Vent air is warm???
2005 F250 6.0 When I just use the vent, the air is quite a bit warmer than the outside air. I *assume* (bad bad word) that this is not normal and a trip to the dealer is in order?

Why would you assume that? The vent air is going through the A/C and heater box, it probably does pick up some residual heat from the heater core (not much, though) If you have the automatic climate control, and you have the system on AUTO, having the system blowing through the defroster vents for a few minutes in the morning bothered me until I found out that it was normal. If it does bother you, though, I don't think the dealer or an independent shop would mind giving it a quick look over.

My vent air is very warm at first and if I'm stop-and-go driving it's warm. It is fine when the truck is traveling at a decent speed though. The hotter the ambient temps are the warmer air comes through on the vent setting. I just figure the vent air is drawn in around hot areas under the hood and it takes fast airflow to overcome the warming effect.
