New Dash Now Available 88-94

[Garrett Fulton]

The clicking is coming from the recirculation door actuator. In my opinion, impossible to replace without pulling the dash out. The other two actuators have position feedback to the HVAC controller and run to their commanded position and stop. The recirc. door actuator runs either full open or full closed and there's a 10 second time delay that holds power to the motor. The plastic teeth get old and brittle and one pops off and the gears drive against the gap and make that popping sound for about 10 seconds when you shut off the engine that drives people nuts.

Not sure who has Instagram but just saw this post where a guy installed a new dash from LMC with pictures showing fit. I wonder how many other will have these issues

You said you are getting new actuators. There is 3, but two are the same part # correct? I got a 91 also and I have that damn clicking under passenger dash. When I get home from offshore imma order one when I find out. Wondering if I should replace all of em too.

While your in ther just change them all out. yes two are the same.

Many have changed that actuator, with the dash in place...
I did the majority of the job with my left hand....

What does the gap look like on the right side? Someone posted a picture where it was ginormous.

There is a small gap of about 1/4" on both sides actually, but it's not really noticeable unless you're looking for it. Also mine is installed in a 97, so I don't really consider my install to be a good benchmark lol. I do believe it is well worth the cash tho.

My guess would be they made a small run of these to test how well they would sell, and then sold all of them before some of the staff even knew they were a thing. I bet they'll make some more ASAP.
