Jus to update the thread...i replaced thermostat due to it being stuck open...since I replaced it my temp gauge started working again...i flushed the heater core..now I have ok heat (still not hot tho)...but only when the fan setting is on the first and second setting...even on full blast it feels waaaay cooler....other than that it runs fine

What temperature thermostat did you install? Can usually get the them from 165-195deg ratings.

Still may have some air in the system.
