Sounds like the blend door. My 01 had issues till I swapped out the heater core (what a pain in the rear). I as well have ongoing issues with the vacum lines but after awhile one gets to be an expert on diagnosing the problem. When I worked on mine last year I did the youtube searches and the blend door came up most of the time (mine was fine) and they did say make sure heater core was circulating properly as it could vapor lock on the refill. When you do get it fixed it will roast you out. On mine I have to turn the temp down and fan on low or it will cook ya, even in minus degree weather. Mine also takes awhile to warm up just due to being a diesel.
Just changed the hub bearing assembly on the driver side--THAT WAS FUN ! Can you say rusted on ! IF you do this buy the assemblies off amazon "detroit axle" as you can buy a pair for less than one from Autozone or O'Rielly's and free shipping. The axle nut is 1 11/16" or 43 mm. Little trick getting them out................. Back the two bottom bolts almost out, top one completely out, start it up and turn the steering wheel, which bumps the bolt head and loosens them right up.

I lowered the dash to Change heater core, I need to pull it back soon and check hose clamps, actuator door is accessible from under dash without moving it I think Sounds like the blend door.

That works if it breaks easy, they used a air chisel to get mine loose, anti seize makes things come apart much easier
