okay, my heating system is marginal at best...i still freeze when driving and full heat.
i have seen some examples of ceramic heaters offered online from various retailers, so question is how well do they work? |

There's something wrong with your heating system, and it shouldn't be complicated or expensive to fix. Start breaking it down. Does your blower work? If you take a hose loose at the driver's side footwell - front/top of long, it should be blowing a pretty good amount of hot air there. If it does then the problem is at least narrowed down to the dash area, vents, controls... and you'll have temporary heat in the cabin. If not, then you know it's at the back... HE connections, ducts, flappers, blower... Does the airflow change there when you move the heater flap lever?
