Good evening.

You have separate heater cores for the front and the rear.

I would check the hoses at the firewall where they go into the truck and make sure they are hot. Check both hoses and let me know.

Also, with the engine off, key on, command heat and then cool and see if you can hear the actuator motor working in the dashboard.

Motor off key on I hear faint clicking when demanding heat or cool. Do you think actuator is working?

No. You should hear the door move, not the motor clicking.
