I'd like to not freeze if at all possible
I'd like to not freeze if at all possible
Is there anyway to get more heat? When the high temperature is a max of 28 all day and it's 13 at night..I'd like a little more heat than the pathetic amount that blows on my feat. That sound like a Chtismas poem..weird..Anyway, do they make like aftermarket blowers or anything? I guess with no SES light I don't have much to complain about anymore..thanks

Put your A/C into MAX. There's a small door to make the system recirculate the interior air. Look under the passenger's side where the air comes back in and see if there's any leaves, dust, bugs, etc. clogging things up.
Clean that stuff out and that should help move more air.
If the motor's simply not getting hot enough and the heater core is O.K., go down to the hardware store and get a sheet of pegboard. Cut it to fit in front of the radiator. Those holes will allow a uniform flow of air to the radiator but reduce it in order to get the coolant temperature up where it ought to be. You can always drill bigger holes or remove a section if the motor gets too hot.

Good thinking JRR. Big rigs do the same thing. Blocking off the radiator can also make the engine run better and also reduce emissions.
