You need a new heater core

    This is more than a heater or radiator core problem.
    Let's assume that the radiator is full of coolant and is not blocked or the vanes badly corrodes. The thermostat has been changed, and still the engine overheats quickly.

    Check for bubbles in the coolant when the engine is reved.
    Is there any gray sludge around the radiator cap?
    Is there white smoke from the exhaust?
    Look at the oil. Is it milky or black?
    Drop dipstick oil on to a hot exhaust manifold. Does it bubble or just smoke?

    Any or all of the above suggest a blown head gasket.

Why is my 06 Jeep Commander still overheating and blowing out cold air

For the heating blowing cold
Air Lock
Low Coolant Level
Blend Door Actuators not working
Water valve not opening, some are electrically operated (fuse?).

For overheating
Low Coolant level
Air lock
New thermostat faulty
Radiator blocked
Cooling fan not running

When you put in a new thermostat, and refill the system, you have to burp the air out of it. There are videos online, but you fill the system by the radiator (are opposed to the filler bottle) and turn the heater on full to fully open the valve. Then you run the engine and keep topping it up, occasionally squeezing the bottom radiator hose. When the cooling fan kicks in, you know it is up to full running temperature. Rev the engine a few times, and turn off. Then top up one last time and put the radiator filler cap back on. Then top up the coolant reservoir to the line and put the top back on that. All done!

No heat in cab on caterpillar 299C skid loader,replaced thermostat but air still blows cold

If thermostat is replaced for that purpose and did not resolve ur issue that is assuming you took out all the air out of the cooling system/heating Need start from switching mechanism or vacuum or electric on the inside down to ur switching valve from hot to cold to be able to pin point the cause of the heated water not going in to your heating core and make sure your blower is working. Good Luck

Why does the heater blow hot air when I drive after its been idling for 15min and not during the idle when it reaches the 100 Temp?...(it blows cold air in idle)

Firstly, a thermostat that opens quicker will not give you better heat. Your heater core may be partially plugged causing a low flow issue. Another area to check would be the water pump impeller for corrosion or slipping on the shaft. Does the vehicle's cooling system operate well otherwise?

99 expedition front heat blows cold and it overheats...I have changed the thermostat, water pump, and a new radiator...any suggestions?

make sure that there are no air pockets in the cooling system this can cause cold air and overheating. if this doesn't work you might have to replace the water pump.

hope this helped
best of luck

No heat ,blows cold air

It is likely that the thermostat has failed and is stuck wide open as a failsafe. This jsut happened to me last week in my VW golf. Your engine will never come up to temperature but as long as the thermostat stays open it will not overheat either. Change the thermostat ASAP in case it the failsafe doesn't keep open and you overheat the engine.

The heat in my 1992 Jeep Wangler is not working.

The only reason it won't blow hot air is because the water is not getting to the heater core. Check to see if you have a heater control valve in one of the two lines to the heater core. If so check to be sure that is is opening and closing. If it won't open then you get no water flow in to the heater core.

You have a circulation problem, heater core may have restriction that why heat only comes when you drive ,also you may have a thermostat that stuck in the open position. Good Luck
