I spent a cold winter driving to work. I get a small amount of air and
heat that keeps the windshield from frosting. But, I have a blanket over
me and gloves on and still freeze. I replaced the heatercore, heater
hose, radiator x2, thermostat! What is left? (I know a new vehicle!)
Thank you.

Could be the heater control valve (controls the amount of water coming
to heater core ) and or the blend door not opening or closing fully.

HTH, Rick
