Thanks, I took it to the Shop and they wanted to charge me $400.00. Im into
this project for 1/2 hr so far, I figure 1 hr to reassemble and Im done.
This is Great, Now we have AC for our Trip to BC 🙂 Thanks Very Much
Thanks, so often YT is the best source of info for fixing vehicles!
These videos were perfect. It was awesome to bring the laptop out to the
truck and watch the videos while getting to actually look at in person. I
got very lucky and only had the recirc door broken…. which in turn made
my ac blowers blow very little air. I made the cutout, reached in and
grabbed the broken door, and BAM. The AC was blowing full blast. So again,
THANK YOU for these great tutorials.
@raceman19901 Read their guide on what doors to replace. It will tell you.
Lol they used so many screws so it wouldn’t squeak over time like vehicles
that only have snap in dashes.
Removing the door leaves the external and internal intake ports open. At
highway speeds air flows into the external port and directly out of the
internal port…like having a window rolled down all the time. The fan
doesn’t have the power to overcome the air flow. No door kills AC and heat
efficiency. You can block one or the other port, but it doesn’t allow the
computer to control the door and “dry” out condensation or maximize
AC/heat. Replacing the door with the HeaterTreater kit is best
I have a 2004 Dodge Ram heat only coming out the middle vents. After
looking at the service manual I started to Panic as I read how the door is
replaced. Disconnect the AC, the Heat and tear apart the Dash…there was
NO way I could do that I needed my defrost desperately. Using your video I
was able to cut open the box and tape the door in the up position and
reseal things temporarily so I had defrost while I waited for your parts to
arrive. Thanks for your product, you are the BEST!
Thank you for making this video! I’ve been needing to do this for a few
months, and now have the information I needed to get started.
Just got done replacing re circ door. Bought it from Heater Treater for 130
shipped. Took about a hour and half. Not bad at all. Used a few tricks of
the trade to make it really easy. One screw on the door motor can be a
pain, but overall its really easy if you have mechanical skills.
To anybody who is having the problem where only air blows out of the vents
but no defrost. Your problem is the mode 1 door is broken. I have a 2003
Dodge Ram heavy duty and I am replacing the mode 1 door because it has the
problem I described above and when I took it apart like the video shows,
the mode 1 door connector spins free.
Just got the parts this morning, done by noon….This part really works and
for anyone thinking about getting it and saving a ton of money!!!!!! Dodge
wanted 1400 dollars to do the work…and replace it with shitty parts..that
would need replaced again in a year or so….watch the video it really is
that easy
