heater is garbage

[hydrastas]

I've checked everything with my heater not blowing hot, it blows warm but never hot. Before i did anything to try to fix the heat it would warm up very slowly and take 30 min to defrost at idle and 10 while driving. My gf's 07 kia took 45 seconds to do this at idle... While driving i could go around 70 mph and the heat would get decent warm but not hot. Now that i've checked everything about the heater and replaced the t-stat and filled up the coolant nice and full, it does warm up somewhat faster. Now it's around 10 min at idle and 3-4 at driving to defrost and heat up. But it still only heats up to about warm temp and not hot. Wtf can i do to make this hotter? The hoses coming from the heater core are both warm, the bottem one is like 180 degrees it seems and the top one is i'd say 120? any ideas?

I forgot to say that you might have a clogged heater core, but it seem unlikely.

goodness these dsm's have some great problems don't they.

that was my first guess or their is interference on the intake side.

when between 11 to 21 yrs old things go wrong.
