My heat is not hot

The gauge on the dash means SQUAT... Get a gauge in there or a scanner and see what the real temp is.
I cant for the life of me remember what the additive is right now...
FW16... Your local Ford shop can get it for you, as well as the test strips.
I run a filter with the additive in it already.

Hello all! So my Volkswagen diesel pumps out 115* heat from the vents, verified by many with thermometers. So perhaps I'm a bit spoiled by the heat output of my VW... but the heat on my OBS I can seriously have full blast and even after the truck is up to temp (somewhere between the O and R in "NORMAL") I wont even be considered "hot" after a road trip.
I'm thinking the radiator and heater core may need a good flushing, but is there something else that frequents these trucks?

The control **** seamed to work, but the door wasn't shutting (or opening) all the way allowing too much outside cold air to be introduced.
When the blend door is fully open (or closed, I forget which), (cold position on the control ****), the blend door directs the air flow to by-pass the heater core. When the blend door is fully in the other position (hot position on the control ****), all the airflow must go through the heater core. A middle position on the **** maintains a partially open blend door, thus the name "blend door". My blend door was jammed and would only allow partial airflow to go through the heater core, the rest went around. The blend door is independant from the fan and the blend door does not affect the quantity of air coming out, only the temperature.
