2002 GC heater issues
I know this is a common problem with these years of GC's but I have looked high and low on here and I don't believe I have found a solution. My heater blows luke warm air, enough to clear the windows at -10 or -15 celsius but does not warm the interior of the vehicle. I have tried all of the fixes I found on here including - changing thermostat, coolant, flushing heater core and radiator and opening up and inspecting the blend door. I ordered the JGC parts blend door but there is no need to install it at this point. There is no antifreeze smell, window fogging, or wet area on the passenger carpet/floor. I am not sure what my problem is at this point. Any help would be very appreciated.

Is there some magic ****ing method to getting this rusted brake fitting out of my soft line? God forbid one thing on this crap Jeep just come off easily or be done easily. I had to cut the old line to get it out, and now I cannot get this flare nut out of the soft line. It's rust welded or some ****. I've tried flare wrench, channel locks tighter than hell, nothing. And now its got wife in an uproar about the Jeep. I swear to God it's 5 seconds from getting donated or hauled to a wreckers.
