Hi, I'm Jon Lewis with Shoreline Truck Parts.

In this video, we're going to show you how to install the Kenworth Upgrade Kit. We made some changes to our upgrade kit, so we needed to create another video. So in this video, we're gonna take some old clips from the past and also give you some clips from the shop where we have better lighting so you can see what's going on. So let's get started!

First thing we need to do is remove the air intake ducting. Next, we're gonna remove the (4) 10MM bolts to hold the lid to the heater box. And if you have duct tape, remove that as well, and I'm gonna say if you do have duct tape on the lid of your box, you probably need to replace the whole entire box.

And we do sell stainless steel boxes, so you can check those out in the link below. Once you remove the (4) 10MM bolts, you can then remove the lid and unhook your wiring harness from your blower motor.

Now we're gonna remove the baffle plate. First thing we're gonna do is remove the freeze switch probe and then the wiring harness from the electronic actuator. Then we will use a Phillips screwdriver or a Phillips bit to remove the electronic actuator. There are three Phillip screws holding the actuator in place. Lastly, we'll remove the two wires connected to your freeze switch, and then we will completely remove the baffle plate.

Now, we're going to reattach the freeze switch, the baffle plate using the two supplied five-millimeter lock nuts and then begin to answer the baffle plate into the box, reattach the two green wires to your free switch and note that it does not matter which terminal that you put the green wires on either one will work just fine using the three supply Phillips screws.

Go ahead and reinstall your electronic actuator to the baffle plate. If your actuator rod fell out of your control arm and disconnected from your actuator.

Here's a short video showing you how to attach the fresh air door to the control rod and the control rod arm. And as well as your actuator. Now plug the wiring harness into the electronic actuator and begin to slide the baffle plate back into position.

Note that the two back lock pins, the baffle plate goes underneath the two back lock pins and over the top of the two front lock pins. Now enter the freeze switch probe into the rubber grommet.

You'll want to enter it into the red line and stop at that point. Now we can begin to install the blower motor plug in the two wires to the blower motor. Make sure black is connected to black and the blue and black stripe is connected to the blue wire using three supplied 5MM screws to reattach the blower motor. Now, once all this is done, we can reattach the lid with the (4) 10MM bolts, reattach our fresh air ducting, and then you're all set to go.
