normal temp we should see 190-200This temperature of about 200 degrees i posted was after a flush, new thermostat, new antifreeze and a brisk 2-3 mile run down the road and back home again. I dont think it would have stayed in this range on a typical day.........Tom

My 03 6.0 powerstroke f250 emits a "whoosh" sound during the key on, waiting for the heater element light to go out before you start the engine proceedure........Tom

It is very cold here in Kentucky so maybe the weather is causing this problem. I have a 03 6.0 powerstroke f-250 and the 4xlow will not engage nor will the light on the dash illuminate. The 4xhigh engages and illuminates on the dash just fine. The 4xlow worked fine in the field saturday. Does...

Yes i get heat now. Lower radiator hose is hot again, engine temp 190-210 deg. I did flush the engine although the coolant looked good (clean).. I was however a little concerned with the consistency ( thickness) of the coolant so i changed it with Ford and Internationals suggested coolant. Life...

Ford dealership ThermostatThanks for the input d-kuzmen. I installed this thermostat because i had no heat from the heater and the lower radiator hose was cold when engine temp was normal.......Tom

I'll attempt this flush tomorrow...Thank you......Tom

Drove the truck 3 miles after it warmed up. Both heater hoses are very warm but not hot to touch. There is no valve attached to either hose. At one end both hoses go into the firewall. At the other ends, one hose goes to top of front cover, left side of motor standing in front of motor, the...

My 6.0, 82,000 mile diesel truck is not a daily driver so i am blessed that it is only used to haul our small camper during the summer months. During a short 25 mile trip there was no heat in the cab. I played with the controls, listened to the vents open and close ( floor, front vents, defrost...

WoW! 97-04...That's a lot more than i ever imagined. I care less what the badge says so long it's white and dentless....Tom
