- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- I replaced the heater core of my girlfriends 2008 Dodge Nitro 3.7 V6. I am hoping this video gives you some helpful tips. This is not to be a full step by step video, this is meant to help you get started and also to show how most of the dash comes apart.
One thing i forgot to mention in the video is you will need to refill your A/C after you do this job.
All us nitro owners are looking at this like “ Fuuuuuuuccckkk”
Indeed.. I'm already exhausted
@@D_tailedGent I was able to Put OFF mine For almost two years..wifes catching on now...gotta do it...September First tomorrow here in the Frigid North...
@@kristianfairchild7774 Well? How did it work out for you?
Man, straight from my heart, I love your work, love your video and appreciate your efforts. Thank you man, you are a ass savor. Whom ever disliked the video should try (WITH ONE HAND SHOOTING THE VIDEO) doing what you did for free then rethink again weather if the video was good or not. Thanks again bro
You, Sir, are a true legend.
i bump in the past in one car that has a simpliest heather core replacement, and that is ford fiesta i think it was 1999. just taking windshield wipers protection cover off and some electric valve and bum you have it, 4 screws and its out. i was laughing so hard. and then i remember mine vw golf 3, maaaan same thing as this dodge nitro. took me 2 days of labor. i'm not mechanic but doing our cars. i salute you to even record this.
seems this is a common prob...thank you for showing us at home fixers how to replace took me all weekend but got it done and now have heat....its going to be a warm winter....no more plug in heated seat cushions!!! thank you!!!
Thanks. The only issue is if the AC had a full charge, you could get hurt. Very helpful video. I'm grateful. I am also going to replace the 15 year old blower motor while I'm in there.
Watched this about 5 times! Decided that I could do it. Just saved about a $1000 ! Thanks. Went back together a lit better than I thought.
Dude what the hell , all that just to replace a heater core !! I rather replace the whole car !!! I got to give it to you , you got some patience sir. I had to do that once to my 1998. 5.0 mustang and said to myself never again...it wasn’t that bad...but what you did that’s insane..good job thanks
Agreed, well lets just say i did it to make a youtube video lol
I didn't know you needed a photographic memory to replace the heater core! Jeesh! Great job!
So In other words it’s gonna be a cold winter 🥴🥴😂😂
Fuckkkkkk
Damn plastic crap now a days, I miss ol' skol metal. Thanks for video.
I only have one question. Why on GOD's green earth did I buy a Nitro?
I live the two I bought lol 2007 and 2008🤷♂️ super simple to work on
Thank you sooooooo much for this vid saved me so much money ! Dude more videos please
Great video. Call the Dodge engineers to come and change it. New Camaro is worse, you have to remove the windshield and the dash.
Thanks for this great video. The lack of heat, during cold weather, is just about the only thing that my wife doesn't like about my Awesome Nitro Shock and I need to get it fixed. The only thing I need to do right now is to decide If I do it, which I can, or have someone else do it: Nine Hours VS $1100...
Exley looks like my 2010 dodge, without the outlet in the back, and the differences in the grille. I too am from NYS. I see your NYS inspection sticker. my heat sucks in my nitro and you are correct about the price to fix the heater core. I am from upstate NY near Albany NY about west and 45 min.
Oh wee, what a video. I watched this video several times. I need to probably change my heater core. Yet, this video lets me know I going to flush it several times before I attempt something like this. Love this video though. I love my Nitro yet not that much. :)
I saw another video where guy used lime away overnight and says it was a success
If it took as long this video, I'd take the dash apart. And, of course it definitely has to be leaking inside the suv/car. Otherwise, I'd flush the heck out of the heater core, first. Again, dude, love the video. 😊
Great video
You are "the man" info for all time.
Thanks your time.
That's a lot of work!
Thanks for sharing
If you look under the glove Box in Dodge nitros you will find 2 filters take them out and replace thim you will find it gets hoter. .replace thim before you replace heater core
Cheers Buddy.
