That would be my first guess. Disconnect the hoses and try flushing the core to see what comes out. jim

Has this condition existed all along or just newly discovered? Does the factory cabin heater core work as it should?
I'd find a way to measure line temps at the rear core both in and out. Flushing the core isn't a bad idea, can't hurt making sure its clean.
Increasing temps that follow engine RPM's could be restricted flow, low coolant or simply the way the lines have been connected to and routed to the engine cooling system.
With the proper thermostat my '03 with after market rear heater tends to put out enough heat even at an idle, both heaters working at the same time.
