Anybody remember the CJ-5 and 7's, if you wanted to know the interior temp, just look on the bank clock. Same inside as out.In NJ, where the weather drops to 15 degrees some nights in deep winter, my Jeep gets blazing hot with only a soft top. TJ heat and even the AC, is amazing.
I bought it in August, so I guess it's always been like this. Just not a lot of driving this winter yet. It puts out lukewarm air no matter what temp it is outside, even with the motor at operating temp.Was this heat issue a problem before? How does it work at 20* temps outside?
Same here, drove around Nashville and was taking my coat and hat off. Only took about 10 minutes to get nice and toasty.16 here in the Nashville area.
went for a drive in the snow and had to turn the heat down
Ok, just wondering if it was just the below zero temps. If it’s not pushing you out of the Jeep in the twenties then there may be a problem. grab the meat thermometer from the kitchen and put it in the dash vent to get a baseline temperature for a comparison for after your repairs.I bought it in August, so I guess it's always been like this.

I think this is my first bet, do you mean the "reverse flush" for the core, or just a coolant flush?End of last winter the heater was noticeably struggling on output, flushing fixed the issue.
What was this like when it failed?I replaced the seized blower motor and the resistor last year
I have not checked that... how did you determine yours wasn't working? Do you have a link to that part?Have you checked your blend door? My 2000 door was warped and the heat and cold was not as good as it should be. I replaced the door and got my a/c and heat back. There is an aftermarket door replacement that does not require removal of the dash.
I back flushed the core. Went from I think it was around 70° output to the pics I posted. Got a nice bucket full of lovely looking coolant. My issue was I flushed the radiator in the fall, but did not back flush the core separately when I did. By the end of winter I was driving to work wearing my anorak and beaver mittens. Damn thing was never warm.I think this is my first bet, do you mean the "reverse flush" for the core, or just a coolant flush?

I think part of my problem might be that my coolant is diluted, since when I did coolant flushes using the radiator petcock instead of the block plug I probably left some of the distilled water inside the block.

Generally one of the more effective approaches to flushing the heater core is to remove the heater hoses (engine end) and make a temp garden hose adapter on one end, then run clean water thru each hose from both directions.I think this is my first bet, do you mean the "reverse flush" for the core, or just a coolant flush?
