Default I gunned it to about 85 and it got hotter!

I got a heat issue

The issue is.... No heat

Blend door seems to be working.
Fluid ok
No leaks
Temp gauge is normal

So on my way to work (while still blowing cold air) I floored it and suddenly I started getting hot air. But will it last? Who knows?

Do I have a clogged heater core? Or another problem?

Mechanic at work said the Dextron **** will clog

Any help

Thanks

That would be my suspicion. Has it ever been flushed both directions?

Talk to a mechanic who actually knows about DexCool (not Dexron, that's GM's automatic transmission fluid.)
