2001 Nissan Frontier Heater Core replace DIY!! EASY!!

[@Bk6634]

It works exactly like that. I just did mine yesterday . Took about 3 hours total. Mine has no cabin air filter though. I got a heater now . Thank you for the video.

[@ChristmanGarage]

Glad it helped, nice work!

[@redbay8527]

Great video, and thanks for calling out the socket size.

[@JonesMetalCraft]

Need to do this same job. Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@danielescobar7618]

Hi christman! Was doing a knock sensor job and broke the old plastic tube off. Thanks for the save

[@ChristmanGarage]

Awesome!👍

[@reneeseaton3889]

Thank you for posting! Need to get to working on mine!

[@ChristmanGarage]

Thanks for the comment👍

[@KingDavidson-k6d]

Thanks for the video. I just did the job. Would like to add that its best to slightly screw the top 2 screws into the heater core before sliding it back in. Then slide the black tube into those open face holes and put a bottom screw in. Then tighten them. Also anyone doing the jib should order the core with gasket included.

[@ChristmanGarage]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment

[@dwphillips42]

thank you for making this video. im getting ready to change my heater core in my old frontier. I always like to know if there's going to be any surprises.

[@ChristmanGarage]

Glad I could help

[@chief5981]

@@ChristmanGarageI e been putting mine off for several years but you just made this a breeze. My a/c is going out intermittently as well. Should probably consider replacing the compressor while I’m at it? (I’m assuming it’s the compressor)

[@chief5981]

Awesome man. Thank you so much for this.

[@ChristmanGarage]

Happy to help!

[@Chez-74]

Excellent thanks for showing this. I have the same problem on my d22 Navara 2003 2.5d.

[@ChristmanGarage]

Great to hear!👍

[@jerraldcanlas6395]

Hi, i have a question! So i recently bought a frontier a month ago and decided to check whats up with my heater. Found out the hoses are not connected anywhere from the heatercore. I would like to know where the bypass is at, thank you!

[@ChristmanGarage]

Normally if someone bypasses the heater core they would disconnect hoses at firewall and connect them together with a union👍 maybe this helps

[@joshuahargrave57]

Would you happen to know if this is the same procedure for the first gen xterra (2001)

[@ChristmanGarage]

I’m unsure but it’s very likely it’s the same

[@trebochet]

After watching your video I’m going to have a better time doing it. thanks bro!

[@nils4137]

Is this the same for a Pathfinder of similar age? VQ 3.5L engine...

[@ChristmanGarage]

Highly likely if the dash is designed the same

[@DavidHernandez-ue4fz]

Did you replace it?

[@touficyahchouchy8229]

hello, what is the brand of these tubes? and are they still good till now?

[@ChristmanGarage]

I think the tubes where Murray brand and as far as I know they are still good 👍

[@touficyahchouchy8229]

@@ChristmanGarage it is better to change the heater core or the tubes only?

[@joseanvazquez9653]

Good job i learn so much and i can do it and save Money thanks bro

[@adriandelacruz545]

Thank you very very very much, you save the day brother

[@ChristmanGarage]

Happy to help👍

[@drock55551]

Are 2015 frontiers the same?

[@randonprochnow3125]

Any idea if a '98 Pathfinder would be similar?

[@ChristmanGarage]

If the dash looks the same on the outside it is highly likely

[@whamo1966]

What brand heater core did you use? I understand that most aftermarket cores are too thick on the tank ends to install this way.

[@ChristmanGarage]

yes you are correct some of them are too large on the ends, I get most my heater cores from O’Reillys and they sell “Murray heater cores” the Murray one was a perfect fit👍

[@whamo1966]

@@ChristmanGarage thanks, just completed this job on a 2002 pathfinder with the 3.5 liter. I used the Frontier “Murray” core from Oreillys. The pathfinder core has fixed aluminum tubes that don’t allow replacement without removal of the entire dash. By cutting those off, using the Frontier style core and replacement plastic style tubes I was able to replace with removing the entire dash. It does require massaging the heater hoses.

[@ChristmanGarage]

@@whamo1966 thanks that’s good to know👍

[@DavidHernandez-ue4fz]

@@whamo1966 You meant you removed the entire dash,or NO removed the entre dash,I have same vehicle as you and I was thinkin to replace heater core,thanks

[@whamo1966]

@@DavidHernandez-ue4fz I did not remove the dash but I had to cut the old heater core tubes off to remove it. I installed the Murray Frontier core with new outlets. The heater hoses and the firewall grommet don’t fit that great but it works. FYI, you need the heater outlets (tubes), seals, and screws.

[@jorgecabrera9667]

Is it the same for a 2000 frontier??

[@HitMarkGod]

Would this be the same for an 02 xterra?

[@ChristmanGarage]

I’m not sure but if the dash looks the same on the outside it should be👍

[@sidneycarpentero5429]

Thank you for your help this video is very helpful..

[@ChristmanGarage]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SCfanIam100]

Any chance this procedure is the same for a 2017 Frontier?

[@ChristmanGarage]

I doubt it I did a newer model a few years back and I had to remove entire dash😥

[@juandiegoflores2486]

Entire dash

[@ImJhark_]

Dang my heater hoses in engine bay broke because how old they are might give this a try tho

[@Chan70815]

Thank You plenty

[@JesusAlberto-i1i]

En donde lo en cuentro

[@johnstrickland2530]

thank you sir.

[@BudStudmuffin]

Evacuate the A/C? You said this was easy DIY

[@ChristmanGarage]

Yeah that’s the worst part but not bad at least you don’t have to tear the entire dash apart👍

[@alecb8509]

Before i had my recovery machine, i went to a shop that did all my ac charging. I would bring a car to them, they would vac it down for me. I would do the repairs and then bring it back to recharge the a.c.. They would only charge me for a standard a.c. charge.

[@rebelrose9061]

How the heck you get the top screw on!!!!! I'm so annoyed

[@ChristmanGarage]

It’s tricky but if you have patience and take your time it can be done. I have small hands that probably helps a lot 👍

[@Ffffffjjjjjj9555]

It's a lot of work, how much do you charge to do a job like this, thanks, good video

[@Robboned]

Just did this on a Gen 2 version, not as fun for sure.
