Here in chicago it has not been more than the low 80 lately yes this does
have an impact on my car like it should... Usually i turn dial to the hot

it should.... Other wise it goes all the way up well almost all the way
its like a MM before to hot.... 
What else can i check to make the heat go donwn!?!
