Hello

I get a small amount of hot air blowing through the thermostat, and all the hoses look ok although I do have a torn driver's side heat exchanger to flapper box hose. I have wondered if maybe there isn't enough backpressure on the heat exchanger air to get good airflow all the way to the thermostat.

Yes thats a comon problem even with new exchangers and doubled ( isolatet ) pipes runing up.
Only the "Karl Wagner fix" for it seemed to work clever enough. Basically you use the alternatorfanblade as vac and run a pipe to the lower end from the thermostate.

I also tried it with a electric fan in the tube but only found a small one whos blades meltet away. Maybe I will stumble over a other one.

Grüsse
