sounds like you need to replace your heater core. Had to do this twice on my 77. Probably alot harder on a new truck though. If you put that radiator stop leak in it probably wont fix it. I'd flush the radiator to get rid of that stuff if you did.

you need to replace the heater core if it is bad, bars leak is more of a band-aid. it will get you home, but it is not meant to be the repair.
