Climate controls

[Burdette]

Can you replace 93 truck climate control with 95 climate control?

You can.

If you want to replace all the door actuators, resistor pack, and wiring harness, then figure out how to mount the controller in the old style dash. The nice thing is, the HVAC wiring harness is fairly separate from the rest of the truck harnesses, so rewiring wouldn't be difficult. And you'll need to keep the relay for the A/C compressor with the newer controller. I just wouldn't want to deal with the controller mounting. And I would definitely go with a 96+, not a 95 - the 95s are one off and you'll play hell trying to find one anyway.

Thanks for the reply. The dash on this truck is in very bad condition. Putting a plan together for a restyled dash with a touch screen so mounting climate control would not be an issue. This build is for fun and increasing skill set in building vehicles.

Sounds pretty cool keep us posted if/when you do it.

Ps just in case it helps, LMC now sells the dash body for the 88-94 trucks. Might be something to look into unless you're going for a pure, full-custom build.

Thanks for all the info on this matter. I will do some research with your information. May not be worth the expense. The 93 controls just look dated.

Thats interesting...Will check out LMC. Will post updates here and may post on YouTube as well.

Well if you can get the actuators, resistor set, and controller from a junkyard, the cost really shouldn't be too much - I could pick up the entire set from my local yard for about $40. It's just the work involved that might not be worth it.
