Question Auto climate control

Another question on this, my 2008 F250 with auto climate has decided to only blow heat on the passenger side...do you agree that it is an actuator? If so how hard or easy is this to fix and what is the best fix.


While here, on another note, I noticed a rubber line hanging right over my front diff it looks like it could go onto a nipple coming off the diff? Is this a vacuum line for the diff that I need to put back?

Thanks guys for any help!

You are probably seeing your vent hose. As differentials heat up, the pressure needs to go somewhere besides blowing out wheel seals.
Just check to be sure the base end, connecting to the axle sleeve, is secure.

Yep...is absolutely the actuator. My '08 did the same thing, same side even. I had the dealer do it because it requires removing the whole dash (though I believe someone did it on their own without removing the dash...Can't remember who or which forum). It cost me around $800 for the dealer to do it, and I had him replace the other actuator while he was in there.
