Dude you my hero, I was dreading changing the wifes heater core, everyone told me it was a 2 day job ,watched your vid 3 times,,, in and out by myself 6 hrs.Thanx
After watching this video for a month I finally build up the courage to dive into this job. THANKS for the video my friend it help a BUNCH. Keep up the great work, quality videos like this one are greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
+crodz530 HOORAY!!!!
While this may be my longest video yet, the hope is that it may help someone to fix their own heater core even though they don't have hundreds of dollars to pay someone else to do it. Thus having defrost this winter and being safer themselves as well as protecting others as well. It's long, but it's good reference material considering it's a 4.7 hour job. I did edit as much transition fluff as I could. There's shooting competition bonus footage at the end. For more of that stuff visit my other channel in the description "theskiviking." Thanks!
nice video.....tyvm
being a fellow tech, working in a gm dealership, the pieces come off fast... but my god theres alot of little shit... i dunno if you have had to play with any newer ones.... 2011 buick enclave was the newest and worst i've had apart, but then i was replacing the whole dash harness........ or the time i pulled a hvac module out of a 2007 2500 HD, the woman working for CN stored her vents in the vent grates, the second she told me that spot was great for holding pens.... was one of thos "you gotta be kidding thats why you got not heat on drivers side"
Kevin Rogers
LOL! Wow! Why does no one else store pens in the vent grates? Oh yeah, because it's a days work to get them back out of there so your HVAC works! lol

Hola como estas? Solo queria hacerte una pregunta, me gustaria saber si ay alguna manera de cambiar el heather core en una 2005 jeep grand cherokee hemi, si quitar todo el panel de enfrente!! De antemano grasias
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I know that dragged the job down, but you truly have helped out folks get a few more years before biting the big one with a vehicle purchase.
I know this is an old video but know that it's still helping out a ton in the JGC world! It made the task an absolute breeze, just knowing upfront where every fastener is, or what harness needs to be disconnected is more than half the battle. Really appreciate the video and the level of detail. Thank you!!
Is evacuating the ac a skippaple step? Because I have no idea how to do that
I watched the video and it helped me a lot with getting the heater core out of my wife's jeep and I would like to thank you for your time and effort put the video together. Thanks Joe ladd
These jobs are a Mechanics Nightmare !!!! Nobody really appreciates the real effort invested until they see it !!!!!!! Thanks for the Video !!!!! Been there , Done it !!!!! God Bless !!!!!!!😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
You are very welcome
Thanks a million for the video! That one lonely bolt up above and just to the right of the steering column had me stumped for a while!!! Enjoyed the rambling commentary as well. Awesome job!
I appreciate the effort to put this video together. It was a great help with my '02. It took me 9h from start to finish and I came close to finishing in 3. The vid sure helps removal of the dash, putting it back was more challenging. TIP: document when every screw came from. There are lots and it is easy to lose track of where they come from.
This is one of the best disassembly videos I have ever seen bar none! Excellent job! Thanks for all of your effort!
Brian you're my hero. I spent 7 hours today..just me, you and my jeep. Got in and out no major problems.
Can’t thank you enough for the video. Changed the core in daughters 2001 JGC. Seriously don’t think I would/could have done it without the tutorial. Plus my wife and I would laugh at the extras you threw in there.
Thanks again.
Hey man had an issue with no air and heat in my jeep. This video summed up my issues and I like how you took the time to explain the air system and all plugs / actuators and what they do very informative and helps me get the job done faster !!!
Dude out of all the videos i have watched about this job. None of them are this detailed in how to do it. 10/10
You are the man!!!! I watched your video on the F4i timing chain like 3 years ago! This is my second grand cherokee heater core. I actually didn't check the condensation tube after the install and had water puring out of that bucket on the P-side floor board LOL. Your video is a refresher course!!! Thanks!!!
Thank you for the video!! Needed to change the heater core in my daughters Jeep and the shop wants 3/4ths what it’s worth to do this work. With the help of your video I was able to do it mostly myself in 6 1/2 hours. My back hates me, but I saved a boat load of money
Video helped me a lot! Did the heater core swap this weekend, son's 2001 Cherokee. Thanks so much for posting.
The WJ is famous for the foam going to shit, blend doors biting the dust also. I fixed all this with my 04, real fun! Blocked the vents going to the back and with new foam sealing it blows like the noise suggests it should now.
Just got the dash out on an '00 Grand Cherokee. Yes, that plastic clip on the passenger side was a real bugger!
