A/C issues

Picked up a 2006 F350 CC LB 4x4 KR that's having a small A/C issues. If I set the temperature to anything but 60 it goes to straight heat. When it's set to 60 it is putting out some nice cold air but any other temp turns it into an oven. Any ideas? Wondering if maybe there's an issue with the blend door or vacuum pump.

the blend door determines hot or cold.

I know. I was wondering if there could be an issue with it that could cause this type of problem.

Yes. I haven't opened anything up yet but was curious if anyone had experienced or heard of a similar problem and what was done to fix it.

Pretty common, a quick search pulled up all you would want to read. This one seemed to offer what you need.

Make sure the gray hose is on the heater control valve

Vacuum control hose under the hood, very near the oil fill cap. Plugs into the heater hose to control the valve allowing hot water to the heater core.

Heater control valve is cycling and vacuum pump is working. I can't hear the blend door moving and haven't been able to find a procedure to recalibrate the doors besides unhooking the batteries. Guess I'll do that tomorrow and see if it helps. Getting real tired of working on cars recently. 2 radiators (including a new all aluminum in the truck), water pump, crankshaft sensor, and a turbo.
