Well, that depends!

What is the temperature of the coolant entering the cabin ????

Have you checked the cold air damper in the mixer box (under dash)??... Philip

--look at the temp gauge. Is it normal, 1/2 way or too cool... that tells you if thermostat failed.
--feel the 3/4 inch black heater hoses going to and from the firewall. Are they hot after truck runs for 15 minutes ? If not, then heater core might be plugged somewhat and restricting flow.
--play with the heater **** on the dash.. does it move o.k., or feel like its broken ?

It would also help to know what year and motor you have.
