Default '05 Dodge Grand Caravan No Heat

My mom's van is not blowing hot air at the moment. The temp gauge reads normal so the thermostat's out. When the blower is set on a lower setting you can feel heat coming out out of the dash vents. So do I just need to put a piece of cardboard on the grill or could it be something else? TIA

Tires Plus says it's the radiator. It isn't overheating or hissing or even leaking.

Sounds like either a clogged heater core or a stuck open thermostat a radiator has nothing to do with it

I called the guy who is looking at it and he said the radiator was bone dry and there were signs from a leak on the bottom. He couldn't tell me why it wasn't overheating though which is what really throws me off. It's been running at normal temperatures!!!
