Heater blowing cold when idiling

I purchased a 2006 F250 6.0 powerstroke with 12k on original motor. Noticed today that my heater is blowing cold when idiling but blows hot when driving. Any advice here for what I should be looking for or concerned with.

2006 models are 6.0s bud.

U have to be 2011 and up to have a 6.7. Just FYI.

had the same symptoms when my head gaskets were blown. not saying your head gaskets are toast just saying that was a symptom of mine.
