Why is the outlet Hot when flushing the heater core?
The OP states he has good flow when trying to flush the core yet when the truck is operating the inlet hose is hot and the outlet is cool. That certainly points to a restricted heater core. If the heater core was plugged but the coolant was able to circulate around it without exchanging any heat then the outlet hose would still be hot.
Is the inlet hose to the heater core hot?
I even drianed the entire system and evacutated all the air out of the system and put a vaccum under and filled the system back up still nothing. The inlet hose to the heater core is very hot it comes out of the front of the engine but the out let hose is warm no where close to hot.
Why is there no heat after a coolant flush?
Well, if you have leakage in the radiator cap, air can enter easily in the cooling system. Many times, when you flush the cooling system, gunk enters into the heater core and clogs it up. As a result, the heater core fails to provide warm air.
Why does my hot water heater not provide warm air?
Many times, when you flush the cooling system, gunk enters into the heater core and clogs it up. As a result, the heater core fails to provide warm air. Around 50% of the time, dirt and rust are the main reasons why a heater core doesn’t provide warm air. Dirt and rust clog up the core and don’t let warm air come out.
Is it possible to flush out a heater core?
It might be possible to flush out the heater core’s passages with either a water hose or air pressure, but many modern heater cores have plastic lines and tanks so this can be risky. Don’t exceed the pressure stated on the radiator cap when flushing.

Why is my hot water heater still hot after plugging in?
That certainly points to a restricted heater core. If the heater core was plugged but the coolant was able to circulate around it without exchanging any heat then the outlet hose would still be hot. There is something else going on here. As a disclaimer, I have never been a professional mechanic but mechanical systems don’t defy logic or physics.
Why is the coolant not flowing through the heater core?
The thermostat was never mentioned. Also, the coolant may not be flowing through the heater core for reasons other than the obvious. The thermostat may be the culprit if you get half the normal amount of heat when the engine is fully hot.
