.. or is the lowest setting on our AC/Heater fan controls still too much? Sometimes I'll just barely want the heat blowing so I keep it on low and it burns me up! I wish there was a setting one lower that was about half as much power.

That's what the temp control is for

Right, but sometimes it's really cold outside and I want the maximum heat, just not blowing so hard. Smartass.

I know what you mean. When I start getting to hot I just put the blower on the floor vents and it does not feel like you are getting blown away with heat.

i get what you're saying. the low setting still heats you up to all hell.

and it's liek exponentially worse for me, having a regular cab. lol. i still haven't found that 'right' temp setting. either too cold or too hot.

i agree with steve just turn the heat down a bit. slightly colder air moving faster is the same as hotter air moving slower into the cabin. thermodynamically the same. every particle of air has a certain amount of energy it is putting into it's surroundings. if you flow more particles but each has less heat you are getting the same thign as less particles but each with more heat.

heater what is this? ill even ride with the windows cracked or down in the 40's.

i know what you mean about it being too hot but that is what the temp control is, and even though you say its COLD outside adjusting the temp control and leaving it on low fan speed will still provide a good cab temp.

i do know what you mean, but not with heat. i live in s florida so i might use my heater about a weak out of the year. but its for the cool settings...sometimes at night when its not hot i just want some coolness.....bc if you have the air off it gets like too sticky and the air feels weird, so i turn it to low and thats still freezing...so i just use the temp control and that solves the prob, prob works for heat too.
