Ken,
If you decide to try it yourself. Fine out which heater hose is the
outlet side and which is the inlet to the heater. Disconnect both and use a
garden hose to back flush the heater core. Put the hose on the outlet side
and flush it TO the inlet side. You may have flakes of rust stopping up the
inlet side of the core. DO NOT use too much pressure or you could cause the
core to leak. Always use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water of the
recommended type by Dodge. Any higher mix gains you nothing. Dodge cooling
systems are prone to a bad rust problem anyway. Pure water is a real killer,
it'll rust the water pump impeller out in just a few months.
If you don't choose to do it yourself find a reputable raditor shop
that will do it for you. Explain to them that your heater is the problem and
ask their advice.
