      YIKES. THATS a lot of doodads to un-doodad. it s crazy when you understand that those vehicles roll off the assembly line one every 1.5 to 2 minutes 24/7/365 so you can see that any given assembly step in the OEM assembly line has to take less that that cycle time---Obvious that these things go together a WHOLE HELL of a lot faster and easier than they come apart. the "cockpit assembly" takes a lot more stations on the assembly line than any other part of the car , usually two peeps on each station on each side of the vehicle . it is mesmerizing dance to watch these folks put these vehicles together. i've got to this same dash R&R on my 06 sub. rats got inot the dash and chewed wires so that nothing works --go to figger out what got munched .....damn sure not loooking forward to it

    Did both cores on my 2001 Silverado. Removed 4 nuts and metal plate under steering column, but did not loosen or lower the column. Did disconnect steering shaft and gear shift linkage. Did not remove the two screws behind the cluster, but did pull the two bolts behind the drivers side windshield vent duct. It was also unnecessary to remove the upper metal brackets and the upper ductwork. Once the dash was pulled back on the passenger side, I was able to remove the entire HVAC box.

    This past weekend I removed my dash so I could get to my HVAC box. I thought it was worthwhile to actually remove everything so that I could inspect all wires and will be giving it all a good clean while I'm there. But to do this, I actually found it to be pretty simple to just remove the steering wheel. I think dropping the steering column is nuts. Just pop off the airbag with a flathead (from behind, there's a couple spring loaded bars that have to be levered to free to airbag module), remove the nut, and then pop off the wheel with the puller. I had to do this anyway because I'm replacing the old worn out turn signal switch as well as the shifter lever boot, but I feel like this is the way to go as opposed to dropping the column. Maybe I'm wrong, but just wanted to throw this out there in case no one had considered it. Because it also removes the risk of messing up your alignment with the clock spring.

    Fantastic video as far as showing the proper way to do it. You can save time by using a ratchet strap to hold the passenger side of the entire dash assembly once you free the top support bolts and just pull the dash back to give you room to access it. No need to bother with the steering column or AC. can be removed and replaced in roughly 4 hours if you have the appropriate tools.

      All done. Much easier this time.
      My vehicle is a 2000 Silverado. A couple tips for this truck:
      I used sandwich baggies, labeled with a sharpie to organize the hardware. I also labeledthe bags witha time stamp fromyour videofor quick reference. Zero fasteners left over and every one exactly where it should be.
      The highbeam sensor in the middle of the dash pad comes out with a quarter turn counter clockwise. Easier than unplugging it.
      The two15mm bolts on driver side don't have to come out.
      The top duct doesn't have to come out.
      Take off the boot for the AC drain so it doesn't get crimped on reassmbly, slip it back on before you re-mount the accumulator.
      A ratchet strap hooked between the dash and upper rear door latch on the passenger side will hold the dash out of the way.
      Have some foam weatherstripping on hand to replace any of the foam gaskets which may have deteriorated, and for the heater core itself as the new one doesn't come with.
      Have a shop vacuum handy to clean up the coolant from the passenger side floorboard. I vacuumed the coolant up, poured water on the rug and vacuumed again.

    • @firebird77clonefirebird89
      @firebird77clonefirebird89 2 года назад

      I THOUGHT it was all done:
      Brake lights, cruise control didn't work, and the headlights came on as soon as the truck started. Instead of turning on when the parking brake was released.
      I left a plug disconnected at top left of dash. Probably didn't need to unplug it at all.
      Hey, what is the little black box top center just under the dash pad?

    I suggest first try a sealer like Alumaseal Stop leak powder or liquid. If your heater was not fully warm blowing out prior to a leak I suggest a chemical flush first then the sealer.
    Also I reversed hoses (back flush core) many times and got great heat. Also the Alumaseal has fixed many water pumps.

      Alumaseal is the best for sure. Seals quickly without plugging up system.

    Thank you for making this video. After watching it the 1st time I thought long and hard about tackling the leaking heater core in my 2003 1500HD. (Considered keeping a blanket in there.) Soooo, I watched it a couple more times and decided to dive in. It took me all day but it’s done and back together and working perfectly. The bag and tag method and a charpie marker to label the parts helped me a lot. Thanks again!

      I do the same plus put screws/bolts back in place when possible or put in different containers marked where they go. Looking at a pile of bolts can get tough remembering which bolts go where. Take steps to make sure hoses and wires are routed correctly.

    How much did you charge for this? My heater core works but it’s clogged with shit from a guy putting stop leak in system to fill hole in radiator, I flushed many times and used air compressors on the heater core spewing sludge out each time and hear works until I hit bumps or the sludge moves and clogs it. I want to fully clean the system out with some type of liquid and air compressors sucking or blowing. I need a solution that will get all the gunk out of it.

    Replace it then sealed it off with tar tape, in matter of 2 hours time ,

    This is honestly very similar to the 2010 Tahoe procedure.
    I did all the work, replaced the heater core, evap core and a couple actuators. put it all back together and it works. problem is, condensate is still coming into my cabin.
    I've got a straight through drain going from the bottom of that hvac box through the firewall, but I don't feel any thing stuck in drain, coming from the engine bay side. I stick a wire hanger in there like 3 inches and hit metal. I assume I'm hitting the bottom of the evap core but it doesn't feel like its going in far enough to hit the core. I guess I'll have to pull the dash again

    Nice video. I come across it looking for mice entry points into the HVAC on an 03 Suburban. I'm guessing the main home is around the evaporator, which does need replacing btw. I got most of the debris out through the vents, but there is still paper and such that will blow out sometimes. I did murder one in the blower awhile ago, and another in a trap a few weeks ago. But they keep coming. Where are these little bastards getting in at?
