So I am wondering if anyone has had this problem before, or knows where I should start in trying to fix this issue I am having.
My '96 chevy c1500 no longer has heat. I was driving last week and my temp. gauge climbed into the red, and all of a sudden it dropped to the other extreme whilst what I guess was some smoke came billowing into my cab from my vents. Completely clouded up all of my windows and I had to pull over.
After this, my gauge no longer works, and my heat no longer works. I have noticed I am losing coolant as well, but I looked on my passenger floor and I don't see any evidence of moisture leaking into that side. (This rules out heater core right?)
I topped up my rad because I noticed it was a bit low and my reservoir still had the correct amount of fluid in it. I recently looked and my reservoir is now bone dry.
I picked up a new thermostat because I was hoping that it just failed on me, but I am starting to think I may be looking at something worse.... Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.
