    POS FORD

    If you own a Ford truck and the heater core goes out... SELL IT.

     I just spent nine hours removing the ENTIRE dash and replacing the heater core. I didn't count but I think there was about 60 screws and 20 pieces.

    It is back together. I decide that there were a few screws that didn't need to be installed.  HEHE

     Dodge Intrepids are the same way!!  I put myself through college changing them...

     Been there done that on my parents old '99 Expedition years and years ago. It was a pain in the ass and  I had a few screws left over too.

    if you own a ford truck, the heatercore is likely to go out, seen quite a few in our Light truck shop, make sure to use distailled H2O going back in it

    If you want it done right, do it yourself - then explain what you did to the engineer.

    So, how's that gas mileage?

    FWIW, I get about 10-11mpg on my '05 F150 which is about 95% city.

     I'm sure you saved a ton of money doing it yourself...

    I hated replacing the heater core on my buick skylark work car. Not as many parts but my body is not made to fit in that small of an area for that amount of time. I just had to think of the money saved by doing it myself... 

    I'm so happy I can't even feel my arms!

    I did a evaporator on a 1989 mustang GT once, I had to take the whole dash board out. Not too bad for my first one. Went to Midas for the mechanic to refill the system with freon and he was amazed i did it myself for the 1st time. But that was a mustang, i'm sure the truck is a different story.
