heater core removal

[philo_beddoe]

Did the heater "corps" after dinner. Thought it was going to be a 3 day project. Did i do something wrong or right? It went in fine. Never had to lower the wheel well. Just the three studs on the firewall.

Looks fine, I think the only time the lower bolt is an issue is with A/C, the HVAC box sits right there, and would block that lower bolt, requiring the removal of the inner fender.

Ok, thanks. I was wondering what all the fuss was about that lower bolt access deal.

I also assumed you had A/C

The A/C boxes are a bit more difficult, mine is an AC truck and I was able to do it without dropping the fender, that was a few years ago tho.

No AC = very easy. Forgot you had a non AC truck. Good job

Thanks, means a lot coming from you guys. The shop wanted $150. I was determined.

Now that the ps pump bracket is back in, i could finally start it and test the new core. Clean hot dry air!!

[VileZambonie]

You know you could run it without the power steering pump belt on.

[philo_beddoe]

Yes, but i was too lazy to remove the alt belt in order to remove the ps belt. Couldnt start it with the ps belt dangling there.  It was nice to start it with everything fixed and complete.

Holy cow
 I've got a job lined up in front of me. Yes my truck has ac. But doesn't work at the moment it will before next summer rolls around. THIS Texan would rather have a working heater lol

  Good job.  Is that an aluminum heater core?

[philo_beddoe]

I believe so. It was a Murray brand. O'rielly. $26.
