Thermostat probably bad. Time for a radiator flush, new thermostat and Stant cap. Is the fan clutch OK (sounds like a jet if stuck on).

I have a 94 S10 Blazer and it stopped throwing heat replaced the control panel assembly (used) and just replaced the heater blower motor the motor engages and runs but still not blowing like it should..the only time you can feel some of the heat coming in is from the force of the air going down the road..no idea what to do HELP ANYONE!

Heater core could be clogged (flush it), the resistor that runs the fan speed could be bad (believe up on underhood housing so check it replace if necessary), or the control door (heat vs air etc) not moving so check that and the vac lines underhood drivers side - if defrost only thats default for no vac - look behind glove box for the door vac switch. This all assumes engine temp running at normal 195 so good thermostat.

2001 GMC Jimmy Heater Problems by dizzyjonez

Ok...So I've got no heat blowing into my cab, only cold air, when temperature gauge is hot, and even colder air when the temperature gauge is cold. I've replaced the thermostat and flushed the entire coolant system. Flushed the heater core and there were no restrictions in the flow of water. In-feed to the heater core is hot and the outlet is significantly cooler. Where should I start to look from this point?

The baffle door in the duct work. Sounds like it is stuck in the "all cold" position. It is basically just a door that mixes the air coming through the heater core with the air coming through from outside.

Do you have an LT with auto climate? If so luckly you also has an electric blend door that has a plastic gear that often strips out. Get the dealer to look at it - they do these and will actually be cheaper.

I do have an LT, however it does not have the autoclimate. As for the baffle door, is there an easier approach to getting access tot his without having to rip out the entire dash. The Haynes book that I currently have has been useless.

on this topic...
 
mine is a 2001 Blazer and recently it started blowing a smell of coolant into the cab. worse than that - more like CROTCH and coolant. its disgusting. later it started blowing really humid, damp air into the cab - so much so that i could hardly see out of REALLY foggy windows. its winter, so i'm using the heat. but get this, the heat works. very well in fact. if i turn it over to a cooler temperature, mist starts coming out of the vents.
 
just to get around, i'm riding with all windows cracked to keep the humidity in the cab down.
 
everyone i've talked to says its the heater core. just got back from a dealership who ran diagnostics and gave me an estimate. it says that an intake gasket leaking coolant is causing heater core failure. calls for intake gasket replacement (59.83 parts and 492.00 labor), heater core replacement (137.03 parts and 492.00 labor).
 
my thing is (and i'm probably really mistaken here) that the heater core is obviously working if i'm getting heat. so why does the core have to be replaced? fix the leak, replace the intake gaskets really should be all thats needed here, right?
