Thought my heater just sorta sucked. It’s a common theme around here lately. But I was encouraged by the many responses about just how hot these FJ60 heaters run.
Suppose I was a bit anxious to crank open the thermostat housing because of the “bolts seizing” threads here. Luckily, they came right out.
And lo and behold, the thermostat is stuck in the open position.
Worst of all, PO paid nearly $1,200 bucks at a local shop for a new radiator not long ago.
It’s clear that thermostat, bolts, gaskets and associated hoses were not replaced during the radiator replacement. Perhaps it was working then (not even 6 months ago) but I doubt it. Simply amazing.
Anyway, I finished cleaning up all parts, and now I’m just waiting on my shipment from PartSouq w to get back on the road.
Thanks again to the Board!
