Is the heater discharge air hotter than it used to be?

To be honest... I really couldn't tell ya. It has been since last winter when I used it last, but yeah... it is for sure hot!!

One small update on this though since I posted... We had to make a trip to Wally-World and to test the cap, I placed two layers of Plastic Wrap around the bottom side of the cap. This way, it would completely cover the threads, seal and everything.

It actually worked! After a few minutes idleing, I could rev the engine and see the coolant in the reservoir swoosh around, which had not been happening. Also, the low speed fans kicked in two times and was able to cool the engine down from M to just below R. We took off to Wally-World and the engine cooled down to O! With no heat on!! But it was short lived though... After a few miles, the temp raised back up to M, so I cut the heat on.

I feel sure it is the cap now!
