Hi I have the truck listed above V3500 with no heat. The heater core hasn't been bypassed and I don't smell any syrup in the cab. I also don't slowly lose any coolant. the blower motor works and the switches for the air all work. so I have no clue as to what it could be. Also it has the 454 and it's a dually.

Good morning,

I would start by making sure the thermostat is working and the coolant is getting hot enough.

I would also remove the heater hoses from the firewall and flush out the heater core with a garden hose until you get equal flow to both sides.

Make sure the blend door is responding correctly with commanding heat.
