I think, I understand your post.

Mine does that as well. It seems that a couple of full rotations of the **** are needed before it realizes that you want heat. When it engages, you can hear the doo dad go. I assume that the valve uses vacuum (the old ones did). I never have a problem when I want cold air.

Yup, my recently acquired 99 does the same thing. Damn annoying, but only annoying. My 97 Ram just never gave up the heat!

I wonder if a new controller would help.
