no heat

Ok about 4 months ago I had to replace my water pump and now it only blows cool air. Before the change that heater would blow me out the truck. See there is a big problem with this, I now live in Alaska so I need this fixed ASAFP. Any suggestions or input will be greatly appreciated. All the vents and selecters still work. It is a 1988 F-150 4x4 with 302 and auto tranny.

Have you checked to make sure the coolant is flowing through the hoses? If coolant is flowing the hoses will be hot.

If your temperture control is working then you may have a pen or some other item that has fallen down the vent and is keeping the blend door from closing.

Your heater core is probably air locked. Remove a hose and run water from a garden hose through it until the air bubbles out. Its a typical problem.
