Today it took almost 20 minutes for my heater to kick on and still wasnt hot just barely warm. Whenever i would accelerate i would hear a gurgling type noise from my vents and never when i would just idle. The A/C portion would work fine no problems at all. Any clue what could be the cause of this? Thanks for any help.

 

Not sure about the sound its making . Put try to flush the heater core first . Easy first step . My truck was doing the same , no heat. I could feel the temp change from cold to luke warm but not hot. I flush my core out and it now burns me out.

 

X2 on that. It's what mine was doing before my heater did this...

 

How do you flush the heater core, by that do you mean chemically flush the coolant system?

 

All I did was pull the 2 hoses that run to the heater core off the motor side . Used the garden hose to flush water thru each hose . Your garden hose will have a bigger opening . I just used my hands to hold the hoses together. If you have a small nozzle that twist on and off , it would be easier . Do each side 2 or 3 times untill the water coming out is clear. Put your hoses back on and top of your coolant..

Lil advise make sure engine is cold . Cause it will burn the snit out of you. Lol

 

Was driving tonight and noticed my gauges and seems to be running hot. Heres a pic what do yall think?

 

See how much antifreeze you have

 

Just checked it and it was bone dry.

 

That's your problem, is there any in the cab or running out in that pic like I posted above? And does it smell like it in the cab

 

A few days ago i noticed a small puddle of liquid under my truck but didnt think anything of it but now i realized what it is. As i filled it with some water noticed a small drip. Gonna run it to a mechanic friend of mine tomorrow morning.

Update: Earlier i placed a little cup where the drip was and it filled up about 1.5 cups of water. Also the leak is on my drivers side. After the mechanic ill give another update.
