98 jimmy blend door
 
98 jimmy had new vacuum lines and new blend door actuator. Either the door is stuck or broken. Is there a way to physically move door by hand. If I block heater hose ac blows cold I just don’t have time to fix it right at the moment and I need the ac

if I spice heater hose and put a cutoff valve in would that work temporarily

If you really need a short term bandaid fix, you can bypass the heater core. Just disconnect the two hoses from the heater core, and join them together with a male to male connector and clamps, and then plug the two heater core lines so you don't get garbage into the system.

thank you that will work I was thinking cut off valves so I could go back and forth. I drive a truck and a lot of them have ball valves in line

You may also want to check out the information in this thread over on the S10 Crew Cab forum. I'm not sure if this is related to your situation or not, since you say your truck blows hot with the A/C on.

Some S-series trucks came equipped with a solenoid designed for the auto-temperature climate control systems, but in the manual temperature systems, this solenoid directs air through the heater core. This means that when the A/C is off, it will always add heat to the air being circulated. This is something that affects my 2002 Sonoma Crew Cab, and it's a 3 minute fix to disconnect and plug the vacuum line, including the time it took to clean up the junk I had stashed in my glove box.
