I wonder if you have a blocked heater core or a malfunctioning heater valve. In other words, maybe you aren't getting enough hot water into the heater core because the heat control valve either isn't opening properly or the heater core is blocked. See if you can place your hand on, or near the heater core under the dashboard to see how how it gets. Check to see if the valve is opening. Hope this helps.

Once it is warmed up, I will take it out on the road and the temp will drop way down and I will loose heat from the dash.
I tried replacing the thermostat. That didnt do any thing. I thought maybe the fans were coming on too early, so I drove with them disconnected. That didnt do much either. I also had it power flushed. Then I thought about too much flow over the radiator and put some card board over the front of it and that seemed to help some but not enough.
I am completely baffled by this. Any ideas would be sure to help. Thanks.
