RE: Heater Hose Hook Up

[Don Owen <d4owe9@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Cory, thanks so much.
Yeah I must have had the hoses hooked up right because the heater was certainly blowing hot air.
I will re-check the heater hoses but the dreaded correct Corbin clamps were tight and I put some gasket cement on the fittings
just to be on the safe side. Plus, there is no sign of any coolant leakage on the firewall side of those connections...its on the
dash side coming from somewhere on the heater valve or core, or so it seems. REally don't want to pul that SOB back out of there but that's probably where we're goin' on this one!
Thanks again, Donny

> Hey Donny,
> Sounds to me like you have either a loose hose clamp or your heater core is pooched. I know from experience that reversed heater hoses will only affect the air that comes out of your vent (hot or cold). Why do I sound so confident you ask? Well It's happened to me three times. It's pretty easy to get them mixed up if you're not paying attention and are in a hurry.
