1996 Silverado heater core troubleshooting help
I have a 96 Silverado 2500, I am having problems with the heat output. The temperature will rise to about 230-240 with no heat output at idle, when driving the temp will drop to normal and I get heat. I've changed the thermostat twice with no help. I'm thinking the heater core may have blockage. What say you?

Robak, I need to ask a couple questions/clarifications.
Are you saying that when you let it just idle, that it runs up to 230-240° just on it's own. That's rather high, should stabilize at about 195°.
Do you feel "any" air (warm or otherwise) coming out the outlets just sitting there ? Or is there no air at all being moved into the Cabin unless you start moving/driving ?

We're very glad you've resolved the problem, but...
One of the main objectives of this Forum, is the "exchange" of information.
Any chance you could post how your resolved it ?
It could be very helpful to someone who may experience the same problem.
