What would cause a 98 dodge 1500 4x4 heater to blow luke warm air?

* Low coolant level: If the coolant level is low, the heater core will not be able to absorb enough heat from the engine to warm the air flowing through it.

* Faulty thermostat: A faulty thermostat may not open completely, restricting the flow of coolant to the heater core.

* Clogged heater core: The heater core may be clogged with debris, preventing air from flowing through it and absorbing heat.

* Faulty blend door: The blend door may not be opening or closing properly, preventing warm air from flowing into the cabin.

* Faulty blower motor: The blower motor may not be working properly, reducing the airflow through the heater core and preventing warm air from circulating through the cabin.

* Electrical issues: Faulty wiring or a blown fuse may prevent the heater from receiving power, or the switch that controls the heater may be malfunctioning.
