Heater problem
1986 Other GMC Models 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive 128,00 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a gmc diesel 40 box truk (ISUZU) and the heater will not get hot, gets luke warm. I had checked the temp of the radiator fluid with a thermometer and after 7 miles of driving and then idling for 20 minutes the water was only 140 degrees. I also have over half the radiator covered with cardboard I opend the thermostat housing and tested that water and it was only 140 degrees also.. I then replaced the thermostat and still the same problem.

Hi there,

You may have a blocked heater core or a faulty heater tap that is not opening fully, check the flow through the heater core and the operation of the tap controller and the heater tap.
