No air through dash vents

Had truck to the dealer twice and they can't fix the problem. Works for an hour on the road then only defroster air and air below the dash. Any ideas... Help

Gary;

I had this problem and was the control valve that operated the air door in the heating and a/c unit under the dash. The check valve on the vacum pump had disintergrated and had let oil get into the valve. the valve had to be replaced and the check valve.

Had it happen on my 96 and the dealer fixed for free on a recall, I think its #720 but check out Fritz's Rampage it has all the info.
There is no mileage restriction and a 7 year time limit on this recall. Have no idea what truck you have but maybe yours will fall into the right range.
Good luck.

Just another possibility. The vaccum actuator that moves one of the little doors in the duct work under the dash. Check the linkage fron the dashpot to the lever on the duct door mine has come off twice! Seems that a little bit of the plastic lever has broken off allowing the linkage to slip off sometimes . Have not come up with a permanent fix as of yet . For now I just snap the lever back into place and it works for quite a while . Hope this helps.
