I have a hand vacuum pump that I use for bleeding the brakes and testing vacuum-powered components on the vehicle. I bought it at Al's, before it became Schuck's, before it became O'Riely's... anyway, it wasn't expensive and it has a guage. You can try to operate the heater water flow valve with a hand pump and see how much vacuum it takes to trip it. You can then hook up the pump to your vacuum line with the engine running and read how much vacuum you have. I did this to my truck and fixed the heater, the brake-boost, the 4X4-shift-on-the-fly, and I think the turbo... but I'm still learning my truck.

Could the new thermostat be in backwards?
I.e., maybe you had a problem with the old thermostat going bad, but with the new thermostat the problem went from intermittent to constant?
At least we know the heater isn't plugged....

thermostat only goes in one way. one piece unit, thermostat with housing.
i am leaning towards heater core plugging up as i had the dash apart today and all blend doors and air ducting works fine.
used compressed air and blew threw the core... heat is back for right now.
i will flush the cooling system once to warms up a bit.
will keep everyone posted
