Heating and AIR
Heating and AiroN MY 1992 FORD F250 7.3L I CAN HEAR THE BLOWER RUNNING ION THE HEATER. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP BECAUSE BARELY ANY AIR IS COMING OUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU PUT IT ON BUT THE AIR IS HOT. THE SAME THING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING AND ITS COLD. THE MECH TOLD ME THAT THE BLOWER WAS RUNNING BUT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE DASH(I DONT REMEBER WHAT ITS CALLED) THAT GETS CLOGED AND THEY HAVE TO SCRAP IT TO LET THE AIR THREW. I HAVE WORKED ON SOME CARS A LITTLE BUT NEVER TAKEN A DASH OFF. THEY WANT $300 JUST TO TAKE THE DASH OFF AND NOT INCLUDING WHAT ELSE IS WORNG. 1ST ARE THEY RIGHT IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE DASH THAT YOU MIGHT NEED TO CLEAN. 2ND IS THE DASH HARD TO REMOVE OR IS IT BETTER TO GIVE THEM THE MONEY TO DO IT. IVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR 6 MTH AND JUST FIXING STUFF PROBABLY PAID $3,000 OR MORE.

I would remove the blower motor from out in the engine bay and see if you see anything in there like leaves or other debris. Vacuum it all out if you see anything.
Then I would pull the heater core out. A couple of screws pulls the glove box and a couple more open up the heater box. There is probably a bunch of leaves against the heater core that is not letting the air through.
All that is only about an hour of work on my 86, yours may be some different. But 300 dollars worth of different.
