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.

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.

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.

@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.

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?

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?
@ValleyMobileAutomotive
@ValleyMobileAutomotive Ай бұрын
@@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.

@ 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
@ValleyMobileAutomotive
@ValleyMobileAutomotive Ай бұрын
@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?

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!
