Now its a bout 39 deg and I get no heat. I ran the defrost on high thinking there was air in the system but still no luck. I did that for about 5 minutes though. I am thinking that i need a new heater core? There are no leaks or coolant anywhere. Please help
Best guess:
#1. The system has air trapped.
#2. The bypass/bleed tube (block to head) is plugged.
#3. The thermostat bypass is plugged, and/or thermostat is junk.
