You have no freakin idea how helpful this was for me. Currently completely replacing the entire a/c system and heater core in my 78 short box and could not find any info on how to get to the blower motor. Mine is working but since I already had the evap and heater core out I was going to replace it. This video kept me from burning the rig to the ground out of frustration. Myself, and my now heated and cooled, 78 thank you!
You have no ideas how much I love someone putting up a video like this! Been trying to find for months. Forums help but visual steps are always better! Thank you!
Very good and informative video. I've got a 78 F-250 with a 460 in it and when the heater is on, it makes a whole lot of noise. Looks like the blower motor. I'll watch the video a few more times before tackling this job. Thanks for posting
Well i finally took out my noisy blower out of my 79 Bronco yesterday thanks to your video it came out and went in smoothly. Thank you Again for taking the time to post this most helpful video. Monty
Good job man thanks for the video. I noticed you said that the old motor would make your truck stink. Funny I think I have the exact same issue I'll be ordering a new fan too.
You did a good job on the video...But you left out a few things that the Viewers should know... Your truck didn't have an A/C Compressor or any of it's lines hooked up..... This is the A/C- Heater unit that is only found on Vehicles with A/C.... The only thing you failed to mention was, that if the Air Conditioning on the vehicle works... The Freon will have to be removed and the 2 A/C lines going into the side of the unit will have to be disconnected before you can remove the unit from the engine bay.... Once work is completed and everything is reinstalled, for the A/C to work again, The unit will have to be serviced and Freon reinstalled..... Other than this,,, your video is pretty much spot-on for this type of access and repair work...
Great job; thank you for sharing with us the processes of doing it. I have a question for you the cable that makes move the vent attached to the rod on minute 8:56 where it goes? In my truck, it doesn't move.
Mine was squeaking like a mf and now its not, thanks for the tutorial If the heater radiator is stuck in the bottom, you can tap it out by hitting the ends in the back with a rubber mallet so it doesnt deform them
Did you ever pressure check your evaporator to make sure there are no leaks? I was thinking about pressurizing it and spraying soapy water on it to verify no leaks.
question...I almost have my heater box out but it seems to be hung up on something. Are there a few screws that you have to take out from the heater duct that is to the left of the glove box opening? I was able to remove the heater duct that supplies air to the far right air duct. My thinking is the box is still somehow connected to the air duct in the middle portion of the dash. Any help would be appreciated.
From taking the whole box out of the truck to reinstalling it and having working heat in the truck, it probably took 4-6 hours total. I drove around with a piece of cardboard over the hole for a while. It is by no means a quick job.
Hi, This video has been real helpful …Thanks! I did notice that you didn’t put on that rubber insulation around the heater core. Did this all work out ok? Just curious because I’m doing mine now and the rubber is all disintegrated. Thanks Again!! -Pieter
I was lucky enough to buy a truck that's missing many nuts and bolts so I didnt have to wrestle with it. You may try coming in through the cab side. If you need more working room, you can always remove your glove box. Hope you're able to figure something out.
Jedidiah Crone Thanks for the video and the help. The nut is off the cab side, but the bolt seems to still be stuck on the engine side. I might not need to remove it since I got the nut off but we will see.
Thank you so much! Very helpful. I am doing this right now and cannot figure out what the purpose of that wire that goes through the evaporator. Does it hook up to anything on the inside?
Your a piece of absolute dog shit. This video was super informative. Your probably the type of guy that likes to judge other people because you don’t have enough control over your own life. Get a life and FIO.

Great video. No bs just straight info. I’m about to do this on my 79 bronco.

Fantastic Tutorial….Thanks a lot for this. Going to do mine next week. If you were close by I would buy you a beer ….or two. Thanks again Jeddah!
Very informative right down to the last detail i will now tackle this on my 1979 Bronco with confidence Thank You!!!
Thanks so much for this video. I took mine apart 2 years ago and completely forgot how it reassembles. woops!
The Haynes manual says doing that with a truck with Factory AC is more than the home mechanic can handle. I don't think so and you proved it.
Good job man thanks for the video. I noticed you said that the old motor would make your truck stink. Funny I think I have the exact same issue I'll be ordering a new fan too.
Thank you or this. I have to replace my heater core and fan motor and I have watched this several times before I start.
Thanks for this video, this helps me a lot with my 78´ 350F. I have the same heater configuration and has to change the heater core . thanks👍
Thank god for this video, ive got a 74 f250 and helped a ton
Great job 👍. Good video.

It should go to the dash where the AC/Heat controls are.
GREAT explanation & videoing 👍🏼
Awesome video brotha!!!
Way to go Ford. Turn a simple 15 min job into half a day.
Mine was squeaking like a mf and now its not, thanks for the tutorial

I have the same truck.. Thank you for posting !!!! Please do more vids on the Ford

nevermind. I was able to get it removed.
How the hell did you get the bottom bolts out inside the fender???
Literally at every point I needed a tutorial the video cuts away. How do I get the box back in? Please include the difficult parts in the future.
Same way it came out pal. Take some pictures for yourself next time.
There should be an update kit to mount the blower motor from the other side, for easy access...
8:29, whoever designed that, should be kilt...
How long time wise did this take roughly without filming.
From taking the whole box out of the truck to reinstalling it and having working heat in the truck, it probably took 4-6 hours total. I drove around with a piece of cardboard over the hole for a while. It is by no means a quick job.

It worked alright for me. It may not be quite as warm as it could be but it still heats up the truck.
the wire on side of purple wich color is?
Did you have to take out the bolt on the bottom left corner, looking from the front?
Yes, I believe there are a total of three bolts along the bottom that hold the box on the firewall.
Jedidiah Crone Dang, how did you get the one in the hole between the heater box and fender support that is super far down in the hole?
I was lucky enough to buy a truck that's missing many nuts and bolts so I didnt have to wrestle with it. You may try coming in through the cab side. If you need more working room, you can always remove your glove box. Hope you're able to figure something out.

Thanks buddy.
Thank you so much! Very helpful.
I am doing this right now and cannot figure out what the purpose of that wire that goes through the evaporator. Does it hook up to anything on the inside?
I believe it’s just a thermistor but I am not 100% sure
@@cronedentside74 so I asked a ford forum and its actually a de icer!
Thanks
I’m have the worst luck possible trying to get to several of these bolts
Horrible
