Now that it is winter again I was curious to see what everyone thought of their Heaters output. Mine never seems to get all that hot, more like a luke warm feeling. The dealer said it feels about normal? How's yours for heat?

Im happy with mine. Sometimes all of the sudden it will get down right hot for a short period of time, but then return to a comfortable level. Ive havent been cold yet
Mines not super hot either (compared to my old truck anyway), but the cab does get plenty warm in time. When it's really cold though I usually have to crank it to the highest or second highest fan setting to get the cab heated to any sort of comfort level or in any sort of real time before I reach work. Oh and work is a 15 minute drive.
in 30 degrees the other day mine heated the cab to "Miserable" in under 5 minutes... I was very happy... but since it only gets in the 20's for about 10 days a year in Gainesville, FL, I wouldn't care anyways!

When I went wheeling last saturday we had both the driver and pasenger side window down ALL day in 23 degree weather. And I actually had to turn the heat down/off a few times because it was too hot.
As Sethmark put it...mine will melt you.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention that I have a remote start. I have no clue how long it takes to warm up, but my remote start is set to turn the truck back off after 12 minutes. When I go out, it's usually off and when I get in, it's plenty warm. Unless of course it's below 0.
I usually end up driving around with the window open and the heat on the one or two setting. Once the truck is up to temp in about 3 minutes, I begin to roast.
