The cooling system may indeed need bleeding, however, it's not unusual to experience reduced front heat output under reduced engine loads. This is especially true when it's fairly cold outside (under 30F) and when the rear heater is operating. The difference in heat output between going up a mountain pass and going down the pass is quite pronounced.
