I now have heat. I'm guessing my coolant level was quite low. I flushed the system and refilled and it's working now. I guess the thing to watch for is to see if I have a discernible leak in the system somewhere.

Hopefully no internal leaks. Those can be a PITA to track down.

Check the passneger side floorboard. Heatercores are usually in the dash above the floor. If they leak, there will be water on the floor.
Ask me how I know, lol! |

There's never been any water leaks inside the van and I've never seen anything underneath the van other than from the A/C running in the summer.

May put some dye in it and see if that can help me figure out of it's going anywhere. It has ~ $100k miles on it and this thing is gonna be driven until the wheels fall off of it hopefully w/out having to replace an engine or tranny. |

Not disputing what you say, but it just made me unsure of actually using it without getting something other than anonymous opinions.
My guess is that's it's probably similar to what you use in the tire repair in a can stuff. You may seal a leak, but I believe you'll completely void your tire warranty if you do it. ![]() |

Not even close Duane.
Totally different principles, plus, fix-a-flat doesn't void your warranty. Installing a plug might because in the process of installing a plug, you bend the belt wires in and make the tire unpatchable, but a can of F-A-F doesn't. It's just foamy crap that the tire shop wipes out of the tire with a rag when they go to fix the problem. Now, tell me what warranty you are trying to protect on a vehicle with 100K + miles? And this after you opened the cooling system and voided it by replacing a thermostat yourself? |
