When my truck is idling, the hot air does not come out of my heater. When I drive it though and get up to around 35 MPH, the hot air comes out fine.

Hi jakebirdy,

Thank you for the donation.

Did you check the radiator coolant level? Insufficient coolant would cause the problem and if required, try bleeding the cooling system

With heater turned to maximum and radiator cap off, start engine and top up the coolant level if it goes down.
