HAve you tried looking at the heater core? Can you smell any antifreeze? I would suggest pulling your heater core and looking for any sign of leaks. If you see any discoloration on the core itself, change it.

a few other things too:
there is a heater control valave for the hot coolant flow to the heater core..near firefall on pass side of engine compartment..it may be stuck.

next is heater control rod mech. to that valve

plugged core from minerals, etc.

water pump gong bad...is temp rising more than normal?

good luck
al
