i have a 98 sable, it takes forever to heat up. i drive about 15 mile to work and the only time it gets warm is when pulling a hill. i've replaced the thermostat, water pump,flushed system. its better but not right.it gives good heat whenever it does finally warm up.

What is the temperature rating of the thermostat? How cold is the climate?

Do you have a block heater?
