I believe that MAX-A/C is like a recirculate setting on other vehicles ... you're heating air from inside the cab instead of outside air.

Do you have great, hot heat after the engine warms up? And it just takes a while to get there, or is it just so -so even after you finally get some heat.

You might want to change the T-stat. But if it is real cold a block heater will help of course, and so would a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator in the cold months.
