Hey guys,
This is my first dodge ram 97 1500 extended cab 4x4 love my truck but as this year has been super cold id like to have my heater working, since i got the truck it never has worked. So open the hood look for the hose's and it seems that the org owner has bypassed by heater? now after looking up why i came to the idea of it must have been leaking in the cab? as why else take the time and money to bypass the heater. So yesterday i took my garden hose and blew water in and out both lines just old rusted coolant flushed out. No water in the cab! now i know the garden hose wont be close to the pressure of the car pushing coolant through. But i have high hopes and would like to buy the hose's and try it out! what i got to lose but little money and time. But i cant figure out where they bypassed and where do i connect the stander-ed hose's.
