Blend Door Coupling?

[pauley05]

Looking for some help here,
2009 ram 1500.
Finally pulled the whole dash to replace my heater core as I only had hot air on passenger side. Not that bad of a job but I noticed the white plastic piece that adapts the foot actuator output to the D shapped shaft on the physical hvac door was stripped out. I have looked but have been unsuccessful finding this coupling, does anyone have a better breakdown of this hvac box or a part number? Next option is to pull it out and try to 3d print one.

Thanks!

if you are in that deep & the HVAC unit is out of the truck

Replace the heater core & evaporator core

The outer housing is split, so install new doors

this company makes the very best doors

Crap I threw the dash back in same day without doing the evaporator. I'll try to get the coupling out for a picture, it's not quite the gear shape like that amazon post but thank you!

Best I could find quickly here. The part looks just like the amazon link but the 2009 has a spline end. The blurry screenshot from another post shows the white part im referring too.

If you can’t find it, I have a couple parts trucks, I can grab one and ship it to you. Have to send me a picture though, I’m not sure which actuator exactly your talking about

 

[pauley05]

Thank you mrack! I'll see if I can find it by the weekend if not I will take the part out and let you know

You may have noticed the Condenser cooling fins build up with dust & fiber like mud.

That is the reason that the Cabin Air Filter Mod is done so often.

Ram finally decided that they should at least carve out the door opening & install a door. They started doing that in January 2017.

Then if the customers want to have a Cabin Air Filter, they just have to buy it & install it

actually one of the better Cabin Air Filters is made by
FRAM

FRAM Fresh Breeze​

it’s the only cabin air filter that can help remove odors flowing through the vehicle ventilation system, thanks to the ARM & HAMMER™3 baking soda and carbon embedded in the filter media.
any filter made with Charcoal particles, is good

If this helps anyone in the future this is the part I was discussing. Local dealer could not find it
