My 99 5.2 auto is doing the same thing, right down to the temp guage but
experimenting with it on the drive home this AM I found that switching the
heat control to max AC and leaving the temp control on hot gave me good heat
out of the dash vents. Kind of makes me think I have a vacuum problem
behind the dash that controls the the flapper in the heat duct allowing
to much cold air in, or that the flapper is way out of ajustment.
