Opinions?
Okay, so the heat was fine before you changed the pump and thermostat? Not to discount 78F350 but I would venture that the heat issue has something to do with the pump and/or thermostat. General rule of thumb; look at what you last did before the issue arose. Air in the system, coolant level, DOA faulty thermostat or pump could all be part of it. Some questions; Does the temperature get to ~180 F? Does it say there? Does it rise and/or fall when the heater is activated?
