Question type: Maintenance & Repair

It takes close to 45 minutes for van to blow kind of warm air, then starts to blow cold after 5 minutes. After driving for around an hour it is crazy hot, but goes cold when I turn up the blower. What is going on?

Your anti-freeze level is either low or the thermostat is bad. It could be other things but start with the easy stuff.
