hi, my name is dan. I'm new to this site.
I have a couple questions. I have a 2003 liberty sport, v6, rear wheel drive.
lately, the heat has not been working at all. I think I might have two issues. the engine will warm up like normal, but the upper radiator hose gets really hot and the lower hose will remain cold. There was a really bad sludgy coolant that was the color of rust that came out of the hoses when I replaced the thermostat. I flushed out as much coolant as I could. ran water through the radiator and the heater core and everything seemed to be cleared. installed the thermostat and filled with coolant and ran the engine. the hoses never equalized in temp and I never got heat from the vents.
please help.
