Sucks for you guys, I've done 3 and they all threaded right out.
Mine did too, but it wasn't more than a couple years old when it started leaking and I replaced it.

So the heat in my truck is a little on the wimpy side. The cab does eventually get warm but it takes a while. If you open the rad cap you can see the heater return water flowing. Hard to tell what kind of volume it is, but looks like the hose runs full. My truck has had the heater adapter replaced at some point in it's life as it is a steel unit. Would there be any issue in opening up that adapter a tad to allow a bit more water to flow? Thanks!

^^^Agreed.My 88 would roast you out of the cockpit, something else is amiss.
If the heater nipple has enough wall thickness it can be threaded for a reducing bushing or two to restrict the flow.
Don't ever restrict the return hose. The heater core will hate you.
I replaced that stoopid fitting on my 6.5TD three times before I got tired of it enough to put a barb fitting in.
