We've done it and have it working. No plans at the moment for a stand alone kit, but will be compatible with the harness that comes with our 8.4 Swap kit.

Since you have no plans for a kit right now, any chance you could specify what is needed to make the conversion?

You can install the ATC bezel but it will not work unless you were able to add the ATC sales code and also install the interior temp sensor and wiring.[/Q.

You can purchase the conversion harness from M2Mods. They are members on the forum who started making harnesses for those wanting to do the conversion. They are listed in the vendor section. There is a complete writeup on the conversion that will tell you everything you need to do depending on weather or not your truck was equipped with a 4 speed or 7 speed fan.

I would like to get the wire harness for the conversion. I already have the bezel and the module and the 8.4 Radio. All I need is the harness the extended one. Could I get the info to contact someone who makes them?
Thanks, Stone Cold

There are two 8.4 RA4 push button bezels. One is a dual zone auto unit the other us a manual unit. You can use either 8.4 bezel but the auto setting and passenger side hot and cold will not work on the auto bezel. You truck has a 7 speed fan so you would need the harness for the speed conversion which is the easiest one. You can buy this from the Harness Connection who is a vendor on the forum. You will also need the 911 over ride plug,heater control module and the 8.4 climate control bezel and of corse you RA3 or RA4 8.4 radio. All the information you need is in the D.Y.I section you can find all your part numbers there. You need to read this to fully understand the conversion. It is quite simple to fo once you understsnd it and will take about twenty minutes to do.This is a picture of mine with the non auto 8.4 bezel. Also a pic of the conversion harness heater control module and non auto 8.4 bezel.

This is an old post I know but can anyone tell me if the ATC control panel will still function of as a MTC panel when upgrading or will I get errors? and if I just do the MTC panel I know I need a wiring harness but which one? and do I need a new HVAC controller as well as the resistor or just the 7 speed resistor? Ive been reading all morning and just when I think I have it figured out I find more confusing options and info.

1.Does just the auto button not work or are you able to control the fan speed by pressing the temp buttons?
2. Was this worth swapping or is this purely for cosmetics?
