Keep the car's owner's manual handy. Remove the screws or bolts
that hold the heater core in place. It may be that you need to

Disconnect the intake and outtake hoses from the heater core.
Remove the heater core from the car, taking special care to keep

How do you remove a heater core from a 95 ford F250 pickup?

Remove the glove-box door. Behind that is the heater core cover
on the interior, passenger side of the firewall. Remove that cover
and there is the heater core. Open the hood and look where the
heater hoses enter the front right passenger area of the exterior
side of the firewall. Disconnect the two heater hose clamps and you
can then remove the heater core.

How to replace heater core on a 1991 F250?

If it is the same as a 92 F250 4x4 diesel it's actually pretty
simple. First, take out the glove box by opening it and pressing
inward on the two tabs at the bottom. Right behind there is some
wiring, and a wiring module that needs to be disconnected and moved
aside. After that is off the black plastic heater core cover can
clearly be seen. There are about six screws that hold that cover
on, a couple are a little difficult to get to. Once the cover is
off you will see the core. Disconnect the lines in the engine
compartment and with some effort, you will be able to pull the core
out from behind the firewall (it is a little difficult as the
clearances are a bit tight). Replace the new heater core, replace
the cover, wiring and wiring module, glove box and connect the
hoses. Run the vehicle until warm, and then double check the
coolant level.

88 ford f-250 does the heater core remove from inside or outside?

I have a 1993 ford f250 and just replaced my heater core by just
taking out the glove box. I believe it is the same on an 88,
although it is a little tight. Once you take the glove box out
there should be a black cover over the heater core, just remove
that. Next open the hood and disconnect the two hoses going into
the heater core. Now the heater core should just pull out. Do the
same in reverse to put the new one in It is pretty simple, but in
some cases you may have to take the dashboard off, which is a pain.
Pretty sure on an 88 f250 you be able to go it through the glove
box.

Is heater core removal the same on a 2000 ford 250 super duty as the 2002?

I belive it is the (I have a 99 4x4 v10 f250) I have had to
replace TWO heater cores in 14 months . My neighbor is my mechanic
and owns a shop. I only put 6000 miles on the first replacement
heater core before it started leaking. So my mechanic made a call
and you need to make sure you GROUND the new heater core you in
stall it will stop Electrolisis builded up. The orignal core lasted
8 years. And you can replace the core by removing it thru the glove
box. It cost me $240 to have everything done,when it started
leaking again after 11 months I was only charged for the heat core
itself about $100 bucks for a oem core. Begald you don`t have a
f-150 they have to change the core from under the hood and it is
about $700.00 dollars. Be gald you bought the f-250...
