Not sure if this is 100% the right place, so if not, I apologise.
The heater in my truck isn't the greatest. Last fall I replaced the water pump, thermostat with a 205 for the winter, and hoses going to the heater core, and back flushed the core multiple times. The year before that, before I owned the truck, the heater core was replaced at a shop, but the dumb *explative deleted* shop busted the latch that holds the core in place, so I've had to fabri-cobble up a way to keep it in place.
This fall I replaced freeze plugs, so the coolant has been flushed and replaced with new, I've put new, or hoses and fittings, including that one everyone hates, and a piece of card board over the grille. I've got the 4.3, and iirc, the same radiator is used for the 350(truck is a 95) the thermostat is functioning, I've verified with my own two eyeballs, and I can verify with the temp gauge, that is pretty accurate, even though it's just a gauge. Once "warm" and driving, the temp will climb to the 210 mark, the thermostat will open, and the temp falls to the 155 ish mark, then repeat. And even at the 210 mark, the heat at the vent isn't super warm, but enough to keep the cab warn ish, but even boring l blowing right on my feet, it never gets to where they're uncomfortably warm, or result even just warm.
I've checked and verified that the blend door actuator works, and that the door moves.
Any way to get more heat from her? Winter is about to really settle in, where days won't even get above 0F, so I would like to be able to get my feet warm
