Air Box Doors - Heater-Treater or Dorman?
Has anyone used the Dorman Air Box doors? The Heater-Treaters would set me back $250. The Dorman's are about $125 total. Are the they any good?
I am low on funds thanks to Dodge and the busted dash syndrome. Planning to start next week and need to place an order the doors and a dash. Thanks all

You don't need the full set of $250 ?Heater Treaters.
Look at their video "how to's" and diagnose which doors are goosed. They sell them as a full kit or part of kits ie 1 door 2 doors etc.
I luckily bought all of them as I was in a position at the time to do so. Quality is extremely good and puts to shame the OEM stuff. I replaced my Re-circ door and cured my problem 100%.
I can't comment on the Dormans.

You might get an idea from this thread with similar blend door issues............

I don't have any blend door issues. Question initiated regarding if any one had experience with the Dorman air box doors. My recirculation and blend doors are good but the Mode 1 and 2 have striped couplers or broken. Thanks

Great thanks, Since the whole dash has to come out anyway I am going to change everything once before death of truck.... Heater core, dash, evaporator, and all 4 doors. I Need another 5 years of trouble free service. As it stands the Mode 1 and 2 doors are busted. The Blend and re-circulation doors are okay. I can get the dormans today but will have to order and wait for the heater treaters. BTW where is heater-treater located? Texas?
The Heater treater doors have metal fittings and such and really are much better than stock.
I know the price is up there but.....the old saying of "you get what you pay for" really applies here.
BTW I'm not affiliated to them in any way being ion the UK and all, but must speak as I find.
