Been searching and found this. Good looking out!

U can remove that plastic vent and have it all apart and out in 10 minutes using a 1/4 ratchet wrench with a t20 bit electrical taped to it so it holds the bit.

i been trying to trace the noise and i used a mechanic stethoscope and lead me to the idler pulleys thank god i found this video!!! thank you 🙏🙏🙏

👍👍👍

Also let seal bake in to sun for a few days before going crazy trying to position glass perfect in the opening. The sun will warm and soften the seal. This will let seal relax and it will change shape a bit.

Soak the rubber with windex or soap water. Set the bottom edge in the grove. Use your palm and push seal onto glass and roll palm from bottom to top edge of glass. Keep push seal into the glass as you roll your palm. More soap water or windex the better. Great video just wanted to add what made the job easier for me.

Thank you for this video😅

How do you get to driveside blend door actuator i know passenger side behind glove box

So you just unhooked the negative right only not the positive

One of the best experience/advice vids I've seen. Thanks for sharing the important stuff

i replaced my actuator and broken gears and worked great for a few days but stopped working again. Tried a couple more actuators but they either wont work, or work intermittently, but only seems to turn one direction, counterclockwise. Any ideas?

LIfe saver video. Thanks. Did exactly what you did and it worked! Thank you

Gracias por la información que es dé mucha ayuda

Do you run your stock fuel rails

Good vid man! Keep it up.

Hey thanks for the video. I also have a 4.6L 2v with the KB 1.7. I've been trying to diagnose a problem with mine, as it seems like I lose power when I hit the throttle. Seems to want to sputter. Mine sat for a very long time and getting it back up and running. Can you explain the issues you were running into with yours? I do hear a chirp in mine, and will be replacing spider gear, but now I'm thinking of the idler pulley. Thanks!

Are the steps the same for passenger side

What HP are you making on that 1.7?

Thank you! I was not about to pay kb's prices on a simple pulley!

That’s really good acceleration, what other mods did it have other than the Kenne Bell?

Man, THANK YOU for your input. Having the same problem on 2014 Durango. Just started, you have given in me so much information I can't thank you enough. At least I kind of know how to go about tackling this problem. Thank you

My passenger side lower one broke . The upper gear for the door it self is stuck like this. But the question I have the motor for the lower gear that shouldn't spin completely does it have a limit built in to it? I put the gear on just to see and it will Completely spin a few turns before stopping

Would this cause the electrical control system to pop up ?

Thank you so much for this video. You saved me so much time. I sincerely appreciate it.

Just took a look at mine and decided to come inside and search videos as I plan to tackle this fix this weekend. My gear fell to the floor as well upon removing the lower felt cover. Aside from being pretty tight to get up there to the screws, I will also mention that it would really help if I was a contortionist to lay up in the pedal area. Tight even with the seat all the way back. Thought for sure I was stuck at one point.🤣. Thanks for the info in this video, we all value our free time, you saved me part of my weekend!

Why didn’t you take the panel off?

Charge the screw to hex head

Dude, just wanted to say thank you, I was that close to remove the whole dash out, but watching your video gave me that magic tip to cut those tools short to get to that damn actuator, it was a pain but it worked like a charm ... really appreciate it.

Great DETAIL!!!! Local dealership wanted 1.5 hours, at $150/hr, and $100 for the actuator. I WILL be able to do this!! Thanks!

I did this driver side gear replacement today. I tried loosening top screw and changing gear but ended up breaking ear off the actuator. Ended up just splitting and removing the floor air duct, that made all the screws accessible. It went back in pretty easy.

I did the blend door replacement in my '15 Citadel on the passenger side. I have never said more cuss words in my life while working on something. Looking forward to doing the driver side lol

I have the same problem as this video. I will be able to fix it now.. thank you pulled! Quick question, pulled down the felt liner why was the ac or heater pipes scorching hot?

Thanks I need to do the same project.

Is the blendure an actuator the same thing or 2 different pieces

Can you measure the back of the tool to the tip so we can make our tool ahead of time

Thank you! This video was very helpful!!

I just did this job tonight and it sucked big donkey D... My gear was fine however, the actuator went out so I had to replace it. The door does move freely once the actuator is pulled off. I have seen some that the high heat can melt the door inside to a closed position. So if your door does not move once the gear and actuator is pulled off you may have to twist the door spline till it breaks free. It is easier if you pull the cover off underneath the steering wheel. There is a plate with 4 bolts that comes off easy, once that is off there is a bracket in the way that has 2 bolts and another screw that is accessed behind the steering column cover on the right side. Some plastic trim tools make easy work to remove most of the covers that need to be removed. Mine once I plugged it in to power to align the gear on the actuator the actuator lined up the arrow with the cogs that where open in the actuator. The hard part since my stock gear was ok and not a replacement was getting it realigned correctly, the replacement gears look to only go on one way where the stock one can be aligned to different positions. As for the tork screw that is hard to access, I ended up finding a dewalt tork that once you ground it down it still had a small section that you could use a small wrench to twist it back in. Getting the screw in and tork to stay with out falling out was pretty frustrating so I ended up super gluing the screw to the tork bit and that worked to get it started and once it was all the way tight i just left the bit in the screw for the next poor slob that has to replace it. There is another video that i watched that shows how to align the gear to the spline of the door, It can only go in one way if it is aligned correctly. Some one commented below that once the first section of air duct is removed that the other one above it can be separated, however I didn't know about that and would of made the job easier, I just didn't see a way to separate it. Maybe someone else might be able to. Don't wish this replacement on my worst enemy. Good luck to those that attempt it.

MY DURANGO IS DOING THAT.. GOING TO TRY AND FIX IN THIS COLD ASS MICHIGAN WEATHER ! LOL

Hey there! You think this would be the same process for a 2007 Durango 5.7L? I'm getting heat on the passenger side but not driver.

Thanks for the video dude, mine is stuck on cold for front passenger side . I will try to dig into this weekend 2014 Durango

Thank you I just got done with my daughter's Durango, her door was melted shut. Took some pressure but I did get to break loose with a screwdriver, thank you. The guy that came up with that top screw location should be SHOT lol.

I changed that door ac actuator Nd the gear.. and recharged my ac and still not blowing cold air .. so?? What's next

You didn't need to buy another tool to do this or hack up a T20 bit. Once you removed the bottom ducting that directs air flow to the floor, you can then remove the upper ducting by splitting it in half (it does split) then pull the front half out and the back half out the same way. Then you have all the room to use a ratchet or any tool of your liking. Reverse the process and your done. Took me more time to remove all the plastic to get to it then it was to change it. Hope this helps in the future when the gear breaks again.. And it will break again. Im on number 2 in 2 years.

Do you have or can you recommend a video for the passenger side? I have a Durango 2011.

I removed the actuator and the gear is stuck cannot move it clock or counter clock wise Is this indication that its bad? Should it move when its off?

This was great for a how-to and helped a lot! Just an idea, instead of removing the top screw all of the way back it out about 2/3 way and this will give you enough wiggle room to get the old gear off and the new one on. I did this and it saved me from the headache of taking it all of the way out. Another tip, I used an Allen wrench on the top that fit the t20 screw.

What it’s the screws size

he could be making 100 more hp with just a tune lol.

Nice dude. I agree, just because a car is Auto doesn't mean that is doesn't haul ass. I've got manual and auto car and they are all great. In fact my fastest quater mile car is my 97 Eclipse GSX that is Auto. I talked to the guys at my local speed shop and they said alot of guys are going back to Autos for drag because they don't have to worry as much about shift timing and over rev. Both can be great cars, it's more about the driver then anything else.
