Crew Cab Heat
I have an 01 F350 crewcab, and the kids are always freezing in the back while we roast in the front. Just looking for some tips on a good solution for heat in the back, under seat or something, thanks

I wish I had an answer. One of my F150's is a 2001 and has a vent under the drivers seat that blows back towards the rear seats. Same on the passenger side. It is about 6 inches long and about 1/2 inch tall. I don't know if the heavier trucks had that feature. I know it came loose and I had to reattach behind the dash, since it was a plastic to plastic situation, I put it together and then used very short self tapping screws to set it so it would not viberate back loose.
I am sure someone else will have a better answer or solution.

Thanks, I was hoping for easy, but I think the best option I have found is the Maradyne 4000 which is just a separate heater that you plumb into your cooling system. It is about $200. I think I can mount it behind the back seat.

I know the later ones have ducting to the rear seats, but I'm not sure when they started it. My '08 had it, as well as my '11.
On edit:
You can see the ducting in the later trucks in this thread:

Now that are weather here is finally cooling down I noticed the same problem the other day on a trip out of town. My wife and mom were cold in the back seat while my dad and myself were roasting in the front seat.

Use the "vents" as opposed to the "floor"... also, turn the vents upward and the air will flow to the rear of the cab.

Crew cab heat
We had the opposite problem, the ac took forever to cool the back of the truck during high temps 100+. I would use the front center vents but close down the ones near the doors. This would push more air between the seats toward the back of the truck. Then we mounted a small 12volt fan on the center consul with velcro, this gave the people in the back some control of the direction and volume of air flow. If I needed to open the center consul the fan could be easily removed. This should help with warming up the truck and the fan was less then $20.
