The one thing I found which I need to follow up on is the temp of the hose entering the firewall going to the heater one hose is warm to the touch but the other hose is not very warm.

I plan to remove the 2 hoses and see if I can blow air or water through the core. If the heater unit uses a valve it must be electric operated there is no cable like some of the old autos used.
Getting to the heater unit is a pain I need to remove part of the dash to get access.
To warm the air heat must be removed from coolant in the heater core. This means the return hose should be cooler. Maybe you have a problem with cool air mixing with the heated air?
