That typically has the opposite effect. Is he turning it on defrost? That will kick on the ac compressor. Coolant is always flowing through the heater core no matter what position. All you change by moving the heater lever is a blend door behind the dash. If the ac is kicking on it cold be a bad fan clutch, partially clogged radiator, or numerous other cooling system problems

Is a 92 s10 motor compatiable with a 95 s10? 3 Answers

They are both automatics. The engine in the 95 is blown. But I have a 92 that has been sitting for a few years but was food when we parked it. Can I put the 92 into the 95?

Was rolling in 5th gear going 60, heard aloud screeching noise and it threw us forward in the seat and slowed it immediately to about 40.I pulled off to the side of the road and smoke was coming from under the truck.I looked around and couldn't see anything visibly wrong.I started it up again just fine and started rolling in 1st gear, then I tried to shift to 2nd the truck just stopped and wouldn't go into any gear.At this point the truck will start but when I let the clutch out, it dies(in neutral). Had to remove my drive shaft to be towed on towrope because it wouldn't roll smooth in neutral. When the engine is running now I don't feel any vibration through the gearshift anymore like how I used to before it broke down. What could it be? 3 Answers
