Had some fun yesterday and all day today tearing into the dash to remove the HVAC box and replacing all the blend doors, evap core and heater core.
I used the blenddoorusa.com kit to replace all the doors and the plastic arms with their upgraded arms. Excellent quality parts, highly recommend them if you need to replace your doors in the HVAC box.And if you are going to the trouble of removing the dash for one door, you might as well replace them all while you're in there. Save you having to do it all again later when the other doors start to break. Same thing with the evap core and heater core, replace them while you have everything apart. It's worth the extra cost as you only have to do all this the one time.
Started yesterday but it ended up being a bust due to crappy tools from Autozone for removing the A/C lines from the evap core. Took me way longer than it should have to disconnect the accumulator line. So I plowed into it starting at 8am this morning, removed the dash, rebuilt the HVAC box and got everything reinstalled and the truck back on the road at 6:45pm. Only thing remaining is to have the A/C recharged. Even cleaned up the stereo wiring so that it's running over the steering column now so if I need to removed the dash or drop the column again, I won't have extra wires to worry about or cut.
