So the other day I decided I would take my truck to a big coal silk puddle..bad idea. I was stuck like that for and hour and a half untill i got someone to pull me out. I know it dont look bad but silk is horrible for traction. This guy got his f150 stuck right in front of my truck in 4 low. Now the air vents inside the cab only blow out the defrost, no mattter what setting its on...it happened right when i got bogged down in the puddle...any idea?

You need to change the fluids in your front & rear differentials. They have water in them for sure.

This is FAR more important than the HVAC.

I wish I knew, hopefully somebody chimes in.

Or the ball is cracked ...


The Defrost thing is definitely a vacuum issue (without vacuum applied to the air door, airflow is routed to the defroster vents)

If the vacuum accumulator ball is OK - chase the vacuum lines:

• With the engine running, one line to the ball should be providing vacuum
• If you get no vacuum there the leak or disconnected line will be on the engine side of things
• If you've got good vacuum - pushing smoke into the "other" line will cause the break or disconnected part to leak smoke making it super-easy to find/fix
• of course, if you're luck is like mine, both vacuum circuits could be compromised

For 1998~2000.5, vacuum from the reservoir ball is shared between the Pulse Vacuum Hublock system and the heat/AC controls. I'll bet that your PVH mod has something to do with the loss of vacuum to the HVAC.

idk if that would have anything to do with it because I did that mod a week before it stopped working. It was instant, like right when i got in the puddle it would only come out the defrost

What I'm thinking is that a vacuum line may have disconnected or melted against the exhaust manifold or something like that as a result of the mod. I'd take a close look at it.
