Sidekick Heater
« on: January 09, 2009, 10:48:36 AM »
I have read about fixing the heaters on Samurais by hole-sawing into the box to clean out the junk on the heater core. Can the same thing be done to a Sidekick? This thing has little hot air. New 'stat, cooling system flush, new anti-freeze and all the controls are working easily. My kick is a 90. My 94 gets warmer inside than my 90 and it doesn't have a full top on it. Getting to work with ice on my schnutts is getting old. Thanks for any help.

sounds like it would be a fix as long as the heat valve is really opening with the controls.
i've looked at mine w/the idea of doing the hole thing and it looks doable('89).
my heater works great, considering soft top, but there must be crap in there.
mine also used to have a/c and i wonder what is behind the glove box- another radiator thing?
'89 kick w/little motor, still got pieces of jeff's pucks, stan's sticks into 4.24:1 tcase, 31x10.5x15's, rear lockrite, kick power steering, some radios(kj6esv), bmw seat, other changes just because. done on the cheap.