Thanks for making this video! It was very helpful!
I'm getting ready to tackle this job and this video is absolutely helpful. Thanks for making this.
Now this guy can explain things right !!!!! Good job freind
brian you are a legend for doing this video thank you so much. I pulled my dash apart but the wiring harness got stuck so i really had to take it extra apart and was afraid i wouldnt be able to figure out where everything went back. I think i will though but your video is awesome, I know i will be able to get mine back together now thanks!
Brother you've been most helpful. I watch some videos and I follow their lead it took me to the unknown! I watch your video and it helped me out tremendously thank you very much!!
Excellent video on the jeep, much appreciated, Thank you.
YOU were the only one that's did it right I've found in 2 years recently 👏 KUDOS AND thanks
Thanks Brian, your video helped me do the heater core in my '00 4.0 WJ in 6.5 hours, though I still have to put the console back in.
thanks for posting this video. I replaced my heater core today, and this was a huge help.
Thank you so much for sharing, this has been an invaluable tool for this project
Wow tons of work. Thank you.
As a young mechanic this is exactly the video I'm looking for, thank you very much!!
Briliant info video thank you for the INFORMATION COVERED really appreciated TOP VIDEO thanks Colin Thompson from Czech Republic
Thanks Brian for the video getting ready to tackle mine on my 2001 jeep Cherokee, just installed a new 4.7 engine and realized there is antifreeze coming out of the frame under the carpet looked under the carpet to find a puddle, I must have busted one of the heater core lines in the process. The video had great detail appreciate it...
Great video. It’s going to help drastically this weekend when I do this to my jgc.
Impressive skills Brian - Thanks....The ending was pretty cool too!
Thanks- I'll have some more up soon on theskiviking in the description soon.
ABSOLUTELY GREAT JOB ON THIS VIDEO!!!!! This has calmed my nerves down a bit. 20 years ago, it wouldn't have even been a thought for me to just simply jump in and make things happen, but these days, I don't move like I used too, and it has been many years sense I had to yank a dash for this issue and was actually dreading it, especially with the idea that it was calling for 5 to 10 hours, pending who you talk to, which for me meant that it was going to take like 10 to 20 hours.... lol... but, you really made this look smooth, the fact that you stayed at it for the 30 or so minutes... I will be completely content if it takes me 3 hours to get the dash out of my way... never mind putting it back together... Thank you for taking the time and the surgical effort with the camera.. I am writing this on 01-08-20016, it is gonna be a few weeks before I actually get into this on mine, as I am finalizing some other issue, so I kindly ask, will you and your wife keep this video up for a while? I will post back here to mention how I did, based on following your instructions, lol... and then you can remove the video... just kidding, keep it posted, the narration that you did, step by step and the reasons why for each step, this video will help many folk out of heart ache. Great job! Drew
love your vids, informative and funny. Ive been twisten wrenches for a living for over thirty years (oh my) and its hard to find humor in drawing blood unintentionaly from ones self. or in having deisel fuel run into your armpit while laying in a snow bank. just bought a jeep cheeroke and the guy says he thinks it may have a core leak. took off the radiator cap and found a puddle of stop leak.. no pressure test required here! Ill have you and the laptop on the dash while I work...thanks, bob the builder
Great Video, Thanks for taking the Time!!! Extremely Helpful!!!
Will be doing this this weekend on a 2002. Hopefully this vid will help me get the job done!!!
Best video I've seen. I have been following along here. I have some friends coming to help out to finish it but thanks to this video I've been able to get started on my own. Now if I could just get those damn hoses off!
One tweak - you can disconnect the heater hoses at the thermostat/water pump to just drain the core. This will save a little time draining and filling the complete cooling system. It will also make a little less mess at the firewall.
ÀND how is that
Thanks for fixing Brian's lunch.
They pack these cad designed vehicles tight.
(Brians wife)- Man needs food. He does better when he's fed.
This video helped me greatly today. thanks for posting. Though it took me approx.12 hours to complete- its DONE, just in time for winter.
Just finished this up yesterday using your video as a main reference. Just wanted to say thanks for the great job. It was a massive help. I had to do pretty much the same thing to my wife's Equinox a few years ago to replace a blend door so I had a pretty good idea what I was in for. Thanks again!
+Jon Morgan You're welcome Jon!
I am about to rebuild my entire hvac box in a dual climate 02 WJ. This video will help.
