Review on Dorman 902-207 Air Door Actuator: Efficient & Sleek in Black by Jonathan Jensen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unplug and it's fine.

Replacing on my 98 F150 is a miserable 8 hour job. Requires full dashboard removal (partial). There are a lot of corners that can be cut, but it's just impossible to make this project quick or easy, especially when it comes to 100 screws and bolts. Watch the online video beforehand. My only gripe is the metal bushing that reinforces the bottom hinge. If you install it as is it may last longer but you will have to ream the hole it goes in. The original door did 200,000 miles without this bushing and I thought the truck would be at a junkyard if this door failed so I removed the bushing. After 6 months it still works perfectly. Also, you're going insane if you don't swap out the drive motor that powers this thing. At the same time the radiator was changed. All in all, only about $70 got me hot and cold air again, but getting the job done in 20-degree weather absolutely sucked.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Minorities
