May want to change the water pump. Even though not leaking. I have changed out several over the years due to no heat unless at speed it may get alittle warmer due to the impellar eroding to half of its original size & hardly pushing any antifreeze.

Wife has a 2000 Durango , also , and it take forever to get some good heat , unless it say 30 degrees or more outside. I have checked antifreeze and such , it blows air , just cool air. Temp gauge shows motor is warmed up.

thats cause it has air pocket in the heater system iv done mine i dont know how many times break the lines apart over pass valve cover take the driver side off the water pump nipple flush water through with a water hose and you will see its full of air
My 2003 does the same thing. It has rear heat and that is where the air bubbles up to. Since it is above the engine, it is hard to get rid of it. What he did was the fastest way to flush the bubble out. If you do that, make sure that you have a concentrated solution of antifreeze in the radiator and engine. To keep it from happening, NEVER let the coolant overflow tank go below the middle of the coolant dipstick. If it sucks air into the system, you will have to do it all over again. Craig
