windshield isn't "fogging" up
when you use your heat.  That's a sure sign that the heater core is on it's
way out!!
