Ok so today I was able to finish my heater core project. I spent about 75.00 total. I had to get a new heater core, heater valve, 2 rubber hoses for the core to valve, and a set of vice grips.
I noticed my check engine lights off! I think I fixed it when I replaced this damn core!
Took me about 2 hrs total. I had to learn as I went basically. But it is easy to do. Just had to remove the air filter and box to get some space. Un clamp all the hoses and remove them from the valve. Unclamp from the core exit spots. Now this part was hard my hoses were practically glued to it. Could tell from the plastic on the valve that the core was the original from the factory. Plastic in the valve was brittle and old feeling.
Installing the core just open the black box in passenger spot and I tossed it in their. ake sure your clamps are all on the tubes and got them all dialed in and on. Reinstalled the airfilter and box. Started it up and it sounds great! I need to go and grab some DexCool now and get it topped off.
Next thing this week is the heater control inside the truck. None of my knobs work!
Oh and after fixing the core, My check engine light is now off...
