I’v basically had no heat all winter from the main heater or the rear. I have back flushed the heater core and the engine was rebuilt 2 years ago with a new water pump. Recently the truck started overheating in the morning. If I stop and shutdown for 10 min it runs normal the rest of the day.
Oil looks fine, trans fluid is clean. Any thoughts.

INCORRECT TEMPERATURE OUTPUT
Inspect for broken or out of adjustment control cables, heater hoses leaking or clogged, or faulty water pump. Inspect for broken air dampers, clogged air ducts, leaking or clogged heater core, or faulty heater control unit.

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