I have two questions about my '88 K2500 pickup.

1. It has a 8-lug, 14 bolt rear axle in it. Does anyone know what the gearing might be?

2. The heat has not been working in the truck and I flushed the heater core with water in the reverse direction and I also changed the thermostat in the engine. Still no heat. What is the common sign that the heater core is not working. The blower works great. The heat control is the electronic style and that seems to be working right.

some times it can be as simple as a vaccuum line with a crack in it would check vaccuum lines first .

Just because the electronic heater contol "head" appears to be functioning does NOT mean the servomotor attached to the heat control (blend) door is following what the control "head" tells it to do.

There is NO feed back from the servomotor to the control head. The control "head" simply issues a positioning command and ASSUMES the motor has obeyed. The bar graph on the control "head" display will move, even though the servomotor DOESN'T move.

You may have a control "head" problem, where the "head" shows the bargraph moving and is defective, and not sending the signal to the servomotor. You may have a wiring problem between the contol "head" and the servomotor. You may have a defective servomotor, OR a mechanical problem, where the servo is moving, and the "blend door" is not. Also, the blend door is plastic, and has a rubber flange around it. Sometimes, the rubber lets go of the plastic door, so the door no longer seals, allowing cold air to bypass the heater core.

LOTS of stuff to check, all located in a MISERABLE place to work!

Look for a metal tag on your differential cover.
You may see all kinds of numbers but look for:
3.54 or 3.73 or 4.11 or 4.56 that will be the gear ratio. If that tag is gone jack up the rear and climb under the drive shaft.
Put a piece of tape on the very bottom of the sidwall of your tire and another piece on the bottom of the drive shaft. Turn the tire one revolution while counting the number of turns on the drive shaft. If the drive shaft turns 4 and a half times for every tire revolution you have 4:56 gears. If it turns 3 and 3/4 you have 3:73 gears. You will want to do it a few times but you can check it this way and be dead on.

Tweeter,
First the gear ratio would be in the form of a production code(RPO) in glove box sticker.The g's are the ratio codes.For example GU6 or GT4 for 3:42 or 3:73.

On the heat deal,did you take out the fitting at rear of intake to see if clear?Did you check the flow from heater core at return side going back to the radiator?~brad

Yes, the coolant is going through the heater core.
