Good news and bad news. I fired it up and the truck didn't explode! There was a bit of clatter concerning me coming from the engine but after a few minutes it went away. The bad news is I have no heat and the temp gauge stays on "C".
I replaced the thermostat with an OEM Motorcraft one, I replaced the water pump, and I flushed the heater core from the inlet side (the one on the right...I think that's the inlet). The upper rad hose gets pretty warm as does the inlet heater core hose. The outlet heater core hose is not so warm. I'm not sure what to do. Since the upper rad hose is hot, does that mean the that t-stat is working properly?
