Hi and welcome to FTE! Be sure to read this to help you around this site: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=300691 There are also State, Provincial and International Chapters located near the bottom of the main forum page.
I am assuming the problem is with your 1997 F-150... So I will move this thread to the 1997-2003 F-150 forum. I hope they help you out.
See ya on the boards!

P.S. Your thermostat could be stuck open causing it to not heat up.

It could be fine but not necessarily. A thermostat can stick either closed (which would cause overheating) or open (which could cause over cooling).
Most vehicles (at least newer ones) tend to have the arrow pointing to or near the middle. If it is near the bottom of the range the thermostat is probably stuck open.
Thermostats are fairly cheap and would be the first thing I would change. I would also recommend getting a Motorcraft (Ford) one. They have a tendency to work better (at least in my experience).

I would think that would be the problem. They are cheap and easy to replace and something that will eventually need to be replaced anyway.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
