A/C & Heat not working properly

I just replaced my thermostat last weekend and the overheating issue has been remedied, but now the A/C does not blow cool air like before and the heater does not blow warm air after the engines warms up.. Any thoughts?

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT TEMPETURE RATING STAT FOR YOUR TRUCK,ALSO IT SOUNDS LIKE THE COOLING SYSTEM HAS AIR IN IT WHICH WILL CAUSE YOUR HEATER NOT TO PREFORM,YOUR A/C NEEDS TO HAVE GAUGES PUT ON IT TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT UNDER OR OVER CHARGED, OVER OR UNDER CHARGED WOULD CAUSE THE A/C NOT TO BE AS COLD,ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE YOUR CONDENSER FAN IS WORKING GOOD

i believe he was refering to the CAPS LOCK? or not? jus saying.

but bring it to a shop for an a/c diag. first check if your compressor turn on at all. if it doesnt report back.

you had a nasty gram to me not the OP. it was a joke since your caps were on like mentioned.

does the temp go up and down cycling through or is the overheating just a constant?
