AC fresh air door actuator
Everyone seems to be selling the fresh air actuator for the ridiculous price of $50 which seems totally insane.
Anyone had any luck finding a substitute off of another vehicle? There are so many that look like they would work for $10-$20 on amazon and other sites.

Re: AC fresh air door actuator
I saw the $50 one. I'll also wait to see if something less expensive shows up.

Re: AC fresh air door actuator
I did away with mine many,many years ago and closed off the cowl area so air can't come in it. It was one of the best mods I have done to my truck for the AC system. My truck run 38* just on low. That with 134-A in the system also.

I read a thread on this many years ago on this forum about doing it.

Re: AC fresh air door actuator
I just bought one from Classic Parts. I didn't like spending $50 for something like this, but couldn't find anything else that would work. Possibly a cruise control diaphragm might be modified, but I didn't have anything to work with. I installed the one I bought and it worked and fit well enough.
