    Heater blows cold
    1999 Dodge Ram 1500. Heater blows cold air. Checked all doors and are working OK. Have never had good hot air since owned truck 6yrs.

    Reverse flush the heater core, using a commercial radiator/heater core flush product or CLR. Personally, I would reverse flush the whole cooling and heating system, remove both drain plugs on the engine block, and refill with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water. Be sure to read your Owner's Manual on how to refill the system, to purge all air from the system.

    Is there a thermostat in the Truck?Temp gauge reading normal?

    Check the cowl for leaves and whatever else that could clog up the heater core
    Sometimes you can take a flexable claw tool to get a sample of what's down in there

    Feel the heater hoses and see if they are both hot(heater on full and engine warmed up)
