I'm getting tried with the floor heat vents.
My right little toe is baking and my left one is turning blue, won't even melt all the snow off the left boot and the right one gets dry in a half hour.

I was just wondering if someone did or knows where to look for duct work for automobiles.
I would like to run a tube/duct across the bay under the dash with two vents aiming down to get both feet warm equally.

I'm sure you Snoballers have notice this. :)

Thanks in advance.

Mine works fine I leave it on auto all the time even at - 40c and no issues at all best heater I've ever had never fogs up or anything. Sounds like a flap is stuck or something

There is only one small floor vent on each side the console pointing down at your right foot, at least on a 2010.

No flap stuck my right little toe says. LOL

I don't have a problem with heating the truck, it's just me and my flavor of how I want the air to move.

But thanks sir.

I think your idea will work and probably not to hard to fab up.

You want it more convection like - even airflow around them little piggies. LoL

Sounds like your gonna have to doctor up a vent of your own to guide the airflow more evenly.

Does this same condition exist in the different model years? 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013?

So I think I solved my issue, stuck a paper towel behind the toe cooking vent now all the air comes out around the back, heating everything up.
Don't worry I will fix that with some black tape and leave the top slot open.

If you look at the two pics you can see they did the right thing on the passenger side but not the drivers side.
