If you have hot water in a new core that leaves only blend/mode doors(internal flaps). Controls/cables can sometimes bind. Adjustment could be off. Foam gaskets on them could be failing too.

Check out my recent post on adjustment at

on heater output. pull the intermediate piece between the blower and the heater core. The two flaps that you can access move together(one opens, one closes) the upper one needs to seat at the top or you won't get much, if any heat. BTDT :wink:
The foam gaskets that Petros is referring to are the ones that seal these flaps to wherever it is they seal.