Excellently unfolded
thank you for the detailed how to sir.Feel better about attempting this this weekend.
Wow, good job, complete. Amazing what needs to be done. Good time to change the turn flasher also.
WOW! Not looking forward to replacing the heater core. However, I am tired of vacuuming the coolant off the floor....Very nice job and you have a great attitude. Really liked this long video. Persistence - the key to Success.. Thanks!
Thank the Lord for your video after watching it I tackled the job and it went great thank you
Hello hope you got better,happy lead slugging, wanted to ask did that air workvfor ur cutter(?
Awesome job on this video. I have to replace mine, so I'll be staring at this for the next couple of months. Thanks dude.
Thank you very much! Ridiculously helpful!
Excellent detailed video. Surprise bonus points for the zombie shoot!
loved the vidieo just got a 2002 wj and it needed blend door replacement from the dealer I see know how much needed to do it just in case.glad they did it!!!it seems they made them with cheap plastic parts but the replacement parts are made with metal which is good,, thanksfor good vid...snooker out...
Good video. Only thing o would recommend...check your blend doors and take an air compressor if you have one, and blow alot of air to clear out leaves and debris. Thoroughly check everything because you do not want to have to take it back apart. Blend door actuator is known to fail on these jeeps as well as the blend doors break. Good luck! If I can do it, and this guy can do it. So can you. Basic tools...nothing special....just need ac recharged n coolant topped off, be sure to bleed coolant well....
After seeing you and Eric the Car Guy put yourselves through all of that just for a heater core, it must be the most dreaded job in car repair. Feel better Brian. Now that the job's done take a much deserved break.
You did a great job explaining and showing how to do this job I wish you would have had a list of what tools were needed but I guess every wife has aggravating friends
just did mine today.. Followed the vid and it went fine. Thanks
Hey Brian, great video ! I have a good one here , someone messed up the driver door to body wiring . Slit the rubber boot cut the wires to short , now need to replace body to door wiring harness ! Has connector that plugs into door harness , that's easy . What all has to be done to replace harness under dash . Are there connectors or spliced in ?
Ive done these before in the past but not for a long time… ive watched your vid before and needed a refresher. Im unfortunately doing one on a V8 and im also not im the mood for it
Thanks so much Brian. This video was really helpful. I just did this job on the same model Jeep. It took me two long days. The guys who installed an alarm years ago ran wiring through the bracket that's mounted below the steering wheel so I had to cut and rewire. I also had to apply new foam onto a few of the blend doors because they were soaked with coolant. When I finally got it installed there was one connector I couldn't find. It's under the glove box next to what you called the HVAC motor switch, I believe. I connected the white one and a black one which plugs into a unit under, but there is that one loose one I can't find the mate for. It's black on the outside and blue inside. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the HVAC motor also because it's not working. Also, would the engine overheat if I put the heater hoses on the wrong inlet/outlets? Thanks again for all your help.
Thank you for this video, saved my bacon.
Thanks for the video. I am on my third new Grand Cherokee and I like my current model (2005) and know from experience that in the future I will be pulling the dash for either the heater core or evaporator. Did this job take more than the 4.7 hours?
Very good work BRIAN!!! THUMBS UP!
i got one of thease not broke yet,nothing like gun fire to help with heater cores!!!lol ,did 99 ram not to bad this looks bad!! thanks,just did temp fix on blocked blower fan rec door broke set it with a screw ,works ,cust happy ,2004 jgc v8.not looking forward to this,ram ratchet straps wasnt as bad as i thought went without ac for a few years changed bolth,thanks for vid .gunfire target jeep????!!!! love to skeet shoot.sport of kings!! 2nd hand lions lol.
Dude you should be an instructor. Great video. Thanks for making it.
Great video Brian but I think if I need this done I will drive the 789 miles from my house to yours and tell my wife were on vacation. Get to feeling 100% again, and always glad to see Spanky.
Thanks
Excellent vid! One tip to add is take out the drivers seat. Or both if needed. It really opens it up for room.
Love the video. I just bought a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It has heating problems. I thought it was the heater core. So I went and got one. I have not changed it yet. The other day I turn the temperature control knob from heat to cold and got good heat and when you turn the knob the other way you get cold. I don’t know if anyone has work on this Jeep heater before. Was wondering if you mite have any idea what it mite be? I don’t know if I have a vacuum or electrical problem.
great Video!!!!!!! thank you very much for all the little details !!!!!!!!!!
