Start the truck. Turn on the heater. Hold both hoses in your hands. The first one to feel warm is the inlet.

one large hose from bottom of radiator to side of water pump. other large hose from thermostat housing to top of radiator. one heater hose from water pump to heater core, I think this one has a Y in it if there is a rear heater other heater hose from heater core to somewhere on top the engine.

Why are all radiator hoses hot except the lower hose?
Lower radiator hoses in water cooled engines are return lines. The upper radiator hoses are feed lines of hot engine water to the radiator. The reason that lower hoses are cooler is that the radiator has allowed much of the water's heat to dissipate into the air. Thus, a lower radiator hose contains cooler water than other radiator and heater hose lines.

How do you troubleshoot the heater control on a 1994 GMC Sierra?
First, make sure the engine thermostat is working. Do this by starting a cold engine and holding the top radiator hose. It should be cold, As the engine heats up, the thermostat will "open" and the hose will become hot, as the water is allowed to enter the radiator. Knowing you have hot engine water, find the fitting/hose at the rear of the engine, near the firewall. This is the hot water that waits to enter into your heater core, from the engine's manifold. Next to this hose that disappears into the firewall, will be a second hose that exits and runs back to the side tank on the top of the radiator. This is the return hose from the heater core. With the heat selector in "off", the return hose will be cool or cold. Selected to "Hot", the water will pass through the "now open" heater valve, through the core and back to the radiator. This makes that return hose warm/hot. Turning the selector back to cool will close the valve, and the return hose will cool. This is a non invasive method to check the valves ability to open & close IF the selector and it's control lines are working. The valve may not be receiving instructions from the selector. Another problem entirely.
