My truck doesn't build any pressure. It had weak heat last winter. I swapped rad cap with a lev r vent and I get nothing. Cap doesn't even get hit. Rad is hot, hoses are hit, runs great. Doesn't smoke. I see no wetness but I will double check block(freeze plugs).
It has 203k miles, newer rad hoses and heater core bur it may well have stock water pump. Is it possible the vanes are worn off and it's just not moving the coolant effectively enough to build pressure.
Every now and I smell coolant at startup but I think it's defective heater core(currently bypassed for summer due to breaking the valve). Doesn't noticeably use any coolant.
It's got me stumped I guess, i put some leak stop in when I got it but most of that's been flushed out in the last 6 months. it wasn't leaking idk why I did it.
It's my dd I put 200 miles a week or more and I've never seen the temp really move except at startup. ( I.e. Cold to "o" on normal)
