Low heat in my 01 ram

[Guyj]

Alright so i just changed my heater core, my thermostat nd blower motor resistor( i think thts wat its called) and now i have heat but its warm not hot, motor reaches its temperature but still dont find it hot. Im leaning towards blend doors any other ideas about low heat ?

 

[Guyj]

Also how hard is it to get to blend doors? Aha doing everything myself garage charge to much lol

You have made sure all the air is burped out of the system, right?

For the blend doors, you should be able to hear the door opening and closing when you move the temperature knob back and forth.

Well kinda haha i let it run for lil with rad cap open but didnt have to add anything? How do u do that exactly?

 

[dodge dude94]

You ramp the passenger side of the truck up so that the radiator cap is much higher then the rest of the rad, take the cap off, let it run til it heats up....then the burping shall begin.

Alright i will try that first would that make stop the heat from being hot ? Cuz its warm enough to b comfortable nd slowly defrostthe windshield lol

What degree thermostat are you running? A 180* stat will cause really bad heat...
