Have a 2001 montana, ENGINE does not overheat, but has no heat out of heater core, replaced the thermostat.

Have tried to "bleed " the system after thermostat replacement, see no antifreeze burn out the back of the tail pipe.

Could be a blend door problem under the dash.
If one heater hose is hot and the other is not, could also be a blockage in the heater core.

check the coolant level fiirst...if that is low it wont give you any heat.....to change the thermostat you have to follow the top radiator hose to the engine.at the send of it you will see a clamp take it loose...then you will see the thermostat housing its held in place by 2 bolts . once you remove them you have the thermostat....make sure you clean all the old gasket material off both the housing and mount.also make sure you get a new gasket.

Might be a weak or failing water pump... Does it leak antifreeze or do you have to add antifreeze very often? When the engine gets to operating temperature squeeze the top radiator hose and see if you can feel pressure from the water pump forcing water through it.

How to change a bad thermostat on a 2003 3.4L pontiac montana

put in a radiator flush ,run it for 20 miles it can be a blocked core in both the radiator and the heater.that should clean it. then refill with a 50/50 mix anti freeze then bleed it of air. put your heater on full .run the engine on tick over.then push in the radiator hose to push the air out of the expansion bottle cap .it is off . then refit your cap.

Replaced thermostat and water pump on 96 contour- still overheats and no heat out of heater core

Did you bleed the air out of the cooling system? If not do this. Raise the car up in front with a floor jack, then fill the coolant tank as full as poss, start and run the engine until it just gets to the edge of hot, then shut off the engine off and run cold water over the radiator core, this will **** the coolant in and expel the air. If that does not cure the problem you may have a leaking cylinder head gasket.

Replaced thermostat and water pump on a 2001 Pontiac Montana, also flushed system. replaced with proper amount of coolant, but heater still will not produce warm air. .

There is a mix damper inside your duct that controls the heat over heater core and ac evaporator that to your floor and one to your defrost. it is probable an electric actuator, that is not functioning properly. If yu can locate it and manually move it, you might have to remove the actuator motor first, you should be able to figure out your problem, I hope this helps! merry Christmas!

My 2001 montana has heat then no heat and heat again it does'nt overheat it reads normal but just wondering how to fix this as we bled out the screws fluids are good too

Usually when that happens the radiator is a little low on coolant. I know on some 2000 models they have an electric pump that will help circulate coolant to the heater cores of the front and rear, this does help some.

I have a vapor lock in the cooling system that I can't fix. I changed the thermistat because I was getting very little heat, that worked for a while, then April of 2010 I couldn't get any heat from...

alright here goes the van probably has the 3.1 or the 3.4 engine the engine is fited with a bleeder valve that when you change your coolant or change a thermostat you will have to bleed all the xtra air that is in the lines if you dont the antifreeze will not circulate and causes no heat and could also cause your engine to overheat tearing up your engine. make sure you find the bleeders and get all the air out and you should have heat. hope this helped

Heat 2001 dodge durango

a bad heater core will just leak. it could leak alot. do you ever smell antifreeze? check the coolant level. it can get pretty low before it will overheat. the thermostat should be ok but there could be corrosion. when you had the water pump replaced was the cooling system flushed? 2001, its probably due for a flush. what coolant does it take? (green or orange)
