It works fine, no difference in function. Seems to transfer the functions to the new controls without problems. I can highly recommend the upgrade.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to hearing how it works, the difference, etc.

I have heard, but not confirmed, that the new part is in the $450 range. I paid $280 for my used one.

Big T,

Thanks for the pictures! I will definitely do this upgrade. Can you give us an idea of the approx. cost for the part (new vs. used)?

Thanks,

Guys,

Some of you have asked about the AC control panel in the dash, which needs to be replaced in its entirety in order to fix the missing pixels in the temp displays.

See link below, page 7, for instructions. It's really easy and takes a few minutes (took me less than 3 minutes). I'm happy answer questions if you're planning to do this. I would recommend finding the newer style panel if you're replacing on a 95' model.

Big-T
