Sounds like a Vacuum leak.. preventing the blend doors from directing air to the heater core.

Can you move air from Vents to Floor to Defrost and so on ?? Fan speeds working.

4X4 ?

I'd still suspect a Vac leak... Or, the Heater Core is plugged. If you take the Glove box out.. you can purdy much see all the controls that operate the HVAC systems.. yul just have to troubleshoot.. for kinks & leaks ?

Anyone else on SDD got any Ideas :dunno

I think First Ford has it right, more coolant. You can't get heat if you don't have something to carry it to the heater.

Stuck open t-stat??


My stat was stuck open on my old 6.9, could not get heat either. Had to put cardboard in front of the radiator till I got home from the mountains and changed it.

So check for coolant level, and check that engine is heating up
