[QUOTE="KsWoodsMan, post: 1212411, member: 18630"] :agree2: The heat control on the dash of your PU is probably a valve, as most are. Sliding the control lever over to cool limits the volume of water getting to your heater core. Lower volume equals slower water speed which means less heat output. Faster water speed through the core means more volume and gets more of the waste BTUs from the engine into the cab. The PU engine can produce more heat than the heater core can dissipate. Hopefully the heat requirement for your home doesnt exceeed the heat output from your OWB. Turning up the pump speed will raise the temperature of the air going through the air handler and at the registers [/QUOTE]
