I checked the heater core hoses and 1 is hot and the other is luke warm. Plus there is the faint smell of coolant inside and outside the vehicle while running. Is the heater core plugged or just shot?
I have a 96 dodge Ram van 2500. put in new radiator, since then no heat, changed thermostat still no heat.?
then you know your answer heatcore is bad or plugged if you can smell coolant most likely its leaking also replace it best choice

since you already replaced everything else it could be the heater core or maybe the water pump
Does the truck still get HOT on the gauge? check with the cap (radiator) off to make sure water is moving! look at water pump to see if it is leaking. also check the fan blade itself!
You can see if the core is plugged by removing hoses and try and blow air through with air hose. But be carful so you don't use to high of preassure! if air blows through freely then there is nothing wrong with the core, recheck the themostat, I have gotten %26quot;bad%26quot; new ones before!
you probly need to run it for an hour or 2 there is probly air in the line from being drained and it needs to work itself out
