Heater in truck blows either cold air or no air.

When I turn on my heater in my truck, it only blows out cold air. Sometimes, no air at all comes out. I drive a 1991 ford ranger. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you have air trapped in the cooling system. Try filling the radiator and coolant reservoir cold. Then leave the radiator cap loose and run engine at 1500 rpm until it warms up and the thermostat opens. Make sure heater is on full warm setting.

My yruck only blows cold air wont blow warm

Could be the air flaps of the heater unit are set incorrectly or not working at all or possibly the heater radiator is blocked or semi-blocked or perhaps there is something wrong with the heater hoses or the heater water valve if one is fitted.

These things need checking before a cause can be established.

I am sometimes called upon to flush out a heater radiator. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it causes a leak and the heater radiator must be replaced. Not an easy job on many vehicles made in the last couple of decades..

You got a bad heater door module most likely or the door itself may have issue.

Turn your air conditioner OFF and turn your heater ON. Air conditioners were designed to blow out one temperature of air... COLD.

Car heater blows cold

Clogged heater hoses. Look for a clog where your heater hoses connect to your engine for corrosion. Especially down in engine part of connection and through any extension tubes.

When driving, heater blows warm air. When idling, cold air.

check your anti-freeze level, I'd bet that you're a little bit low!

Heater blows cold air

With the car warmed up,feel the heater hoses,are they both warm/hot near the firewall in the engine compartment?If they are both warm/hot,then the heater core should have circulation through it and it may be a "blend door" issue in the heater a/c assembly.If they are not warm/hot then the heater core could be dirty and plugged up and needs to be flushed.
If the above does not help,a drain and vacuum of the cooling system and vacuum refill will remove any trapped air.
Sometimes,clamping off the top rad hose and holding the engine rpm at 2000 rpm will force trapped air out of the heater core.(Watch temp gauge when trying this)
Lastly,a NEW thermostat doesn't mean its working correctly.
