Hello all. I have a question relating to my Frontier. I have a 2009 V6 Frontier. I have recently noticed, and maybe this is normal, that I do not get any significant heat out of heater into cabin even after 10 minutes of idle. Vehicle temp displays engine is up to normal operating tempature. When I do drive it (after warm up) within minutes it blows hot air. So in effect, if I try to warm up vehicle to defrost etc, it cannot happen until i am moving for a little bit. I have checked coolant level and all appears well. Any suggestions????

Be sure the coolant level is up to the max mark in the
overflow tank. If it has the nipple on the heater hose
fitting on the firewall(sorry-bulkhead), you may want to
remove that and bleed any air out(this is best achieved
using a funnel that attaches to the rad fill neck and
pinching off the hose going to the overflow tank.) Not your
simple basic system of the old days!! This is why the
Titans and Armadas have a circulator pump in the heating
system. Be sure your coolant mixture is 50/50.
