CGCWO Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Anyone have an idea where I should start? AC compressor is disconnected, but would still like to get some air circulation in the cab, but no matter what position the switch is in I only get air from the defroster vents.

Eagle Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 The flappers are controlled by vacuum. You have a vacuum leak. First place to check is where the vacuum hose to the reservoir behind the front bumper passes by the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGCWO Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Thanks, much easier than disassembling the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloride Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I recently had same problem. During the reinstall of heater box, I unknowingly popped a vacuum hose 'splice' upon reassembly. It was the factory one-into-two vacuum hose splice bundled with the hoses wrapped in a loom leading up to heater/ac control on dash. To determine my problem was in the cab and not under the hood, I disconnected the vacuum hose firewall side just below the pressure bottle going to the reservoir behind front bumper and tried to pull a vacuum on hose leading into the cab. After discovering no vacuum, I broke out the cigar and blew smoke until the leak was located. That's only the second time someone has smoked in the truck since it was new.

reubj Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Mine will revert to defrost when going up a long incline. I must have a small leak somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGCWO Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Problem fixed, took about 15 mins to track down a vacuum line that was disconnected at the switch on the back of the control unit inside the dash. Thanks for giving me some direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
