2005 Heater issue

So my heater works when I'm rolling down the highway. When I'm at about 20 mph or less it blows cool air. Also when it's just idling it blows cool air. Any ideas what i might have an issue with?

Possible water pump. The vanes can become worn down and the impeller can also intermittently slip on the shaft

look into a vacuum leak could be a with the heater controls. Possible small leak that won't allow the temp control door to pull open at low speed (vacuum)

Start with Coolant level then look at the t-Stat. Follow up here if that was the fix.

Vacuum is off an electric pump. Nothing to do with any kind of speed. If it's a diesel
