2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Heater Core

[rono]

Does anyone have a copy of Joe Donnelly's article about replacing the heater core, that can be copied, scanned, emailed or something? Issue 46 is sold out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is what i used when i replaced mine, took about 6-7 hours to do over 2 days, but i rebuilt the box while it was out and replaced the ac coil also.

Where are you in TX?

Sorry to correct you but that looks like the a/c evaporator.

If u get to a/c evaporator u have the heater core right there. Most say after all the work to get in there change both!!!! Kinda of preventative to possible prevent doing it aghain in a short period of time.

I am located in Hawkins, TX. About 20 miles north of Tyler. I have also considered changing the condenser while I am in here. My A/C is not cold, however there is still pressure on the lines. I'm thinking the problem may be the expansion valve.

A bit too far away. You know the article has also been reprinted in issue 59 (I think it is 59).

The information was summarized in Issue 59, p. 90 due to increased interest.

My heater core was relatively easy to replace.

The PITA was the evaporator. #@$%!

You could do the HC w/o removing the entire dashboard.

To do the evaporator, it pretty much has to come out.

At least it needed to on my 98.

I did not know about the article in issue 59, Thanks everyone.
