I have a 1995 XL 4X4 and the heat is not working and I believe it is the
knob that changes the heat from cold to hot. When I went to change the knob
from cold to hot there was a lot of tension in the knob and it wouldn't go
all of the way to hot. I forced it to go now all I have is lukewarm heat
does anyone know how hard it is to repair this?

I expect that moves a cable to operate the hot/cold blend door. Should be
realtively easy to locate, and lubricate.

I had a similiar problem last year with my 92 f-150. I ended up
breaking the switch.
Along with replacing the switch I found a pencil and a set of keys
blocking the plenum door, which is next to the heater core. This door
is controled by the heat/cool switch.
Both the plenum (not sure if I am spelling it correctly) door and the
heater core are easy to get to right behind the glove box.
While I was at it I took out my heater core and had it flushed for
about $15

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info guys I will let you know if I was able to fix it. I am
not to mechanically inclined so it could be an adventure.
