the heat will propagate thru the system although im not sure how much of it will be due to circulation but without sufficient heat being generated it will dissipate without helping the engine much. warm water rises thus it flows and is therefore........ no not a witch its circulation!!! if it was just convection the heater wouldnt need an inlet. max life liberty and the pursuit of any jackass that threatens it. embellished usnavy slogan .

the hvac system blows out the defrost or the defrost and heater when panel has been selected...until you let off the gas and then it goes right to panel. but i dont really care about that so much i was just telling about to illustrate how far you have to have your foot in it to even go 55 on cruise control. i also forgot to mention that it only got about 16.5 mpg--why not just have a full-size for that mpg but no matter. what im wondering about is the hesitation off idle worse when cold and even does it with no load on the engine in neutral...also it idles high enough that it tries to shift into second when youre idling in drive but doesnt quite make it into second and goes back down into first. really wants to creep ahead at stoplights also because of that high idle. the truck is totally loaded and clean and i only paid $500 for it a church owned it! so im not really bitching and could easily sell itfor more than i paid for it...but i want to get it running right whether i keep it or not. so i was wondering about the hesitation and idle speed. .
