Ever since I changed to a 160 thermostat and installed a Mezeire WP, my heater has not been the least bit warm. I posted about this last fall and everyone told me it had nothing to do with my mods (which I think is complete horse ****). I was told to flush everything because my heater core was proly clogged. Well... I doubted this but tried it anyway... it didn't work. Mine is still blowing cold. Now I usually leave the TA parked when its cold and drive my truck.

Take it to a shop that is familair the LT1 cars and have it checked. There is a modual that controls the heat and AC. It is a cheap fix if its bad, but it is often over looked.

You probably need to flush the heater core. I doubt that the flush you had done addressed this.

Not sure what valve is module referred to, either. If referring to a heater control valve, our cars don't have one.

I guess you can always check it yourself to see if they told you the truth.
