heating radiator system

Car is blowing warm not hot air after a new head gasket and thermostat? ?

I have a 99 Dodge Stratus and just had the head gasket and new thermostat replaced. I have to leave the heater on high to keep the car warm. The gauge is fine but just blowing warm air and stays warm and doesn't blow hot air. Thermostat?


Sounds like the thermostat needs replacing.
