Default blend door cost

I have a 2003 dodge ram 1500 qc and i heard a crack sound and now only heat blows from the front vents, no floor or defrost. I was searching on this forum and it sounds like its the blend door. My question is what does the dealer usually charge to repair this problem because im not too good at fixing things.
Thanks

on a 2007 if the door is broken it will cost 700/800 bucks it might just be the little regulator they can hook it up and see at a dealer

Regardless of the model year, it's a long and expensive job to have done. It's like a 6-8hr job if done by a dealer. Much longer if you do it yourself.
Most people are in the $600-$1000 area for the replacement of a well known problematic part that Chrysler should fix IMO.
So, either deal with the heat the way it is or pay out the wazoo for some service on a part that just might break again.

do the heater treater doors. you can cut into the HVAC real easily, but i opted to take the HVAC unit out and i cant be any happier with all the doors replaced.

We have a few threads on how to take the dash apart and remove the heater system and replace the doors. Here are two of my favs
