Heater issue

I have read some post about heater cores. I got my hoses off and flushed thru the return and supply side of the heater core. No issues and I didnt get any scale out. For some reason I cant get heat in the truck. I put a new blend door actuator in and a new vaccum motor. Anything else I should check?

Do you have a vacuum-controlled flow valve in your truck? Some do, some don't.

If the grey vacuum line comes off, the flow can be shut off. Sometimes, the lever to open/close the valve breaks.

Yes I do. I pulled the hose off then put it back on. I watched the valve open too. While part of the hose was off, I ran the truck till the valve opend and saw flow. Maybe a air flow door is stuck? Im draining the whole aystem and putting in new fluid this week.
