I have done a bit of looking around, and I think I found a description similar to the problem I am seeing.
I just wanted to make sure that the problem is the one it seems you guys indicate it is.
When I got into the truck for the first time I tried the heating and cooling systems they both seemed to work just fine.
I tried the heat first and it blew hot when the truck warmed up, then I switched it over to AC and it blew cold.
I turned off the truck for a few minutes and it has been hot, regardless of the position of the temperature control, ever since.
When the blower is on it is very hot.
When the heater is shut off it bleeds a little bit of hot into the cabin.
This isnt much of an issue for now as it is starting to get cold here.
In late winter and spring I am really going to want to be able to control the temperature at will.
Next summer I would like to use the AC.
Does this sound like the problem where the door on the heat exchanger get stuck in one position or another?
Can someone link me to a thread where a fixes are discussed?
What is the cost/time of fixing this problem?
Thanks in advance for your replies
