Angry Poor heat

Got a 92 F150 w/ 5.0l stick w/ a/c... heater output has been less than desirable.

Here's what's been done:


Rad replaced- leaking, went with 2 row from orig single.

Core replaced 3 yrs ago same time as new motor & wp

T-stat- replaced & tested bef install

Getting nothing more than a trickle of coolant flow to the core. Core is not plugged. CHecked oper of vacuum doors in plenum- OK. Truck is not running any cooler than it ever has.

I am about to give up here...any ideas??

Air bubble restriction? I had this same problem- at the last cooling system flush I was very careful to refill and the problem has not recurred. Try driving up and down a very steep hill to help dislodge it.
