@Senile_Texas_Aggie . Heater core was flushed last year as we thought it was clogged. There is a very fine film on the windshield sometimes, son said that it had a very small leak in it probably. This fall it all of a sudden has the film again, and even if it is clogged again... after 295,000 miles it just needs to be replaced. Time to put a little back into this truck because really, I have done very little other than the normal maintenance for the truck. The garage that did the brake line said that the radiator was not holding pressure and needed to be replaced. Yet we cannot find any leak and it is holding water and the pressure thing that ds did said it was okay. He says that if it is losing a little liquid through the heater core, then it will sometimes show up as losing pressure. And the first thing I did was check the water levels to see if it was low as that will translate to no heat too. Water has been holding pretty much... and I do think it might be clogged.... but time to just put a new one in and flush the radiator out good. Do the clutch/pressure plate/ throwout bearing, and the slave cylinder while in there....Got the spring done, so ought to fix a few other things. Beats a new vehicle!!!! No big payments either.
But thanks for the suggestion.....
Going to be cold tonight. Supposed to be in the mid 20's. Wind is still blowing but not as hard as earlier. Will be glad when this front passes through. I was set to leave before and then got researching some stuff and here I am back.
