I have weak heat in a 84 GMC. I have replaced the heater core and thermostat, the supply hose from the core is hot, the return hose from the core in warm. I adjusted the cable to the air mixing door. After all that it still blows on average 100 degree air. The truck comes up to temp 185 and is stable. If anyone has any ideas let me know

What temp thermostat did you install? THe factory one is 195. THerefore, the engine should be running at that or higher. Also, have you tried to flush the heater core?

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
