Default Air cond. blows weak

Hello,
The air conditioning in my 04 seems to not be blowing strong enough out of the vents. On high, you cannot feel it out the vents unless you put your hand somewhat near the vents. Back seat guys are frying...it's been like a 1000 degrees here in OK since July. I really can't tell if the air is even cold enough. It just doesn't cool the truck all that much. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Sounds like the infamous blend door failure. A search will find many, many threads on this issue. You may have other issues as well, but if the blend door is mixing outside air and "recirc" doesn't help, it'll never cool well enough. You may need some refrigerant, too.

Id check the freon and there are screens inside the dash, they may be clogged.

I'll check into those things. I probably should have searched a bit more before my question. I'll do a thorough search.
Thanks

mine did the same thing. i would have it on high flow and it barely came out the vents. took it in while it was still under warranty and i think they said it was a broken blower motor.

You "did" remove the door and not replace? Mine is/was doing the same thing. Removed the blower and found the door laying down covering half the hole up. Do you just remove it permanently or re-install it.
