JK heating/sediment whatever problem
Magnum Opus:
So far nothing massive with the water flushes. Here comes the CLR!
Magnum Opus:
Definitely not the heater core......flushed the crap out of it though. If you have similar issues.....warm up the jeep and pull the glove compartment. there are two pipes on the inboard side goes to the core if both are big time hot you got flow and the core probably is not the problem. Next up ventilation dampners.

Honda had an issue with debris in heater cores on 2011 & 2012 CRV's. They sent all dealers a high volume pump and A special procedure to flush the heater core with the CLR solution mixed with water. Have to run it for 30 min and 90% of the time it works. So it seems you are having an issue with the blend air door. Remove the mode door motor and operated manually to see if your heat works.
I complain about my gutless old 3.8L but feel it's a much more reliable engine the the new over complicated 3.6L. Never had a heat issue and suprized it has not melted my vents yet. Just changed the coolant for the first time at 105K and still vent melting heat. Figure heat is so good cuz of under powered engine always working so hard to move this heavy sled. Explains the 12 mpg. As they say. Power of a Prius. Mileage of a Hemi.
Magnum Opus:
Skibum....thanks for the advise! I spent a good portion of the evening looking for drawings and blogs of people who have fixed this before....came up way dry. I still have an appt for monday, but cant see a point in spending over a grand to fix a $20 part. If I can access the blender from the passenger side a piece of duct tape or some thing else to lock it in heat only looks like the best option until spring when I can pull dash and fix it right!
Magnum Opus:
Going all in on this......got the dash apart except for the passenger side. Letting the capacitors bleed down before removing the air bag. Becoming a dash specialist. Only regret so far is not having upgraded radio and speakers on standby. Hope this all goes back together!
