I don't know if I can help, Lamont.  Suddenly my mind is "clouded."

If the temperature control lever (2nd one down) is all the way to the left,
and you're getting air on your feet that is hotter than the air outside, you
may have a faulty heater control valve.  It's up above the spare tire
compartment and behind the radiator.   Drop the tire and look up and you'll
see it.

Oh yeah... You do have a water cooled, don't you?  You didn't say.

Subject: air vents

Hello list .
It's 97 degrees here in North Carolina today and the hot air is coming thru
the lower air vents on both sides. Just got the van  recently so I would
imagine in the winter cold air more than likely will blow in..............
Any suggestions on how to close off the vents.
