Hello All,
Im looking for some help/advice with the heater on my rig.
My Rig: 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Limited
My problem: I only get heat out of the drivers side vents.
What I Know: This vehicle has 2 heater cores 1 under dash and 1 behind the rear tire for heat in the back. All of the lines feed and return lines get hot and the blowers blow just no hot air. If I leave the heater off for a bit then turn on I will get a burst of heat out of all vents but then back to cold except for the drivers side. last clue when I take off from after a red light I can hear water flowing through the heater core. I am not losing coolant.
Any help or suggestions would be Awesome!
Thanks, Mike

Quick update. I purchased the radiator funnel air bleeding kit but before I used it I back flushed both heater cores put it all back together bleed the air and like magic the heat was back, now I have a very happy wife. Thanks for your help [emoji106]

That is a great solution, I was thinking of a way to mount my remote head ham radio. I think I will be stealing your idea. [emoji106]
