On my 2000 F-150 5.4 it just started doing something weird, when I go up this one long hill the AC stops blowing from the panel where I have it set and blows from the defrost vents. When I top the hill it switches back to the dash panel. I am assuming this is some kind of vacuum issue so I checked all the vacuum lines and can't find any loose or worn/cracked.
I don't think it could be related in any way but I just had a new battery installed (the original one lasted 7yrs and 8 mos, not bad!)
