Air switches from vent to defrost when engine under load
Several years ago my 1996 1500 starting switching the air circulation from the main vents to the defrost whenever I put a load on the engine by accelerating. It doesn't matter if the A/C is on or not, Recirc or fresh. I have NO idea what could be causing this. I have reset the computer but that didn't help. Any ideas

Here is the info for "crazy vents" or "wacky vents". Do a search and you will find a boat load of threads.
It's a common problem.

There is a vacuum line issue most likely... I had the same problem with my 1996; my mechanic told me it was one of the vacuum lines he replaced it, and it fixed my problem... If that is your problem then it is an easy and inexpensive fix. I would get that checked out before spending any big bucks...
