Climate Control

Having quirky issues with my climate control unit.When I change the air flow control from defrost to dash ducts or floor it doesn't always work.When I start the truck after it has been set on dash ducts It will be set on defrost.After changing it might take several minutes to change over.Or not at all.I have checked all the vacuum hoses no leaks detected.I'm stumped any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Get your hands on a vacuum gauge and see
how much how much you have and how fast it
leaks down.
