Some 1988 C/K models without air conditioning may have temperature control cables that will not adjust properly. This condition is due to the cable
adjustment ratchet having insufficient tension. Vehicles with this condition will experience either of the following symptoms:
a)
Cool air from the heater or defroster vents when the temperature lever is in the full warm position.
b)
Warm air from the heater or defroster vents when the temperature lever is in the full cool position.
