Looked at the Impala with the suspected heater core clogged.
Turns out it wasn't clogged, low on coolant.
Kinda suspected that would be the problem. I went ahead and flushed the core, drained and flushed the system through the disconnected heater hoses. The antifreeze looked a little brown, probably had some green mixed with the red.
Couldn't find a leak, but did find the cap bad, replaced it. Filled it with fresh antifreeze. It was very difficult to get all the air out. Starting and stopping the engine seemed to be the trick, couldn't find a vent. Once it was crammed totally full the heater started working.
I suspect there is probably a leak, likely a head gasket. I had so much water dripping from the flushing, couldn't see a leak if there was one.
Told her to keep an eye on it, hope for the best. Recent widow, raising her grand child, house full of dead beat kids that won't help... Guess what I'll be doing in a few days!
