    The heat in my rig works for about 5 seconds when i flip it on and feels nice, but then it goes cold. I've checked my coolant level and don't know what would be wrong that it works, but only for a few seconds. This tennessee winter is killing me without my heater, if anyone can point me in the right direction it'd be a lifesaver.

    1st thing I'd do- check to see if the heater valve stays open.
