Anyone replaced/repaired the a/c blend door themself?

Mine broke in August, and I need to fix it before next summer.
I'm still in warranty, but I don't know any dealers or techs around that I'd trust to do it properly without tearing up the rest of the truck. Besides, they'd probably want to keep it longer than I could afford to have it idle.

You need to pull the dash back to get to the case and the door. not really that hard to do.

Either here or on the TDR someone did a really good write up with pics of the door replacement.

Thanks - that's great info!

Taking the dash out looks like every bit of the PITA that I thought... sucks.

Wouldn't that be covered under warranty?

Of course - but I hate to take it to a dealer with techs I don't know/trust...

I NEVER let anyone touch my equipment for any reason, at any time, unless I can WATCH them and usually HELP them!

The thought of some neophyte dismembering my beautiful, expensive truck makes me apoplectic.

I know some excellent Techs, but not in my neck of the woods.

That was an excellent write up. I have a small rattle way underneath the dash. I have had it pretty much all apart except the steering column drop hence I couldn't really pull the top off completely. Never found the rattle...yet.

Just a big pain. All comes apart pretty easy but still a pain. At least I didn't end up with extra screws left over after putting it all back together.....this time...
