just curious, does the heat work in a first gen CTD?
just curious, if the heat does work in a first gen with CTD?
I know it wasn't worth a crap in my 95 until I installed an aftermarket heater core. the 05 is amazing. BTW-It was 70* here yesterday. thanx, crossy |
say again ??/
say what ?
|
Yes ! You must have a heater core that is stop-up.
|
no , I'm just asking if the heat systems work decent in these trucks with the Diesel.
|
Once they warm up they seem to work fine, or atleast mine does anyways.
|
My heat works great, found the best thing to do it put the heat all the way up and put it on vent. I don't do this until the truck is fully warmed up but when it is it will boil me out of the truck in about 5 minutes.
|
My heater always worked great.
|
The heater worked great in my former 92 CTD.
|
works great in my truck. as soon as the guage starts to move its throwing out good heat. I usally have to turn the heat off after its warmed up because even on low it gets to how in there.
|
Mine works pretty good once I get out on the highway and the rpm's are up but could work better. I know my vacuum operated heater valve leaks by when not in use so maybe I need to change it out. It might not be opening up all the way. I also cleaned a hard hat full of leaves and debris from the air box at the evaporater and that helped air flow a bunch.

I've found that the heat works good on my CTDs until about -15*F. After that, without haulin' a load, the engine has a hard time coming up to operating temp and the heat in the cab suffers dramaticly. At -40*~-50* heat in the cab is pretty much non-existant. But that's why they made Carharts right?

thanx guys. |
It'll roast me right out of the truck...I insulated everything in the truck as well, under seats, behind seats, headliner, under carpet, doors...helps to keep the heat in.

I put in a higher opening thermostat from a auto parts place. It opens a few degrees later than stock. Warms the truck up that you usually have to open a window on low. Works down to -45 C. Trust me I know. [duhhh]
