Finally pulled the heater box

[oldiron]

After suffering for far too long with barely enough heat I decided to cure the problem. I had gone through all the usual steps; flush core, 192 degree t-stat, etc,etc,etc. Nothing really helped. Thursday I had to work late, and drove home at around midnight, it was around 30-35 degrees, cold all the way home. That was the last straw, so yesterday I pulled the heater box to see what was going on in there. Surprise surprise Its full of dirt dauber nests, left over mice nests, two ink pens, leaves, and dirt. Now I've blown this thing out with water and compressed air too many times to count, and these things are still intact.
I got it all cleaned up and re-sealed everything. Now I can cook a roast in the cab. I think I'm a little too excited about this, but sometimes it's the little things that bring so much joy.

Amazing how much stuff finds its way into these things.

It’s amazing how the little things count.
I found a really old square nail, quarters, and a 22 shell casing. I think my bronco lived a lot in the AZ an CA deserts

My fan had a bad rattle until I pulled it apart and found a stick of gum still in its foil wrapper and hardened over time. A little gift from the PO.
