Just replaced my Heater Core...pics


Took me 6 hours to do it. From start to finish. Then I spent another 2 hrs on it the next day because my speedo cable unhooked it's self when I droped the dash. So I had to take the driver side of the dash off to get behind the speedometer gauge and push the cable back into it's socket. Overall it was easy just very time consuming.











It's done

just do it. It's not that hard. I was putting it off for such a long time. I woke up sunday morning and said what the heck. I started by taking out the seats. Then the center consil and went from there. It's pretty easy. take the glove box out and keep on on going and going till the dash comes off.

I've never had heat in AZ. The only reason I would want it is to defrost the windshield lol. Mine is bypassed.. Air don't work either

i did mine in an hour and a half... after the 6th time. what did you replace it with?

i used advanced auto for mine, quality was crap. just glad i worked there at the time and they were free. also dont forget to flush your coolant out because if the coolant is dirty you'll get electrolisis and smoke another heater core reall fast.

p.s. dont feel bad it took me about 8 hours the first time i did it
