heater problem
Hi Robert,
Had a similar problem with mine. Replaced sporlans, pumps, hose and just about everything in between with no success. Finally, this past summer, was replacing my engine water pump and the gate valve that is attached to it. As it turned out the valve had "dropped" the gate and even though the handle was turning, the valve always stayed closed. According to a plumber I spoke with later, that will happen eventually from corrosion if you do not "exercise" the valves a few times each year. Have someone operate the summer/winter switch and also make sure that the chassis heat thermostat on your wall is set to 'heat' and the temp is set to 80 or so. There should be a "click" in each of the sporlans in your engine compartment when you alternate the switch from winter to summer on your upper dash. Also have someone operate the lower dash switch for "front heat" and check the "in-line" sporlan down by your air step that contols the front heater loop. As a last resort, try checking the gate valves in the engine compartment. I eventually replaced all of mine with 3/4" ball valves. No more problems with that dropped gate BS!
