Re: ac blows on floor only
Sounds like you have a vacuum problem to the A/C control in the dash. When there is no vacuum to control the mode positions, the default is defrost and floor.
A common cause is a burned / broken vacuum line under the hood. Behind the A/C compresor. This plastic line goes to the vacuum canister. If the line is OK, then the canister may be leaking or have a broken vacuum port. If that is OK, then the vacuum line from these that goes into the truck and into the dash may be disconnected in the dash. It would be a purple hose.

Meccboy , I cannot believe such a simple solution. I have stopped in at a couple of different garages in the past week for some estimates for this repair , they were from $60 to $150. unless the problem is in the dashboard. I took your advice , the hose cost was $2.47. I am now one of the coolest cats on the block. I am eternally greatful ....................................thankyouMeccboy wrote:Sounds like you have a vacuum problem to the A/C control in the dash.

This is also a common problem on any GM truck with the 4.3L Vortec motor. That hose breaks on the Chevy vans, GMC vans, Chevy pickup trucks etc.
Very common problem with these. I cannot count how many trucks i have fixed this A/C problem on. Most of time people replace the HVAC control in the dash, when it is a very simple repair.
