I live in Augusta, GA where it's only COLD a few days a year. Even then, our idea of cold is warm compared to some of our friends farther north. Nevertheless, my teeth were chattering on the way home from work with the heater running full-blast (about a 10 mile drive). The heater was not putting out air anything near warm.
In cars I've owned in the past this pointed to a bad heater core. However, I put in a 160deg thermostat this past spring, so I didn't know if the low heater temp might be a side-effect of the lower than stock termostat.
I also T-boned a lady that turned left in front of me a couple of weeks ago, so if there is a way this problem could have reasonably been caused by the accident I might be able to get the insurance company to fix it. (I did get the ram-air hood out of that wreck by paying the $200 difference!) I know it's unlikey the wreck had anything to do with it, but you guys never cease to amaze me with your insight...
Any thoughts on the most likely cause of the the low heater temp and possible solutions?
