my 05 does the same thing but eventually settles in too normal temperatures. after driving it awhile 60 however is always cold.

Here is a thread that talks about the same kind of issue:

I had the same problem, in my 05 SE Off Road, right after the tranny/radiator replaced. Brought it back 4 (yes 4x) for the heat issue. They bled the system, on the 3rd time, and replaced the thermostat and its fine now. Apparently the service guy and the tech wasn't the brightest. Had several other issues wit them

Yeah I have them and they are a great tire. They look aggressive and fill out the wheel well real nice and perform great. They are awesome in snow and they are awesome on the road. You wont really be able to tell any difference from the general grabbers you have now on the road. I haven't had them in too much mud but from what I have they handle it with ease. There a great tire I would definitely buy them again. I did lose some mpg but i think that was mostly because I got the one size bigger than stock.

Maybe I can help with that one.

A salesman told me that there is a sensor in the back of the truck, and until all the interior reach the temperature set in the front, the heater will push excessive heat in the front to heat up all the cabin.

The solution is to set the rear heater at full heat but at minimum fan speed, the rear sensor is then warm up an the front work almost normally pushing you normal 70 degree heat

It work but I sometime feel the rear heat coming in the front (usually when braking) in mild weather... but it's nothing compare to the heat wave of before!!!

Hope this will Help you
