    Hi all. I have a 2000 W900L Kenworth. I'm having troubles with the HVAC system. When I turn on the heater in the cab, it blows very weak out of the vents. Also it doesn't get as hot as it should. In the sleeper, it blows strong exactly how it should, excpet it also doesn't get as hot as it should. I had Loves replace the blower motor and the resistor for the cab but no luck. There are no leaks around the box near the firewall. The squirrel cages are in correctly. Any ideas? Heater hose? Actuator?

    Thanks

    Yes we checked all the valves. They appear to be all the way open. The technician at Loves said something about an evap system being clogged.

    Yeah all the buttons on the dash work. I can feel the air switch from the floor to defroster, etc. Its the same amount of air flow in each vent. I was thinking maybe it's an actuator, but I'm not sure because the flaps work. I can hear the blower motor working how it's supposed to but when I go inside I feel something restricting the air flow.

    Also the AC in the sleeper blows strong how it's supposed to, but it's also not as hot as it should be

    Sounds like your A/C compressor is running at same time as you are trying to get heat blowing, open hood to see if a/c comp. is turning at same time you are trying get heat blowing?

    The evaporates cores for the heat and A/C may be plugged with dirt restricting air flow. Also if you take the cover off the front where the blower motor mounts look at the rubber flap under it it may be stuck restrictions air flow. If none of those things are wrong check the coolant lines running to the core from engine. I have seen them hooked up wrong where you don't get the correct curculating coolant flow.

    Something is definitely clogging the system. Guess I'm going to have to stop by the dealership
