Heater core, back-flush if it is not leaking, fixed mine for hot heat.

Mileage? If it has over 100k I can think of plenty of things for you to do!

Best advice, don't fix it if it ain't broke. That being said, make sure it is not running Dex. If you don't have the K05 RPO, add an engine block heater and a good battery. Think about upgrading to the larger AD244 alternator from a full size.
I love my little buddy cabin heater. If you don't garage yours, that it a top ten for cold weather.

All that and more is on this forum. You have much to read :wave: Welcome.

Cold as it gets up there if it were me I'd look seriously into dual block heaters one in a frost plug on each side of the motor. Ford used to have that and called it the northland special. Worked pretty well as I recall. If you wanted to go the full boat you could add a battery heater and an oil pan heater as well.
