If you're getting good hot air in places and not in others it's likely a blend door issue. If it just starts out hot then goes cold everywhere it's likely a clogged heater core (common issue with these trucks and a somewhat easy fix most times if you have some basic tools and skills).

Ground zero for casting sand issues 2016 the most cases 2017 as well, either clog or blend door issue. You can try rmi-25 might or might not help, also flush heater core. Blend doors labor is $$, but you need to get on this winter is here.
