To replace the heater core in a 1992 Ford F-150, first disconnect the battery and drain the cooling system. Remove the dashboard and any components blocking access to the heater core, including the passenger side air duct. Disconnect the hoses from the heater core, remove the mounting screws, and replace it with the new unit. Reassemble everything in reverse order, refill the cooling system, and check for leaks.
No
Look up under the passenger's side dash close to the kick panel, and you will see a heater case. there on the front is a removable cover, held on with several 7mm screws. Remove that cover, disconnect the heater hoses under the hood, and replace the core. Reassembly is in reverse order of removal.
Try flushing the coolant system out
what is the year model? 1995
I have done it a few times, to custom paint my dash. I forgot how, but I suggest looking at fordtruckworld.com. Many people have asked the same question, and gotten MANY responses. That's where I learned how the first time!
Is there any difference in replacing the heater core in the 2002 as opposed to an earlier model such as the 1997 ?...or is it pretty much the same job ?
send it to a garage???????
