How to fix a 2008 Dodge Nitro heater?
I just fixed an 08 nitro for nothing. Remove the heater core hose closest to the motor at the firewall. Cut off a piece of garden hose about 4 foot long and slip it over the core pipe, so you can flush it out. Now remove the other hose but leave the hose attached to the core. You will be unhooking it downstream on another pipe by the exhaust.
Why does my Nitro heater blow but not hot air?
When stopped at idle, hot coolant is not circulating through the heater core, so no heat. As the engine increases in rpm’s when you pull away from the light, the water pump is spinning quicker, and some coolant is making it to the heater core. So check the level, and if it is low, keep an eye on it to see if it drops again.

How do you get antifreeze out of a nitro heater?
Use compressed air to blow the antifreeze out. I used a 10 gallon air tank with a blow nozzle (rubber tip). Get some hot water from the sink and fill it up through the garden hose and repeat the blowing out. Reverse hoses every other time you blow it out. You will see sand in your milk jug at the bottom.

What does it mean when your car heater is not working?
There are two hoses coming to and from the heater core. They both should feel warm or hot to the touch with the engine on. If one of the hoses is hot, and the other one is cold, that is a pretty good indication that the heater core is clogged. If the neither hose has any heat, you may have air in the cooling system, low fluid, or low pressure.
