Process of elimination here . Flush/fill radiator if you have not done in the last 3 years. Change Thermostat (might not be opening or closing ) Make sure your coolant level is not low.
Once the coolant is verified to be full, feel the heater hoses that go to the firewall. With the engine at normal operating temperature, BOTH of the heater hoses should be hot to the touch. If only one is hot, this indicates there is a blockage in the heater core or there is air trapped in the heater core preventing proper flow. I remember a friend years ago complaining about the same problem with his Yukon but it was in the 2nd row airflow. GMC did have a recall on that problem.
