Problem with my heater outlets

When I switch it from AC to heater the hot air still comes out of the AC outlets (on the dash) instead of down by your feet or the defroster outlets. It use to do this and it fix itself before.

Check under dash and make sure all cables are still connected to ac controller. Also check other end of cables that go to heater box under dash and under hood. May also check all vacuum hoses as well

Talking Re: Problem with my heater outlets

The flapper cable is the one mounted on the floor vent housing. Make sure it's operating. The flapper will get old and start falling apart after years of operation also.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Same problem on my '72 Blazer. The flapper valve inside the heater box isn't moving correctly.

Re: Problem with my heater outlets

you might check to make sure your cable that controls the flapper door is adjusted correctly. also depending on the a/c system you installed you may be able to remove the section of plastic where the flapper door is and make sure there is nothing stuck in the door/in the way of the door completely closing. both are common problems.
