Hey oil burners!
Been awhile since my last visit, but have a mystery issue going on.
So my heater core goes out about 9 months ago..... easy sneezy repair, takes me longer to fret over it than do the repair, less than an hour.
About a month ago, the new one from Napa goes out again, replaced with another, not happy about it, and this morning, I'm getting coolant smell and fog out of my window defroster again. Third time in less than a year..... beginning to regret how handy I felt replacing this in such short order both times.
Both times I cycled the heating system while it was cold, tried to bleed out the potential air entrapment, but really, the water moves so good in this truck, runs very cold even when hot, I don't think it's a steam issue.
What did I do wrong?
Or is this just cheap crap I'm buying??
