Little heat at idle...
I found this out in my 02 many years ago. The tstat is an item that I try to use the OE versions in all my vehicles. Maybe superstition in some cases but they always work.- ltd02

I've never heard a wheel bearing rattle. Get under there and start wiggling stuff.- ltd02

Slow Cranking
Resting at 12.3V would be marginal. A good battery should be 12.6 or higher if fully charged. Your alternator reading sounds good so I'd say you are right to get the battery tested. You could run it a bit or charge it fully, then disconnect the cables and check it next day too. If it stays at...- ltd02

power steering leak
I had a leak in my 05 where the reservoir connected to the pump. Ran down to the bottom and tough to tell where it came from. It was a nicked O-ring.- ltd02

What did you do to your jeep today?
Hmmm, I don't remember either side being difficult. You should mess with a FWD Pentastank. Can't even change the plugs without removing the intake and many other things.- ltd02

Blend door or heater core problem?
I can't tell for sure but my gut tells me the door is closed in the cold direction. Meaning you should have very little heat. Can you get something hook shaped (maybe a pick) and GENTLY try to move the flap while cycling the switch? I really have no idea how you'd check the switch unless you can...- ltd02

KK - Passenger Heater Blend Door Actuator
I had a defrost only issue in my 05 and it was at the switch behind the bezel. One of the lines (vacuum) was not connected. No vacuum to move anything. The default is the defrost for safety reasons.- ltd02

KK - Passenger Heater Blend Door Actuator
I could be wrong so maybe the KK is different. The KJ blend door is controlled by a small electric motor and just controls temp via mixing. Like Bill said the direction or function is controlled by a different vacuum actuator mechanism. Some people call this a "blend" as well but it really just...- ltd02

KK - Passenger Heater Blend Door Actuator
Not exactly sure what the problem is, temp or direction? Blend door just controls temp not direction. I never had a KK but I thought Chrysler got less stupid with them and the blend door actuator is accessible without pulling the dash. You need to find someone who knows or a reliable diagram...- ltd02

Blend door or heater core problem?
Doubtful you'll see anything but wouldn't hurt to watch while you're listening. My 02 made a distinct buzz when the motor worked. Mine failed slowly. The door defaults to cold when the engine is shut off. The motor worked fine in that direction but would stick going from cold to warm. finally it...- ltd02

Blend door or heater core problem?
What year are we talking about? You should be able to hear the motor working when you move from hot to cold or vice versa. Get you ear up to the dash and see if you can hear a buzz.- ltd02

I like your choice of replacement. Could be worse, I replaced mine a while back with a Rav4...- ltd02

Cold bottom radiator hose - where to start?
Not sure what the heater hose route looks like on a KK but the water pump and I think timing cover on the KK and KJ are the same. The hose that comes off the timing cover higher and closer to the water pump carries coolant to the heater core inlet. Maybe you can trace that back to the firewall...- ltd02

Cold bottom radiator hose - where to start?
Like uss2defiant said, probably the tstat or WP. Tstat is easy but WP not so much. I'd still make sure it's not just air in the system. Why it isn't overheating? Maybe you caught it just in time. Some component in the system could be in the process of failing so maybe Tstat is partially opening...- ltd02

No power to the ignition starter fuse holder slot in the fuse box under the dash.
