So i have a 97 Ranger XLT with the 4.0. I have officially ran out of ideas as to what could be wrong with my heater. It will only circulate air from outside into the cab. I cannot get heat at all and this is a problem due to the fact that i live in Alaska and it gets pretty cold up here during the winter. The previous owner did his own modifications to the heater (guy thought he was some sort of super mechanic). So the problem is this, i can get air to blow through all the vents so there is no vacumme leaks. The heater core was checked and replaced. The hoses that lead to the heater core are getting very hot once the truck is warmed up like they are supposed to. The heater controll valve was removed so it is just getting a straight flow through the heater core. Also the heater blend door from the inside of the heater box was removed. Meaning that it should be stuck on heat only, yet i am unable to get any heat to circulate through the cab. I had the dash out and checked to make sure that all the hoses were hooked up and electrical was connected and everything was getting the right amount of electricity. I am fed up and out of ideas as to what to do now, any help full posts would be appreciated as it is getting cold up here!!!!
