I get hot air from my heater when it’s on the lowest
fan speed setting. If I turn it on a higher speed, cold
air comes out

Sounds like the heater core is clogged. On low speed the air moving through the heater core is able to pick up more heat from the warm (not hot) heater core. When higher speeds are selected the air doesn't get a chance to pick up as much heat as it is rapidly passing through the heater core. Hope that helps! Jim

Thx. I’ll try that first without a coolant flush yet.
