Heater core flushed completely.
Coolant clean with no observable sludge.
Both core hoses are hot. Two door actuators have been replaced. Do all actuators need to be re-calibrated?

Yes, when replacing any one of those motors then you need to do a calibration using an advance scan tool. Once calibration is complete, it should operate normal.

Thank you. All actuators calibrated but no change in the anomaly.
Evidently a blend door is stuck or broken. Never had this occur on any of my vehicles. Very much a disappointment in Chrysler.

I have seen broken blend doors before it happens. Before you remove the heater plenum remove the actuator and try to move the door by hand.

Check you this guide will show you what I am talking about.
