I have a question for u all..
How do I know if my car is a heater delete car. There's no code for a heater on the fender tag n there's nothing on the inside under the dash n under the hood that would indicate there ever was one.. Any help would b appreciated
 
There should be insulation on the inside where the heater box would be. There should be two holes for the heater core pipes to stick through the firewall.
If it was a true heater delete car there would be plugs in the insulation that were never removed. These plugs are the same material as the insulation just never completely removed. Some pictures would probably be helpful.
Here is a picture of the firewall insulation, notice the plugs have been cut out but not removed. If you zoom in on the picture you might be able to see it. The factory would not have removed the plugs if a heater box was not installed.

I think hemi2much wants to see a picture of the firewall on the passenger side from inside the car, down by the passenger's feet where the heater box "would" be.

Also, please tell us about your electric air grabber actuator
