Blend door

[SuperDutyBob]

Have a '99 F250 with 96K miles.
Due to a luke warm heat problem, I need to get at the Blend door.
We have traced down to that for sure.
My question is....anyone here know if I remove the glovebox, can I reach the blend door...just want to open it all the way.

thanks

If its like a F150 you will have to remove the dash and take the top off the heater box .....

Yeah--that is pretty much what we did to get at the blend door.
A buddy of mine was able to put a screw in there to hold the blend door wide open.
Now I have warm, glorious, comfortable heat!
And the fan still works and the air flow director still works....

all is good!

When summer time gets here it wont blow ac cuz the blend door will be open, you know that right?

Number 1---Truck does not have A/C....we are in New Hampshire...northern part. Our winters are a good 6 months long and our summers don't get as hot or as humid as most states.
Number2---although the fan control does not have an "off" position--the air flow director does and with that in the off position--there is dramatically less heat....should be OK in the summer that way and windows down and shirt off. Plus I have 2 other vehicles to drive in the summertime.
