My heater blows, but the heat is luke warm, at best.
I notices that my temperature is reading about 140 degrees. I bought T-stat, but have not put it in yet, I just put one in a week ago that was good for 180 degrees . The auto store said I should put a 195 degree one in. I wasn't working well even before I put the ne 180 degree T-Stat, so I am moderatle optimistic that this will work. Any help would be appreciated.
