The blend door is broke or the mechanism that operates it, or the control module itself is bad. Those 2 trucks operate differently. The 2001 has a little electric motor down by the blend door that goes bad. The 95 probably uses a cable IIRC.

Is the A/C charged? Compressor working? You didn't say, so I have to ask.

+1 on the blend door check.


(the SEARCH feature here makes thing easier, try it)

It's a rectangular plastic box on the side(towards the driver side of the heat/ac unit under the dash. Maybe someone with a later model than mine can get a pic of it for you.
