My heat in my truck blows warm for 10 seconds then goes cold but if I leave it on the floor it stays warm any other place does the warm to cold thing. I have flushed the entire system already

Questions:

Is the coolant full?

With the engine running and warm and the heater on high, are both heater core hoses hot?

Let me know.

Does the engine fully warm up to operating temp?

If all those things are working correctly, then there is a problem with the blend air door. Most likely the actuator is going bad.