Got a rattle behind the dash.
Gonna try tackle it now
Thanks for this demonstration however i did not see how you remove the facing over the instrument cluster can you please show me how , thanks
Amazing video, but dear god don’t use a screw driver to pry parts. Just get a pet tool, it’s only a few bucks. Saves you from tearing up the plastics
You have way more patience than me brother. I'm going directly to autotrader. :)
Well boys, I've been putting this job off for a few years now. But work is slow this month so I'm running out of excuses not to get this fixed. Damn.
Excellent video!!!
Also make sure tu drain the a/c gas before you remove the first silver hoses he removed in the video i dont know if yours is not filled but thats filled with ac gas
YA, he should have mentioned that not good for anyone and then the system goes down.
Just did one was a time consuming job. But I did not take the whole dash out just enough to,remove the hvac box. Also just dropped the steering wheel down
Yeah remove the bolt from ac lines and yank them apart. If it has any Freon in it you are about to get a big surprise!!!!
Also don’t undo any plastic trim with a screwdriver use a plastic trim tool. That’s as far as I got in the video. Someone who shouldn’t be working on cars trying to teach other people that probably shouldn’t be working on cars. If you did this kind of work in my shop you’d be fired on the spot!!!
Thank you I owe you a cold beer!!!
Well looks like it will be a cold winter
I have switched the hoses on my daughters heater core 3 times to keep the heat going in her nitro. Hopefully will never have to replace the heater core.
I tore mine completely apart in an hr. Really dread putting it back in tomorrow. In the COLD
Thank you EVER SO MUCH,,, gearing up to do my 08......well let you know how long....
nice video, well done and you gave some very good tips, did you replace the water pump/thermostat first? Working on 07 Nitro did all the other stuff but now looking at doing this at some point.
Great timing with the video. I'm doing my 2011 Jeep liberty. I couldn't believe they are the exact same thing. I have taken out all the screws, nuts, and bolts you have shown plus two more. However, the dash seems to be stuck still. The driver's side came loose but the middle and passenger side are solid. Any tips?
There are two bolts that hold the dash to the HVAC unit. There is a good guide for the Liberty here: www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=84546
Now that is why you never buy a Dodge. You have to take apart and build a whole car. I changed my heater core in my Gmc car twice in the 14 years I owed it in ONE hour. Just took the glove box out the there it was. 4 bolts and I was done.
First off thank you for the video. Second, my blend doors are not working properly, I have heat on the passenger side but not the drivers side. Do you think that I would be able to reach in a turn those doors to open them. I know that would in effect leave them in the same position all the time but I don't move it from defrost now. I don't need to move them once they are where they need to be for heat on both sides.
I hate the fact I have to remove all that for a heater core I did that on Chevy blazer zr2 took me a month now to get it fix after I replace it I was feeling too lazy to get it back together till now lol
After all dat hope you cleaned dat MF out !!! Dirtiest Nitro I ever seen......
You haven't seen my wife's Nitro
What about if your air-con is stuck on. Can't turn it off... It's on full.. ???
Unplug the AC Clutch under the hood...
Ooh that looks like it's hard
best way not to lose parts would be to vacuum before you begin
Or just vacuum when you end lmao 😂
Great video, very thorough and informative. However, send me your address so I can mail you a set of trim tools!

Спасибо!
Where are the fuse boxes located in a dodge nitro 2007?
I got a 2011 , I removed everything that you said, but the center is very solid , some advice or tips.
What i did was pull from one side, so i was in the passenger side and i tried to pull it from the corner, then i went to drivers side and pulled it from that corner. When i pulled it i noticed another bolt came off, which means i did miss one and it broke when i was pulling on it, however once i re assembled everything the dash sits just as solid as it did before i did this
Thanks for the video. Do i need to drain the coolant from the whole system before replacing the heater core, or is this piece independent from the radiator?
