I have no heat coming from the front or rear. I have flushed the entire cooling system, I have blown out both heater cores with water and air, both ways forward and reverse. I replaced the water pump, the thermostat. Previously I had replaced the front blend door for no heat in the front about 2 months ago and everything worked great until 2 weeks ago. I even packed cardboard in front of 3/4 of the radiator, now when I drive it tries to get lukewarm but at idle it goes cold immediately. The top radiator hose doesn't get hot which tells me the thermostat is stuck open. I just replaced bit 2 days ago. I thought about changing it out again, but I am getting frustrated. I have been a professional master technician for 40 years, I can't even read ECT with my Snap On Modis. All I can seem to find is cylinder head temperature and that value is measured in volts and it seems to be within specs.

Good morning,

Did you check the temperature of the heater hoses going it and out of the cores to be sure there is circulation?

I would start there.

Can you hear the blend door move back and forth when you command heat and cool?

I attached a YouTube video for the front blend door.
