Ballsy repair man......well done.
Al.

 

So I have most of my dash apart too.
My recirc door has completely broken and fallen into the unit.
All the other doors/actuators are fine. I'm going to buy the kit from Heater Treater based on feedback I've seen on here and other places. Hope I can do it without pulling the entire unit out of the truck.
IS the Silver amp looking thing the radio amp or is it the trucks computer??? If it's the amp I'll have it checked out because I have no sound coming out of the passenger side of the vehicle. yeah, I've checked the balance ****!

You can see the silver thing on the left side of ShortyR6's picture!

 

I'm still trying to find out about taking the entire unit out as well. Hard to see from the pics if the screws in back holding the sections of the hvac unit are accessible .

 

with the dash in the position of the pic above, you can access the 3 screws that secure it in the cab. there are also a couple more screws under the hood that secure it from the engine bay. all the screws are easy to get to.

once you have the dash in that position, the 5 screws/nuts off, AC lines off, and coolant lines off, it just pulls away from the firewall and out the passenger door.

i am glad i pulled the dash, as opposed to cutting the box apart. its a little more work, but i rather do it the right way. its not hard, just takes up a little time.

once its apart, it really goes back together rather quickly.

 

So there's no way to take apart the HVAC box without removing it completely? I'm not worried about tearing the cab apart and replacing the dash, just don't want to have to empty then recharge the A/C.

 

Yes you can do it with out takeing it all out !!!

read the posts and check out the heater treater web site he also has vidios on youtube on how to do it

 

heater treater shows you how to cut holes in the HVAC unit, but i am kind of OCD about just doing it right. not that the heater treater repair is not right. if you cut the holes you dont need to remove the whole dash.

 

In the center of pic, at bottom. There is a electrical box with yellow wire connector going in it. Anybody know what it does? Or name? Just wondering?

 

Yes, that is your SRS airbag computer

 

thanks.