You need to drain the system. This Nitro had a leak so there was nothing in there
He definitely dont take care of shit. Throwing it around like that
Thank you for the video. Did you run across the issue of leakage from the heater core in the passenger floorboard? If so, did it effect the wiring that is located underneath the carpet liner?
Never saw any coolant or anything on the passenger floorboard
I had that leakage onto the passenger side footboard
Wow! Can I pay to fly you too my city to perform this?
Weher is your shop please
Great video, thanks for posting it. Few questions:
- did you remove the steering wheel or clock spring? Or just drop the column and laid it in the floor? I’ve seen several guys say that you need to pull the wheel, some the column
- how difficult is it to get the dash itself back where it needs to go after you get the new heater core in? Does it pull straight out?
Did you have to actually remove the dash completely or was there enough room to get the air box out without removing it?
Thanks for your help! I’ll be tackling this in a few weeks!
Hey Mike im glad you liked the video. I did not remove the steering wheel or clock spring I just put the seat as far back as it wold go and carefully lowered the steering column. You are gona want to do it carefully because you can damage the clock spring. The dash is a pain in the ass and kind of heavy. I would suggest have two people pulling on each side when removing it. I was pulling straight out on it. Once I got all the bolts off it was still very stubborn to come off. Getting it back on was easier it pops in to place but it is much easier if you have two people on each side. There is not enough room to get the air box out without removing dash. You need to take it out completley because there are a bunch of screws that cannot be accessed if it is still in its place. Also be careful with the vent doors and some plastic pieces break very easily on it.
It's actually easier to replace the heater core in a w210 series Mercedes. If you look at the video the heater core is out only 4 min into the video.

I recently did the heater core in my 2003 volvo wagon with 345k miles on the original heater core. It blew at my friends so I did it in his yard with random tools in his garage. It took just under two hours, which seems quick compared to this one, but on the series before this one, it took like 20 minutes and I think maybe a t-15 torx, a phillips screw driver and a garbage bag.
I think there must be a competition between auto designers on who can make the least user serviceable heater core installation.
Mercedes service manual ... "first remove the wipers..." what?
So u have to remove the whole dash to repair heater core that's alot of work to do just to replace no disrespect.
Was the heat issue the core or the blender?
All THAT to replace a heater core? LOL. I'd rather sell the car!
I did one on my Dakota same dam thing both pain in the ass sell it before u got to deep into it
Use a trim tool instead of a screw driver
Was it leaking fluid or just not getting hot?
I was watching the video, because I need to replace a Jeep Liberty kk passenger airbag, but this video don't show how to remove the airbag....
if someone has a video on how to replace a passenger airbag, please share.
Keep in mind the blend door actuators go in these and that would also cause no heat location under drivers foot well
Where are the last clips to bring down dashboard
Odd how this shows up in my RUclips. I have a 2009 nitro and the heat absolutely sucks
I’m just gonna ride my horse😲😲
Ok bt how do I turn on the heat??
Omg there is alot to remove just to replace the heater core that's alot to remove no disrespect but that's alot no wonder why shops charge alot to remove to fix heater core.
I'm pretty sure u didn't have to do any of this to replace the heater core🤦♂️
I have a 2010 and the inside is the same. I RATHER pay for a mechanic to do it.
How many hours of work
Took me 9 hours non stop
Not too bad it’s time consuming but not rocket Science lol 😂
Before you do anything drain the a.c. system!
Yep, this one had a leak so there was nothing in there
You don't really have to unhook the a/c lines. Remove the bolt below where they pass through firewall. Gives you just the room you need to pull the HVAC box back. Remove just the heater core box from inside the car. I think it was 3 #20 torx screws & 2 clips.
Just clean out the system it only takes 1 day at any repair shop
Cleani lines doesn't fix a leak
No thanks! Im just going to buy a new car.
what a messy car
.
Wasted your time. You could do this with half the work.
How?
Yeah how?
How?
Piss poor design
