does anyone else out there have heater problems on their dodge dakota? My dakotas heater works as well as a bag of rocks. Its a 93 year model clubcab. The only way I myself have been able to put heat in it was to reverse the vaccum lines to the indoor outdoor air door so that the heater recycles cab air. And I also use a secondary heater that wire into your battery which is originally made to supplement the car heater to heat up back seats faster. It heats the cab somewhat over a long period time, but not good enough to my standards. Does anyone has a bright idea as what to do to make the original heater work better than I have now?

instead of just replacing the heater core try backflushing it first. heater core clogging has been a documented problem on here and backflushing works most times.

the first owner replaced the heater core with a metal one several years ago and I have back flushed it several times going backward then forward and repeating the process over and over recently. It still didn't fix it. I have pulled the dash out to actually look at the core and I noticed the the airflow coming from the blower motor has to do a 90 degree turn before it gets to it. You think that has something to do with it? Because I also have noticed that I get alot more airflow through the A/C and much less from the heater side. And if it does have something to do with it do you have any ideas in how to fix that?

have you looked at the dash "Slide knob" to make sure it is going 100% all the way to heat?
remove it and check everything
had an older dodge with problems as you described
what i found was even though the knob was all the way to heat it was still not working the cable all the way
i replace the panel (knobs) and cable and
problem solved
