Take the heater hoses off the water pump and blow some air through them, both directions. You'd be suprised what will come out.

If flushing doesn't work, Autozone sells a replacement heater for around $50 with a 90 day warranty. They have a $90 dollar heater with a lifetime warranty as well.

Have you exposed the heater core behind the glovebox and felt it to see if it's getting hot or not? If it's hot, could be something else.
