I am not getting any heat from the heater. The truck is warmed up, and the hoses going into the fire wall( the heater hoses?) are hot. I can hear the blend door move when I changed the temperature on the EAC. What do u guys think it is?

The actuator may be moving, but the door itself is probably broken off of it.
 






so is there anyway to see if the door is opening
 






Read the blend door fix threads. Info should be there.
 






update. The other night I replace the thermostat. Had some trouble getting it in but my dad helped me. We soon filled up the antifreeze, and started up the truck, letting it get to the operating temp. I tried the heat, but all it did was blow cold air. The temperature gauge was jumping up and down, between the c and the middle of the gauge. Something wasnt right. I pressed the gas and brought it up to 4 grand, seeing if maybe the increased rpms would increase heat, Well when I did that the temperature gauge began climbing, it was about 2 cm away from the H when I shut it off. I checked the coolant and it was fine. I started it back up and still no heat, it was getting late so I put her back into my parking spot, and went inside. The next day after school I came home, after being inspired from reading the blend door thread at school. I popped the actuator motor, the blend door motor. and changed the temp from 60 to 90 and nothing happened with the motor. I tried turning the little pole with my hand but it wouldnt move. So I started the truck and changed the temperature again. This time it moved. So I made sure it was in the same position that it was when I took it off. Put it back on the turned on the heat. Well what do you know warm air was coming from the vents. After the truck warmed up, hot air was coming from the vents. I am not sure what fixed it but the heat is working now.
