Recently got a Tech2 and don't have an old enough laptop hangin' around to run TIS 2000. It's going to take me a while to start diving into the Tech2 and figure it out,...... but I'll re-post here with any feedback after following the info from your PDF. Pretty cool of you to figure this out...

I had a pretty good laugh to/with myself when I saw your pic of the actuators all opened up on your table...... :laugh: Here's my bench a few weeks ago.... I was determined to get my HVAC system working again before the fall ended and winter kicks in. Worked thru 4-5 sets of these things...

I bought a full kit on 10-22-18 and it was delivered here on 10-26-18. I purchased from http://www.chinacardiags.com and had no issues. I'd recommend the full kit with the case,...... simply because IMO the case is additional *insurance* / shipping protection. Items damaged in shipping are a...

I posted a picture in this thread showing how the used Actuators need to be calibrated..... hope it helps ! USED Actuator calibration :cool:

When I replaced my VENT/FLOOR I didn't have to remove the whole dash - that's only required for the recirculate actuator. ( I took the pics above from a wrecked truck as I 'gutted' the interior. ) I do recall that different dash brackets were used on different trucks,... might have been due...

Ya' there are a few different part numbers used in each truck and there is more than 1 part number that will work for each 'type' of actuator. PN might be year or model specific,.. not sure. My 04 ( manual HVAC ) and 05 ( auto HVAC) both used the same PN's for all actuators. Well,.... for...

Why Not,.... Bought some replacement rear seats and just finished installing the wiring needed for a BOSE to LUX BOSE conversion. I'll probably leave the rear panels out until I can find quality replacements,...... previous owner let his pup ride in the cargo area and they got pretty...

Good advise. I've had a tranny fail, ( no 3 or 4 ) and had it rebuilt. Bench rebuild was $500, Parts cost me $800 and I had to drop and install; that was 3 years ago. Shortly after it was reinstalled ( a month or 2 ) the tranny just stopped working while highway driving. No funny noises, no...

Here's a picture of the proper indexing if you install used parts - or for anyone else that finds this thread in the future ! The main gear "notches" line up vertically and smaller "potentiometer" gear has 2 pins that align horizontally,.... (#'s printed on small gear positioned at the top. )...

One of my failed "blend door" actuators sounded like that. (I've had more than 1 of them fail ! ) It sure sounds like an actuator with stripped/worn gears. Actuators fail independently,...... no need to replace anything other than the 1 that's giving you a problem. If you remove the lower...
