A/C only works on one side???
I have a 2004 Dodge 2500 Diesel, 5.9, 4x4, 6 speed manual with 114k miles on it.
When I turn on the A/C it only blows cold air out on the driver's side? The passenger side just blows warm air. - I suspect this is not a problem with my A/C system itself but with the vents / duct work?
Anyone have this happen to them or see it - how do I fix this?

I'm currently working through the same problem right now myself. I found a guy Chris at www.heatertreater.net who makes metal replacement doors for the Dodge a/c system and has a video showing how to do the repairs. Your problem sounds like the "blend" door not the "recerc" door. The website does a really good job of describing the problem and the solutions.

So it sounds like I need to go have my A/C system checked first for proper pressure levels or "tuned" as a precaution before moving on to trouble shoot the blend door as the root problem.
Great explanation by the heater treater guys on how Dodge is different in the way their A/C circulates right to left verses up & down like other manufacturers - if the A/C system isn't dead on you will lose cooling ability on the passenger side. It also helped answer why I have heat on both sides but not A/C because of the HVAC design & door placement. Seems Dodge runs the same box in both dual & single climate designs - mine happens to be a single climate.
I tore my glove box out a few nights ago and noticed certain actuators moving but can't remember which doors they go to - just wasnt as educated on all the components as now. I have a hunch its the A/C system not being balanced instead of a door not working.
I'll get my A/C checked and let you guys know the outcome.

Still waiting on getting my vehicle in to get the A/C serviced first. Just havent had the time...was 107 here today with 116 heat index - I've spent many a deployments in the hot dry desert but this 100% humidity that comes with the heat out here on the east coast is bull$$$hit.
Maybe by early next week I'll have some more input.
