I have a 1998 6.5 Diesel pickup. I cant get thing more than luke warm air out of the heater. The temp gauge wont move off the bottom of the gauge(160deg). One year I put a piece of cardboard in front of the whole radiator and it really didnt help. Replaced the thermistat a few years ago, and it still didnt help. I think the engine just isnt getting hot enough to send hot water to the heater core. I felt both hoses of the heater core, and they are both warm so I dont think the heater core is clogged. Anyone have any solutions or a place online where I can buy one of those cloth things that snaps over the radiator? Thanks

i had the same problem with my '95. the waterpump fins wore down so it wouldn;t circulate enough coolant. the engine still ran cool but not enough circulation to get through the heater core. another possibility is there's a screen inline on the heater hose that goes into the intake. that can plug too. you could clean it but i havn't had any luck getting them out without breaking the fitting so good thing there cheap to buy at GM.

My '96 6.5 diesel has a good heater also. You have to turn it down after about two miles. I would guess it is your thermostats or the heater core is partially plugged.

I have a 92 chevy truck with a 6.5 in it and it has the best heater of any vehicle I have ever owned. It even warms up and blows hot air real quick! I suspect your thermostats are not closing properly. It should have 2 in it beings its a 98. My old truck just has the single thermostat crossover on it.
