    Wow... I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab with what looks to be the exact issue. The hose on the right is hot, the hose on the left, ice cold. Two years ago I had issues and thought it was something else. I replaced the thermostat and when that didn't resolve the issue, I fell victim to the "pull the HVAC fuse" thing to recalibrate the actuators. For some reason, the heat started working as expected. Here we are again 2 years later with the same issue. I'm convinced this has something to do with the heater core OR the hoses at this point. I'm "hoping" there is a clog in the hose. and not an issue with the core itself. Will look to flush this thing out and provide an update. Great work explaining the primary issue you were having.

    That same hose isn’t really hot on my that’s after diving to work. Just barely warm air. My actuator for recirculating air is broke making that clicking sound. I managed to get my hand in there to unplug it. Just get fresh air setting now. Water pump and thermostat fairly new. Going to check the hoses for sure. Thanks for this video. It also confirmed what I suspected the temp actuator.

    I have a 2000 Silverado LT with the 5.3 motor and The A/C works great . But starting last year the Heat stopped working . I looked at the 2 actuators on the bottom and they both seem to work . I didn't know about the 3rd one behind the glove box but it seems to be working as well . The Local shop wants $ 150.00 to FLUSH the Heater Core . I would do it myself but I don't have anyplace to work on it . I had a New Water Pump put on it 4 years ago . That shop is now Closed (they got a Class action Lawsuit againest them for Shawdy Work . LOng story . All I needed was a new water pump and a belt . They said they did that and without asking put two new Idaler Pullys on it , A new Fan Clutch and Fan and Oh Ya a New Alternator and my $ 350.00 bill ended up at $ 1785.00 . In the lawsuit I got all but $ 235.00 back . I miss having my own shop ...

Will i have enough room to split the HVAC Box open if i do it the same way as you did in the Yukon heater core replacement video you did?

    Brother ive not actually flushed mine yet but from watching this video id say ill have it working tomorrow but id have to say i couldve watched this even if i didnt have an issue at all,😂😂😂😂. Ill update this tomorrow and let you know if it werks. Im sure ill have to replace an actuator also because I get air movement through events from my heater but it’s like my defrost. Don’t get much movement at all so I’m sure I’ll have to replace an actuator also but I definitely say it’s my Hosier heater. Cord is clogged just keeping me from getting good heat. We used to temp Gunn on my hoses and one line was half of thedegree is the other one I think my one hose was running just say 90 and the other one was running probably about 30 something degrees so yeah I’ll update this and let her know how it goes.

    I want to buy you a beer. Couldn't get any heat to blow, so after watching your video here, I felt my heater lines, and they both seemed hot...well, one was hotter than the other, but I separated them anyway. Pulled the two blend motors I could reach, and they seemed to work just fine. I go back into the engine and notice that one is hot while the other is mild. Long story short, I was over a gallon low on antifreeze, which explained why when I was driving, the heater worked. It just didn't work while sitting idle. Anyway, thank you again. Great reminder to check the easy stuff first.

    .. if you still working on cars and still checking these comments...i gotta question for ya bud. 2002 nissan frontier xe 3.3 v6 non sc... flushed cooling system over past summer popped the 10mm bleeder off the intake let sit overnight and su re enough good coolant flow indicating systems bled according to the repair manual. Ok cool- FF to these recent 15 ° days and temp gauge rides uo half way like it should im getting 100° on top H.C. hose at firewall and about 90-93° on the bottom. Now- when shes warm, no matter idle or revving driving whatever when i turn the heat on shes nice and warm i will turn on the heat and nice and warm air for all of 10seconds then back to cold...wait just a min turn back on nice and warm few seconds back to cold etc. Either sitting still or moving same deal .... tried burping on an incline nothn same deal. If ur still there man id appreciate your feedback.

      @@Boostismyfriend Well that depends on what you are answering 'Yes' to:
      If you meant; 'did hooking back up the hoses' cause the steam, then yes;
      If Randy Boudreaux meant would the mode (defrost - face) not working cause steam, then definitely no.
      If you smell hot antifreeze, then almost certainly your heater core (or the plastic(?) elbow connectors) are leaking. The lost fluid can be draining out the AC drain. Are you loosing coolant? (adding once and a while?). Is there water (coolant) on the ground near the passenger footwell/firewall area?
      I don't know if the heater box has to be pulled to reach the elbows and internal hoses. I know the heater core does. If so, then you'll have to go in either way.
      [EDIT; I think I got my vehicles mixed up, regarding connections INSIDE the heater box.
      It looks like these trucks have just the heater core inside, the spouts sticking out are part of the core (one-piece).
      Somewhere I thought I saw a vehicle that had two short hoses INSIDE the box, and another fitting exiting the box at the firewall., or maybe I just interpreted a poor illustration at some point...]
      I have some off-the-wall thoughts, but I don't know what help these would be:
      Having the bypass fittings, if you bypass it again; you could use water or air, or soap bubbles to help find the leak. Probably useless idea because you'd still have to get at it to fix it.
      If you do play with this, be warned that any significant pressure above 15psi applied to the heater core will likely split it open. If you had one leaky part, you could damage any other good components. (perhaps to know what part(s) to order before tearing it apart maybe?)
      Just my random thoughts LOL

    Thank you for your insight! I replaced the hoses to the heater core and now I am having similar issues: inside hose is warm, outside hose is hot, losing coolant but no leaks/puddles in the driveway and the temperature gauge doesn’t over heat but runs hot and fluctuates while driving and stopping…the passenger side floorboard has some wetness too. I hear the aviators moving but heat works sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t…thoughts?

    You need to be careful about water pressure and it it can blow your heater core apart. City water is usually at about 60-65 PSI. You can get a fitting from a hardware store that reduces the water pressure from the hose to 25 PSI. Then you can crank the water from the hose and let it flush away.

    I had trouble with mice in my 2500 and they were in the heater box preventing the blend door at the bottom from moving. After trying to get access to that door with no luck I went and drilled a 1" hole at the bend in the duct to the right of the door. Sure enough it was filled with mice nests and dead mice. Pulled most of it out with a stiff wire with a hook bent at the end and sucked the rest out with a shop vac. Plugged the hole with a removable 1" freeze plug because mice are everywhere and they will get in there again I'm sure.

    Any idea on what that could be also my rpm will go low then back up while I warm up the truck after it gets to where the gauge stops moving the idle goes back to normal. It’s currently avg of 50 degrees in Texas idk what it could be

    Have one cooler hose just like you were showing and when I flush the core out it flows clean both sides, heat works until I shut the vehicle off. When I turn it back on I have same problem. Is it trapped air blockage? Low coolant? Basically if clean water is flowing through the core it isn’t blocked right? There should be a bleed port to release the damn air if a bubble is blocking flow! Another stupid design only an engineer would not think of. I think you actually fixed the problem by getting the air out of the system and fully servicing the coolant?
    In my opinion, the dumbest engineering design is not having the heater core accessible. Tear the whole dash out? Really stupid design.
