OK, so order of disassembly is under the hood first, then inside the cab.

OK, what does this mean? I don't know what GM was selling 2 years ago and I do not know what is worth buying and what is not.

I have found 2 diverters in 2 different boxes. One is to choose from dash outlets to heater outlets, the flapper does not work well.
The other diverter is to choose from heater outlets or defroster outlets, and on that one the metal flapper is rusted off the hinge pin so it does not work at all.

What are my options for those 2 boxes?

What sort of resin are you talking about? Do you mean plain old epoxy that I squeeze out of tubes and mix, or something else?
