I got to say that this is one the best videos of how to replace the heater core very well explained step by step and very well editing nice job thank you so much for posting it
Bruh u make it look super easy lol. Shows the vast experience you have. Thanks for sharing this video
Thanks! In hind sight it wasn't too bad. There's just one nut behind the engine that was a pain to get off. I think the engineer who designed that knew it was his last day on the job.
Tip of the hat to you sir. Very informative. I've been spinning wrenches nearly 30 years and you accomplished in under 12 minutes what took me over 1-1/2 hours to do.
There is no way to do it with cuts in real life
Well, I got it! Broke the heater valve in the process but hey, I did it. Your video was spot on and very helpful. Keep em coming!
@@aborntexan Nice! Glad this video was helpful 🙂
Excellent Video! Step by step process was well explained including some simple mistakes that were shown and corrected. Kudos to the mechanic at Valley Mobile Automotive who did a fantastic job, I will be subscribing to your channel and sharing the link with others. Nice work! Where is your shop located?
Thank you for this video, I got my heater core out today. Mine is a 1998 Ranger, but everything was the same. Mine has a V8 transplant and that made the one behind the "valve cover" a major pain.
Glad this video was helpful! What V8 do you have strapped in there?
@ValleyMobileAutomotive I was told that the V8, transmission, and trasfer case were all pulled from a 97 Explorer. However, I think the transfer case is actually from an f150. All that transplant happened before I acquired it.
Hello, I have to change my heater core, but this is crazy, you have to disassemble the entire interior and exterior front... and I don't have any tools... thanks for your video
Its called the job of a million bolts..
Harbor freight for tools , probly get all you need for 40$. I did this job with HF tools. It's a $900+ job at a shop. It's a bear to finally get the heater core in and out. But it was very satisfying
Harbor freight
Thanks!
@@RelaxFurls Hey thanks! Glad this video was helpful 🙂
Video was very helpful. The heater core I got from autozone pouring all over my floor board was not lol.
Awesome video! I'll be doing this tomorrow on a 2001 Ranger. Hope I can make it thru as easily as you made it look
@@aborntexan You'll do good 👊. If you have any questions along the way feel free to post them here 👍
I’ve got a 2001 as well where my heat went last night, how did it go on your 2001? How long/how tough did it take for you?
@@ryanbenczeit wasn't too terrible... Lots of bolts and screws to keep up with. I think it took me 4 hours but that was with a lunch break and I also worked on a winch for a while so I don't know the exact time.
Thanks for the tutorial
Thank you sir
Thanks mate this is exactly what I needed to get my job done. Subbed!
@ValleyMobileAutomotive Great Video and very helpful! I have the exact same model. Question, where do you get the online service manual from? It would come in handy. Thanks!
Im having a strong coolant smell and film on inside of windshield and cant see any signs of radiator dripping? How do I know if it the heater core?
@@idiotburns Sometimes the heater core will leak onto the carpet and make it wet but not always. Usually coolant film on the inside of the windshield is a symptom of a heater core issue.
@ I found the drip behind the rubber mat, rubber floors so bo carpet
@ Heater Core come tomorrow, ugh, I will seal the vent to keep my window clean and probably skip friday work to repair it
I just performed this on my 2004 ranger. Everything went pretty well but the fan will not come on. I’m pretty sure I got all of the connections made under the dash. Any suggestions?
@@JimFrentzel I would start by checking for power at the blower motor. It should be a simple positive and negative at the connector. It's best to use a test light. If you use a voltmeter you should see 12 volts with the fan on high.
Question… you showed on the video initially that there were 4 exterior bolts and 1 interior bolt. However before you pull out the heater core you say there is five bolts on the exterior that need to be removed. Is there another bolt you forgot to show us?
@@jackl9838 There is one behind the engine. I used a racheting wrench to get it 👍
Dayum you definitely have this down. I on the other hand watched the video and said “🫤uh maybe another day”
You can make a Video by changing the evaporator of a Ranger 2017?
@@matimolinari9 I wish I had one to make the video
I have a 95 and I for the life of me cannot see the stud behind the valve cover. I replaced the EGR tube awhile ago and cannot remember if I saw one there
It's a booger to get to. It's about mid engine on the firewall. You can see it from the passenger side of the engine compartment.
I am trying this this weekend. I have a 99 Mazda b2500 (ford ranger). Wish me luck lol
@@lucascraze1880 Let us know how it goes. If you have any questions during your repair feel free to post them here. Happy wrenching 👍
@ thanks man 👍🏻 I’ll keep yall posted.
@ hi again- so one question. Once the AC and blower motor box has been removed- there’s one wire that connects the AC box to the fire wall. The connector looks like a small white box with “jelly” like tubes over the wires. I can’t imagine how to remove this without disturbing the “jelly” like wire covers. Have you seen this before? I can’t fully remove the AC box until this wire is disconnected
@lucascraze1880 I'm trying to visualize what wire you're talking about. It's been so long I can't remember 😕. Do the "jelly" tubes look like bullet connectors that can come apart?
@ so project was wrapped up last night- heater works!! I think they ended up being vacuum hoses for the air system but thankfully I didn’t have to disconnect. Thanks for much for this video- it got me through the 2 day project.
I need to replace mine. How much is the part and how much would somebody charge to do this ?anyone?
There is a link in the description for the part. Labor is around 6hrs.
$1000 labor Charge
Can you do a video on a 2000 f150? I can’t find a good video like yours.
Thanks for your comment. If I get to work on an F150 I'll try to record it 👍
@ where are you at? You can work on mine! Lol
How long did this take you to complete?
@@Mrpickles_23454 A solid day with filming. Book time is 6.3 hours.
This video saved my life. I dropped my phone inside the ventilator shaft.
@@turi420 ah man! Glad you got it back 😄
Tried this on my 96 ranger and now my car doesn’t turn on but will run😭 it’s my failt
@@arabiancat4712 What is it doing? Maybe we can troubleshoot the problem together.
You sound like ChrisFix
Im watching the video to know what wires to pull while being lazy
Yea I’ll just sell the car 😂
You don't even have to take the whole dash off though.
@@jgasparrr69 Just far enough to get to all the bolts and remove the heater core 👍
This looks pretty scary 😟
There has to be an easier and less expensive way to get the heater core out! Darn engineers! I think they deliberately design them to force people to see mechanics that has the proper equipment. They wanted $700 dollars to do this. They don't have a payment plan because no one pays them!
That's all you see on RUclips today is car fix it videos 😭
What would you like to see? Maybe your ideas can spark something new.
