I have the digital dual climate controls in my truck and I'd like to swap in non-dual climate manual controls. I had them in my old truck and I liked them better. I searched and found info about doing a swap from manual to digital and it wasn't worth it. But I'm wondering if it would be easier going from digital to manual. - Thanks for your input, Ryan

Are you talking about going from digital hvac to non-digtal but still dual climate? Or are you wanting to take an hvac unit from a 99-02 model with the 3 knobs and swap into yours?

I am in the process of doing some heavy research into doing the swap from non-dual climate (99-02) and converting to the non-digital dual climate. The outcome i am looking to have is that you will be able to upgrade to the manual slider dual climate hvac, yet utilize only the single blend door on the 99-02 trucks. It will be like going from luxury to base in functionality, yet having the upgraded looks of a newer hvac unit.

First off i can tell you for sure that the 03-07 hvac units are a tad smaller in width than the 99-02's, meaning that modification will need to be made on the 99-02 1.5din bucket. If you're looking to swap the unit from a 99-02 into an 03-07, the older unit will be too wide and wont be able to clip into factory location unless modification is made to the bucket as well.

Ill keep posted in upcoming months once i get around to messing with systems.

I'd like to swap from digital dual climate to manual ones. I don't know if their are any manual ones that are dual climate in nnbs trucks though. Also I was looking at it and I don't know if any of the manual ones have the heated mirrors too so I might be screwed there. I'll only swap it if its easy, I don't really want to get into alot of work b/c that would defeat my purpose. I really don't care how it looks either. I just get annoyed changing the temperature and fan settings and scrolling through which vent it I want it to come out of. Seems like I'm getting in and out all the time and it takes longer to switch a/c around than it used to on my 02 with manual controls.
