Doesnt blow really hot air like it should...

Hey guys its been a while since I've been on...
So I'm thinking that maybe its not the heater core? Just because I feel the heater hose from the engine going into the cab, and then I feel the hose coming out of the cab and they feel like the same temperature. They are both hot enough where I cant hold my hand there for long. I cant remember the temp the truck runs at but its just a bit hotter then the middle line.
Could it be a problem with the divider system behind the turn thermostat in the cab somewhere?
Or maybe I need a different thermostat in the engine?
Thanks

Recirculate
my 97 1500 does the same damn thing. I've flushed it. I've replaced the thermo etc etc. I find if I put the vent setting on the recirculate the cab air mode instead of defrost or vent or floor etc I get nice hot air, cab stays warm, windshield defrosts / defogs. I also hear the water running like your trucks. I have no clue what the problem is, but at least for my truck putting it on the recirculate setting keeps me warm. I live in the Northeast too so I can understand you needing the truck to be warm!

I would try back flushing the heater core first. Doesn't have to have a lot of mileage for corrosion to build in the cooling system. Sometimes non use can be just as bad in many ways for a vehicle.
