Vents

On a 03 the vents on top the dash by the side window is for defrost? I can't tell on mine when the most air comes out of it on defrost or panel.

Carefully check all the vents under the dash. also see of the door in the vents is operating properly. Maybe get a chilton service manual for your rig that may help.

In my truck on defrost, probably 90% of the air goes to the windshield, the rest gets split between the 2 sides. They really don't blow much.
