2005 GMC Sierra heater blowers work fine but only blows cold air until you start into a good continuous acceleration. It blows cold though no matter how long the truck sits idle after cranking. Never done this before in 3 years ownership. What could the problem be?

Check the coolant level in radiator. if its low it will only circulate while driving, and not while idling. May also be a bad water pump. See a professional for that.

Why does a/c only blow whil vehicle is in motion?

you have a problem with the heater/a/c controls there obviouly stuck on a/c you will need to strip out the control panel to see why the direction/vent , hot/cold , fan speed controls are not working , before doing this have you checked the fuses as there may be a seperate fuse for the control panel ,if this all checks out take to an a/c specialist as you dont want to mess around with a/c gasses etc

2005 gmc sierra. blower does not work on any setting but i can feel temperature settings work right at the vents. want to diagnose my blower. where do i start?

First check that the blower has power to it and when turned on a varying ground signal when the speed switch is moved between the speeds. You will need a DVOM to test this.

My 2005 chevy avalanche only blows cold air until i drive then when I stop cold air Agian

One of two things has happened. Either your coolant has gotten really low (easy enough to check) or you heater core is starting to plug up.

I have a 2005 GMC Sierra regular cab. 4.3 v6 The heater has only been blowing cold air. Checked coolant and replaced the thermostat. No change. AC worked fine this summer. Heat worked fine last...

sounds like you have a bad temperature door actuator. This is a motor that connects to the door and uses inputs from the sensor in itself and the heater control module to open the door from hot to cold. I does take some knowledge on recalibrating this actuator and installing it. if it isn't install correctly it could damage the new part, so just take care

2005 GMC Sierra 1500 - heater blows, but only cold air

Check coolant level. Check for heat at the heater hose going from water pump to heater core at firewall. Check to see that cable is moving coolant control valve from the closed to open position. Low mileage so it shouldn't be plugged heater core.
