Try warming the Vehicle, then carefully feel the heater hoses, are they both hot? If one is cooler than the other, You need to flush the core, or do a replacement job on the heater core. Also if the system has a heat control valve on the heater hose, make sure it is working! Also check the thermostat, and the temperature blend door, thats under the dash, in the heater plenum. You can flush this yourself, buy the prestone flush kit and install the tee in the heater return line. Disconnect the heater hose at the waterpump, clamp the hose in back of the tee you installed and back flush till it runs clear.20 mins or so.

I just replaced the water pump, upper and lower and bypass hoses. New radiator. Flushed the heater core. The temp gauge runs a little over half way between 130 and 210 on temp gauge. The heat blows cold. The heater hose on the drivers side is cool. Passenger side is hot. Is there air in the system? How do you bleed the air out. Thank you.

I have the exact same problem but when I squeeze my radiator hose (Upper) you can hear fluid moving around in the overflow tank I thought the cap should seal the system off I wish someone would HELP!

I have this problem as well. I have looked at other posts and they all seem to suggest there is a blockage in the heater core.

Remove the hoses to the heater core. Then use your garden hose back flush the heater core.

I will attempt it this weekend myself. I will let you know how it went. Right now it is a balmy 10 degrees outside.
