There never seems to be enough heat coming from the heater in this vehicle?

I have changed the thermostat, and also had the radiator flushed; still just lukewarm heat. Do you have any common remedies for this model vehicle.

The heater core is like a small radiator inside your dash. The coolant flow through it can be restricted by corrosion. The lack of flow of coolant through the heater core will result in a lack of warm air inside the car. Flushing out the heater core may help. If not, you will have to replace it. Also check the heater control valve if your car is equipped with one.
