Art,

Thanks for the jpeg--make sense about the water flow in the h/c.

I've just completed backflushing my heater core as suggested in your link. But instead, I merely disconnected the 2 engine heater hoses from the engine compartment nipples and connected the water hoses there. So, no sore back tomorrow.

The results are significant. Much hotter air comes out of all vents. The driver's side may not be as hot as the passenger side but still a lot of heat. Good enough for freezing temps & Houston's mild winters (no snow).

It took about 30 min for the back flush and 30-45 min to gather & assemble the pieces from my garden stuff. Hopefully, should do well for a number of years, and I look forward to your msgs on bb about r/r the h/c.

Hope the team you want to win in the super bowl wins & thanks to all's important help & suggestions.
