Fixed the heater

Found the culprit to my heating problems. After flushing the heater core, and complete system multiple different times and a new thermostat, finally solved the problem. Ending up being the water pump.

After a week of research, found out that the radiator needed coolant. Topped it up, and no more check gauges (still slightly over 10 psi when hot idle) and my heat is back!!! Now I know what to do on the weekend!, Thanks to all of your post in this forum
