The doors in the heater / a/c box are vacuum controlled. The back of the knob has a few small hoses running to these door actuators. Maybe you have a vacuum leak somewhere that's causing this. I have a leaky lockout seal on my Superduty that causes this same problem if I have the truck locked into 4 wheel drive.

Good luck!

divit250r is right - there's a vacuum line that comes off the tee by the brake booster and runs along the back of the engine bay and goes into the firewall by the heater hoses on the passenger side.

Mine was doing the same thing. I found the hose had come unplugged in front of the fire wall in the engine bay.

Only if you want the a/c to blow out the vents. :-D

It's a little thin black piece of vacuum line. I replaced mine with rubber hose as far as I could up to the firewall.
