Are the heater hoses so hot you can barely hold onto them?
This could be a heater door--actuator motor problem in the heater. As the heat is making it into the heater box
if they are barely warm---i'd investigate the thermostat 1st
i hate to throw this at you --- but I feel obligated, as this could be the condition. But maybe not (we hope). Failure to consider it, may cost you your engine.
. Do your other checks, if things are not working out.I'd stop driving it, till you get this checked
thing is----if the water pump is having an issue----not only are you cold in the cockpit----the engine coolant may not be circulating (or enough)
sometimes water pumps have plastic impellers---sometimes the same kinda pump from another parts may be offered with a metal one----sometimes the parts store may have both, with different warranty's or prices
personally, if available, i'd get pump with a metal impeller
i dug a little deeper for you---"advance auto parts" has "2"---only one of 'em allows me to look at the back side on their site.I screen shot it for you. See my 1st pic. This one is plastic!
I have taken several pics of pump failures with a plastic impeller. Keep in mind these are from different vehiclessee the rest of my pics. Especially the one that is just cracked (i wrote captions on it)
