heater taking for ever

Ok the heater is blowing like the AC its on 90 auto through the vents it'll warm up but no 90* maybe highest 80* but it gets like that when I've driven about 20 min any suggestions

Drive more! And faster! But don't forget to bundle up.














Have you checked and or flushed your coolant lately? This could be caused by a low coolant level or by buildup in the heater core. If it's a gen 2 it may be the blend door. Check those things and report back. More help to follow I'm sure by those more knowledgeable than I.
