Good morning.

If your temperature is up at the hoses and you did all the work you described, it sounds like either the water pump is bad or the heater core is the issue.

What is the inlet and outlet temps of the heater core?

The impellers rot out on those water pumps and circulation is very low.

Had not considered water pump. After looking at one at the auto parts store, this could very well be my problem. Just cheap sheet metal impeller. I will replace. Only thing left is blend door. Thanks for information.

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