Default another HVAC problem. Help!

Heat blows nice an warm. AC blows nice and cold. Air comes from what ever position is selected (floor, panel, defrost).. only problem is it doesn't blow very hard no matter what position it blows out of. At full fan speed I can hardly feel it. Any input is greatly appreciated

Could also be your speed control switch in the dash. Not sure, just a guess. Maybe it's stuck on the lowest speed setting?

Well if it does not blow in the in any position it would be a blower motor resistor. If it blows the same speed in all positions it would be the blower motor or the speed selection switch.

Where is the speed selector switch and how hard is it to access? Thanks!

9 times out of 10 it's the resistor which is screwed into the blower motor.

Well I forgot to mention that I can select the speeds and I can hear it blowing harder when I put the fan on max. But I started the truck this morning and it seemed to fix itself. It now blows hard through the vents, floor or defrost. Strange.

In that case a lot of times it's crap up in the fan blades. I've seen a lot of things stuck in those fans. A mouse one time. It was all smooshed and nasty.
