Hello,

I have a 2015 2500 6.4L. Lately my heater has been blowing warm, but not what it used to be. A couple weeks ago I had to replace thermostat, water pump, radiator. I haven't had a chance to look at the heater core. The coolant gets around 215 degrees, and the system should be burped by now. Any thoughts?

Check the flow through the heater core. My 2013 was clogged because it simply is a bad design. Heater cores should be flushed every year or two to help prevent blockages.

Perhaps tryin to reverse flow your core will help flush it.

But for only $52k I fixed that issue with my 2013 2500 with a 2020 RAM 3500.

Yes I'm going to try flushing the core when temps get above freezing. The thermostat, radiator, and water pump have all already been replaced.
