Changed the antifreeze over the weekend and the heater will not work as before. Will work on low after 20 minutes or so with the recirculaiton mode selected. Heater worked great before changing the antifreeze.

First guess is that there is an air bubble in the cooling system somewhere. Bleed the whole system. There should be a valve located at the highest point of the system, open that up and run the car until coolant with no bubbles comes out.

Yup - did you bleed the system correctly using the bleed screw in the radiator?

Recommendations worked. Thanks for the advise. Heater is working just in time for the 29F degree weather we are going to get in the morning.
