Pressure tested the radiator and it was leaking out the passenger side seam some place. Autozone had one made by Spectre (Chinese I assume) so I purchased it and swapped it out. Hot air seems to come on when the thermostat opens now but I'll keep an eye on the heater cores performance... $130...

Update Well an update on the situation. Car overheated last night in Reno on our way back home at 11:30 pm. Was about 18 degrees outside. Heading up there to get the car this morning. Going to bring fluids, new cap, and a cooling system pressure tester. When the vehicle cooled down I noticed...
