The heater starts to heat then after about ten miles it blows cold. Thermostat changed and flushed through but still starts hot then goes cold.

It sounds like you have a plugged heater core or the circulation is weak. I would try flushing the cooling system and heater core using a garden hose to clean out any junk in the core.

Here is a guide that can help as well:

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
