do you have the monstrous rattler behind the dash, mine makes me wanna smack my dash with a baseball bat. most likely your servo motor is malfunctioning like mine.

may i ask why did you change the thermostat to begin with? was there heat before you change it? did you install the thermostat correctly-facing the right way?

ok, does the lower rad hose feel as hot as the upper rad hose? does the rad fan come on and temp gauge stays normal? if yes to both of them, then you need to check if the heater hoses is blocked/clogged. i would disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses, use a blow gun to blow inlet side of the heater core and watch the other end for coolant to come out. if you dont have air supply then use a garden hose instead, good luck.

if you have air trapped in the system your heater won't work. After you repaced the thermostat did you bleed the air out of the cooling system?

Heater core could also be a possibility but I really hope not
