Had a coolant leak so replaced water pump and thermostat while I was at it. Still had a leak and found the problem was the radiator, so I replaced the radiator. No more leak, but no more heat either. Could only get heat into the truck if I let it idle for a long time. Driving would eliminate the heat and it would blow cold. I determined it was a thermostat problem, so I dug through my garbage for the box it came in. It was the right temp, but a "fail safe" t stat. So, wfter replacing the pump and t stat, with the bad radiator, it still overheated and that tripped the fail safe t stat into locked open position, thus, no heat. I just need to replace the t stat and all will be fine. I didn't know I had bought a fail safe, didnt even know what it was till I saw the box. Thought I would share this.
