I'm glad I found this thread. This issue of hot air coming out of the a/c vents has been driving me insane. I thought all that noise made by the actuator was my CD player, but realized it's coming from the a/c system last week. I just picked up the actuator and will change it out later this week.
I'm covered under warranty, but I'm not going to let some monkey mess up my truck. No offense to any techs out there. I've had the worst of the worst perform warranty repairs for me in the past. They'd fix one thing and break two. It was a vicious cycle.

Make sure you install the updated actuator, that is most likely your problem.

I think mine might have this problem. I don’t have the automatic climate control though. However, Mine only blows cold when the **** is turned all the way cold. If I turn it a quarter of an inch towards warm, its blows hot. I wonder if the manual system uses the same part number?

That actuator motor fixed my problem. It's holding a constant temperature with or without the a/c running. It's not that easy to change, but it's doable. There's not much room to work and unless you pop the wiring harness mounting tabs out of the mounting holes, I don't see how you could get it out. I don't have small hands, so anyone can do this.
