Flush your heater core. Or you have an air pocket

You should be using the stock 195 degree thermostat.

If you're not, you will not get good heat.

Flush your heater core. I was having the same problem until I flushed it and I was amazed as how much stuff was hiding in it. After though my heat works like a champ

I flushed my heater core last weekend.


Heat went from barely warm to blazing hot in a matter of 10 minutes with a garden hose.

Its easy, and free.

Are you certain that the blend door is functioning properly?

Check your linkage from the control panel to the door lever.

So, u did the flush, burped it, checked the blend door and made sure u have at least a 180F t-stat? When u did the flush, was a good strong stream of water squirting out a heater hose? 'bout the only thing left is a possible weak water pump

When you flushed it , did you flush it opposite the way the coolant would normally go?

it works!! I flushed it again today.. I put some blue devil sealant in it and it works now!! I must have a leak somewhere.. which worries me cuz it mite be a head gasket..
