Heat seems low
The heater when turned all the way up, is warm at best. The dial feels spongy when it gets to the full heat setting, turning all the way left it hits a hard stop, but turning it to full right, it feels springy.
Heater core or heat dial issue?

What's the water temp gauge on your dash say? Could be a stuck thermostat (like it was on mine). That would be the best, because the Tstat and gasket are like $10 and maybe 30-60 minutes labor (all said and done).

Hmmm, wonder if you have a low temp thermostat installed. I think the stock tstat is 195*F. I'll have to look at my gauge and see where it settles.
When the engine is hot and the heat is on, do the hoses to your heater core feel hot?

Didn't see what year your truck was but on my 93 there is a cable adjuster behind the glove box. On mine you squeeze or pry the thing that holds the cable in place and that will allow the cable to go one way or the other. I have a picture of it somewhere but your truck might be different. That spongy feeling is how mine was and the **** would stop about 3/4 the way to hot
