1994 CHEVROLET TRUCK

1994 c1500, 4.3l eng, 128k miles, 2 wheel drive, silverado package, heavy duty towing package. Cut out cataiytic converter, put on duals with glass pack mufflers on duals. Have started loosing coolant. Problem did not show up till I put the duals on. Have slooshing sound in heater core, moisture coming ou both sides of exhaust left heaver than right. No coolant in oil or oil in the raditor. During winter or summer temp gage shows only about 80 degrees and hard to get heat during winter. Is it possible that the heater coree is clogged and is causing all my problems? : :( :(

The cooling system is nowhere associate with the exhaust system

Have you check the thermostat? If its completely closed you won't have anything in the heater core

probably the slooshing sound is boilover-you sure your temperature gauge is not misleading you-could be out of calibration.

Have the cooling system block and pressure tested-this will tell you something if its burning internally about heavy moisture coming out on one side.

Sounds like a blown headgasket
