The truck has two evaporator cores one for the front unit one for the rear unit also two expansion valves, one for the front one for the rear.
check the large a/c line going to the rear unit if the line is warm with the A/C compresser running replace the rear expansion valve.
if the line is cold then replace the rear units blend actuator motor. if the frount unit is cold then most likely the blend actuator is the problem, remove the cover from the rear unit and you will see the actuator mounted on the side of the air handler box.
the best way to indentifie the unit is to buy one so you know what your looking for.
let me know if there is any thing else you need.
thats them one will be smaller then the other you want the large one it will be cool to the touch the small one will be hot and can give you a good burn if the syatem is working.....there is also two heater hoses going to the back so make sure you have the correct two like i said one is larger then the other the heater hoses will be the same size.........good luck
there is a tee under the hood were the lines that are going to the rear unit branch off the front unit, start at thise tees and start working your way to the back and find were the blockage is allmost sounds like an expansion valve. let me try to explane what the expansion valve does, it is the heart of the chemical reaction inside the aircondition system, it is basicly an ourafas as freon is pushed threw the smaller hole it speeds up and causes a low pressure at that point in the system and it is at that point that the cooing starts in the system so the lines should be much cooler after the expansion valve, so find the rear expansion valve and see if the lines are cooler after the valve if not replace the valve.

Thanks John. I'm a rookie so if you will, please expressly guide me to the A/C line going to the rear. Does it travel from the engine compartment to under the chassis along the passenger side and then up to the rear evaporator core? Just want to be sure I am checking the correct thing.
My theory is incorrect. Unfortunately, with the A/C running on high in front (cooling) and rear (ambient), both lines under the chassis, the small and the large, are neither hot or cold. (and of course the two heater hoses are both hot). It seems as if nothing is flowing through either line. Any thought?
Not sure I sent this. My theory on what is wrong is incorrect. With A/C on high, both the small and the large lines are neither hot or cold. ???? As if nothing is flowing through either line.
