Not too sure about this but it sounds like you may have a vacuum leak behind the dash that is keeping your blend door open. I know that if I have the car on but not running with the AC on, the blend door doesn't have enough vacuum to move the air up to the vents.

any idea on how to fix this? or am i going to have to rip out the whole entire dash to get to it... ugh i hope not.... i have a extended warranty.... do u think they would cover something like this?

This isn't unusual. Over time, the seals on the blend doors in the heater box go bad and you get leakage past them. Usually, these seals are some sort of foam. I don't know if they are replaceable or not, as most that I've seen are glued on.

+1 on this. I have a 98 camaro and this is quite common for me, especially on long drives, wouldn't worry about it too much.
