Any recent cooling system work? When was coolant last changed? Any leaks? Wonder if you have air in the system blocking flow thru the heater core.

Do not know if a 2005 user 100% electric controls for the heat & A/C ? Or if some of the controls were still vacuum operated ?

If vacuum operated , you may have a vacuum leak or something similar ?

I drive a 2008 Silverado company truck & pretty sure it is all electric / electronic .

Any check engine lite codes ?

God bless

Did you check your coolant level? That's the most common cause.
