Hi!
It appears we have an Air lock scenario and you will need to perform a system Bleed.
Park the vehicle on level ground, when cold remove coolant filler cap, start engine and leave to idle, turn heater on full and blower to max. When engine reaches operating temperature watch and listen near coolant filler, keep clear as gurgling and hopefully a boil over should occur. Top up with very warm coolant and wait as it may do it again.
Check for heat inside vehicle if warm replace coolant cap but keep an eye on temperature gauge as the ~Air lock may have moved on from heater matrix/core so proceedure needs to be carried out again from COLD.
If persistent boil ups/over attention must made in the cylinder head
or gasket area, or possibly water pump?

Heater blowing cold air. I have checked coolant, flushed heater core and replaced actuator. still blowing cold air. Where do I go from here

The water in the radiator must be hot. The hot water must flow through the heater hose to and through the heater core and back to the cooling system. Blockage in the hoses or an inoperative valve will prevent the heating. You might try loosening the return hose to verify that the water is flowing into the heater core and back out. Try this before everything gets too hot or disconnect the input and output hoses and blow compressed air through the system to be sure there are no obstructions. All switches and levers must be set to heat, and all valves open to permit hot water flow. Good luck. Hope this helps a little.

My front defroster does not work but the back heater works.. if the van is running it will heat up but when you start driving the gage goes back to cold it blows cold but defroster wont work at all

Change the thermostat. Follow the top radiator hose to the engine. There is to T stat. That will get your heat back. on the defroster, it doesn't blow out air? doesn't switch vents? or just not get hot? Year make and model please.

My heater isn't blowing hot air in a 98 Dodge ram 1500 quad cab. A/C works good and the heater only blows cool air. What could be the problem?

Your heater core is bad or the thremostat is stuck out. I would just get a new thremostat put in it 7 buck.

Heater blowing cold air, 4 babies really need heat....

Your heater core could be blocked. Check the hoses going to it on the inside of the engine compartment. There will be 2 5/8' heater hoses going into firewall adjacent to one another. The tempature of these hoses should be almost the same after your van has reached normal operating tempature and your temp select switch is on hot(heat). If not it's a good idication your heater core may have some blockage in it. You would then have to flush it out or replace it. Hope that helps.
