Here it is, 1995 bronco 351. had some coolant leaks in various places. Replaced the radiator, water pump, hoses, t-stat several times, clutch fan and a couple of leaking freeze plugs. Truck idles good, makes good power, runs very cool over short distances, once it starts to heat up I get no heat from the heater core but the temp gauge slowly climbs towards hot, let off the gas for a short time and the temp drops way down in the normal range. Almost acts like the water pressure at speed is holding the t-stat closed but like I said no heat through the heating system, any suggestions? Thanks
