Heater core

Posted

Heater core in the 98 was steaming up the windows and would barely get to 120 over the winter so I need to replace it. I had every intention of replacing it later this year before it got cold out but im going to Colorado for a week at the end of this month and its in the 30's at night with high's in the 50's so im gonna swap it out this week. Ive ordered a TYC core and its supposed to be here Wednesday. The problem i foresee is the dash in this truck has a cover over it and the screws have been covered up. Im pretty sure I need to remove those screws but I dont know their exact location. I think the best way will be to use a small hole saw just above the screw but I need some help from a fellow member to find the exact spots the screws are in. If anyone could measure their dash from side to side and mark where the screws are and how far from the windshield they are, I would be greatly appreciative.

    I let mine crack a good bit more than that before I replaced it. That one only seems to have one crack in it.. 2 Daves are equal to and entire chicken farm.

OK, I've got work to do on my truck tomorrow. Doing front brakes. I'll grab my thermometer and check again. I'm sure I'm going to tip the 160F mark

    I saw a huge temperature difference between a 180-190-200 t stat. and the biggest change came between 190 and 200

    Mine runs right 140  with a 190 t stat. Plenty warm for me.
