Default Where to get air door vacuum actuators

Hi all,

I'm working on a '98 blazer, and one of the two vacuum door actuators under the left side of the dashboard has a leaky diaphragm. Both actuators on the left side have two vacuum hoses going to them. Of those two, this is the one that has one hose hooked to the front of the actuator and one to the back, not the one that has both hoses side by side. Where can I buy one of these actuators? They seem impossible to find.

I have not heard of many of these failing. Therefore it might be worth getting what you need from a wrecking yard.

The only place I coukd think of that might have these new is Dorman.

Dorman does not make them. Hopefully they will soon-there's a ton of these still on the road, and many of them are 20 years old or close. By the way, I actually found a new one on ebay a while after I started this thread. It said recently listed, and it was because it wasn't there not long before. I bought it right quick.
