    My truck seems to be only putting out heat if I set it to 90 degrees. Otherwise it's cold, probably ac running, 89 down to 60.

    HJ9257 is the last 6 if anyone is interested.

    Any ideas?
     
    RocketyMan Thanks this.

    Thank you for supplying the last 6 of vin. Most likely have an issue with the plenum sticking. This is coming and happens in the HVAV suitcase.

    Do you hear any "clicking" when trying to operate between the cold and hot settings? What about when you change the blend door?

    Haven't noticed any clicking but I haven't exactly been listening for it either. That stuck plenum, is that something that I can get at easily and deal with or is it more of a mechanic thing? Don't even know where any of that is.

    So perhaps it is not the plenum issue nor blend door, but the air temp sensor to your HVAC controller. As per the S/N, your truck has the "ATC" Auto Temp Control.

    Can you check the sensor?
    It's under the dash area.
