The first thread (top sticky)It is there you will find important news items/helpful info concerning service/repair/helpful hints to keep our trucks like new and better. You want the one about the Borgeson. It's the first thread you arrive at starting from the top of the first page on our forum.

Do you think they'll hold out till you get to Arizona... I've got both of them sitting in the shop somewhere and they're yours if you need them. They didn't work well with my swap cause I inverted the exhaust manifold and the turbo. Let me know... . I just ran longer heater hoses a different direction to fit in 3X (THE FORD)



BTW looking forward to meeting someone else that isn't afraid to do something out of the ordinary.

Chainsaw, those two coolant pipes are a part of your heater core. I imagine if want to replace them you will have to replace your heater core. I did my heater core and evaporator in my 89, not a fun job. Probably worth having a local shop do the dirty work for you to swap out the heater core. Heater core from napa was $42. It was alot thicker than the (probably) oem core. Faster heat afterwords. Bill

backroad, I'll try they haven't changed from 2 years ago when I got the truck so I would think so. if not i'll get new ones. if they do I'll get yours!!! thanks a bunch.



And one other thing I send you money for shipping if they crap out!!!!!
