If your lower hose is cold then chances are either the stat is not opening or installed backwards.

Here is a diagram of how the coolant flows

I thought the coolant flowed into the heater core from the driver's side?

Before you take the big jump, take a breath,
You changed the lower radiator hose, why?
When you where filling up the radiator did you open the bleeder and let the air out as you filled the radiator?
When you say coolant came out of top of radiator do you mean the tank where the cap is?

Fill the radiator with the bleeder screw open. Keep filling the radiator until a steady stream of antifreeze/coolant is coming out of the the bleeder. Close the bleeder and top off the radiator. Start the car and turn the heat on.

Edit: When you filled the car up with antifreeze,was it completely cold? Like had not been running all day? Did it puke antifreeze immediately after you filled and bled the cooling system ?

I watch suck all coolant down cabin get warm then cold let me hear opinions going bed early that cold zaps strength
