Heat not very hot

[alan6271]

I am new to the club (will be joining December 7) but I'm hoping I can pick a few brains.  Now that it's really cold out I've been trying to get heat out of my jeep and its lukewarm at best.  Here's what I've done:

1.  I've found that the air didn't blow on the floor at all.  I found a vacuum line off one of the vacuum thingys that changed the direction of airflow.  Now that works.
2.  I flushed the heater core.  What came out was not too dirty at all.  Looked like antifreeze.  I was able to blow through the large hose and could feel it come out of the small hose so there shouldn't be any obstructions.

The temp gauge reads 210 so I don't think the thermostat is the problem.

I can turn the cool/heat dial and feel the temperature change from luke warm to cold.  The little electric motor everyone talks about freezing up must we working if it changes the temperature.

Any suggestions as to where to go next?

As a follow up.  Has anyone removed the blend door actuator and physically turned the blend door with a pair of pliers on the little white spacer/grommet?  I took my actuator off and it turned extremely hard.

Sounds like it's time to sell it to someone else in the spring

I might be interested in selling a blend door in the spring.  That's about it. 

I have to have a Jeep to be part of this group and you guys are so awesome...........Can't sell the Jeep!
