Common problems with the heater?
I have a 2003 4.6
I just discovered this morning that my heater doesn't work. (I live in South Florida so the need is few and far between).
The blend air door **** feels good and a visual inspection doesn't come up with anything strange.
Granted, I only use a heater (home, car, ect) about 10 times a year but, it was 50 degrees this morning so there was a need. Nothing but cold air. The AC compressor was not on but it was simply drawing the cold outside air in.
So, is there anything common I should be looking at?

Is your (idiot) temp guage reading normal....Usually the shy side of dead centre??
Is your rad & resovour full??
Now be careful!!!!
After it's warmed up slightly touch/grab your 2 heater hoses & see/feel they are both hot....
If they are very hot to the touch you should have circulation!!

I didn't try the "does it burn?" test on the heater hoses. I will try that this afternoon once the truck warms up.