Brain, hello sir. I am using this video to replace my son's heater core in his '02, but 2 little brass clips fell from some plug I believe while removing the steering column. Thanks, Jim
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO MAN, REPLACING MY HEATER CORE TOMARROW!!!!!!!!!
Great vids, thanks for sharing and keeping them G rated.
thanks, from Scotland
I have always gone by the rule if it is working don't fix it, but would it make sense to replace the ac condenser on a 2000 WJ since you have the dash out? Or do they work forever.
Brian! Excellent video. Just completed the procedure and went really well. Tried to start the engine and it runs for approx. 2 seconds before dying. Did I miss something? Perhaps reseting the fuel switch? I'll keep looking for and answer. But anyway, top notch video. Couldn't have done it without you!
Maybe vacuum lines?
Hey Brian, thanks to your video I got mine done in 6 hours. Here's my issue though. My seat belt light and air bag light are now on constantly. Any advice on where these plugs were located? I'm positive I connected everything but maybe they are loose? Idk.
Great job and super helpful
Excellent VIdeo. It helped tremendously.Thanks
Brian Great job on heater core Please help with much smaller job Heater resistor seems like it should be easy but cant find the two screws holding it in 98 grand cherokee limited with auto temp
Great video! Ran into an issue. After putting it all together vehicle will not start. I’m assuming it has something to do with the anti theft system. If you know anything about this issue please let me know.
Were you ever able to resolve that issue?
Thank you for posting this video. It is very helpful.
Hi, I'm almost sure that my problem is the recirculation door because I removed the glove box and I don't see it - so I think that's blocking the air and i get little air through the vents - I'd like to try to fix this myself because my mechanic said if the dash has to be removed it will be about $800 My question is - i heard you must empty the AC and also when it comes to the steering wheel that I should lock it? what other situations do you think I should worry about?
Thank you - and btw this is a great video!
what do you use to look up labor guides and wiring diagrams? thanks brian for a great video
Nice vid thanks causes I didn't no how I was going 2 do the same truck I have keep up the good work u made it look eazy.
I read that the doors on the HVAC unit are prone to failure for various years around 2001. If one takes out this unit to replace the heater core, I would replace the doors as well. Wouldn't want to do that job twice.
Thanks! Big time help! Keep up the good work!
Nice. I appreciate you posting tool links, think I'm gonna need a bigger box sometime. lol
My mother has a 2000 explorer she has similar problem but source of her slime on inside windshield is from smoking.
You're welcome! Here's another link/ thing to try for smoke on the inside of the glass. → www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052V1JA2/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0052V1JA2&linkCode=as2&tag=httpwwwyou00f-20&linkId=TTUIIVMO6GDMRTCJ
Just came across this video thank you very much it was very helpful I'm not going to replace my heater core I rather sell it to the junkyard LOL
im 2 hours into this right now in 95 degree heat........put it off for almost 2 years....
on forums everyone says don't risk the radiator drain plug take off the lower hose + coolant plug in block...because the drain knob breaks so easily (i havent gotten to this part myself but im going to skip the drain knob just to be safe)
32:05 there is a filter for the cabin air, it's under that plastic wiper grill panel thing
withot your video i would of never done the same thing- but i did it and all came out well-Thank You
When taking out the steering column, keep the wheels and steering wheel straight before unbolting? when you put it aside how do you store it? Or do you just stand it on the steering wheel and make sure no one touches it?
You're the best, bro)). I want to work in your car service)))
HELP!!! First, Thanks for the video, got the job completed by watching your video. When it was all done, I all the sudden got 5 or 6 check engine codes pop up that weren't there before I started. Any ideas of what that would happen???
Great Star Wars/chinese finger trap picture !!!!!
"It's a trap!"
Nice video Brian! Don't think I'll be doing this job any time soon. Beyond my scope of practice. Chrysler junk. Subaru, Toyota, Honda and Mazda. In that order.
Do you need to drain the whole system for just replacment of the heater core? All of the hoses are on the top and so cant you leave it? There will be a little leaking but not too much, right?
Hey big guy, I know this is an older video but, would you by chance have made one of replacing the blend Doors on a 2005 “WK” Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Brother in law has one that the door doesn’t close for heat any more. I tried to manually close it for the winter but the fasteners on both sides are shot and won’t move the door.
I haven’t removed a dash before and all I can find are for the “JK”
I have the same Jeep Cherokee passenger side won't blow any heat. Would this help with it??
