Heater panel problem

If I were to venture a SWAG I'd say you may have a vent system leak up under your dash panel. Ford has a pretty good furnace in their rigs - enough so that full blast is more than plenty heat for...

Also, when you go for parts, opt for the clutch kit - comes with pressure plate, slave cylinder and disconnect tool, pilot bearing and disc. The slave cylinder is also your throw out bearing.
