Default No Heat

Recently I've noticed that my cars heat has been very slow to warm up. After about an hour drive today, I realized it isn't heating up at all. My air conditioning has always worked fine and up until recently my heat has worked well.

Any thoughts? Also, does anyone have any tips on getting my car ready for winter. I live in Georgia so it doesn't get to cold.

check your rad. fluid, cap, and thermostat. can you smell antifreeze? if so, it may be the heater core.

Just as prep in general, I would go ahead and flush the system. A flush kit is cheap, and only requires a garden hose. I would say your current problem is most likely a heater core issue, if you have no heat whatsoever.

Thermostat might be a good place to check, it might be circulating too much coolant so it doesnt warm up completely. Might be a good place to start....
The other thing id suggest is that it might be the heater core, but thats already been said like 3 times.
