the antifreeze might be to strong and froze - therefore no heat.

Does the blower motor come on? I would start with a new thermostat.

Oh my no heat normally = BAD thermostat! What happens is it's probably stuck ,if the coolant level is ok ,change the thermostat .Since that is obviously ur fan is blowing cold air inside.Start there and it should fix the issue,unless u have other cooling issues aside from that,which I doubt.IF u do change it I would recom a cooling flush while ur at it.

Yep, to weak would make it freeze. And cause all sorts of other problems. I doubt that's the problem. Change the thermostat and buy some prestone cooling system flush. Should help.

Running too much coolant in a mix will cause it to jel.

Yup.. Best to run it 50/50.. Too much or too little coolant is a bad thing..
