well generally the prob with no heat is clogged heater core but yours is new how old is it?
next cause is that little restricter on your heater core line. You cant just pop it off and check it though because its crimped on you can try and back flush the heater core to get any crap out of the lines and any thing that might have made it into the new core. other then that there is really no reason you have no heat unless you have like a 160 stat

the restricter is on the heater line about a foot from the water pump just follow the line from the water pump and its a black plastic thing on the line
but I'll say its the 160 stat thats giving you problems try swapping it out for a 180 should make a world of difference

Its between two crimped fittings but i wouldnt worry about that right now as having a 160 stat will allow for basically no heat when mines at 160 I get barely a warm breeze If you want to see if you get heat once it warms up more you could pull your fan relays and let it heat up just make sure you pay attention to the gage
