Quick and Easy Ram 1500 heater core replacement

[@markjohnson6971]

After watching one video after another with different fixes I was about to loosen the evaporator box on my '01 Ram. Used your technique and it worked perfectly. Huge time and trouble saver. To describe it I would say put the heater core pivot lines close to the firewall holes. Angle the core vertically with the top at about the 10 o'clock position while keeping it in line with the with the box opening. Insert the lower left corner of the core into the box as low as it will go. Then pivot the core to the upright position. It takes a little pushing and pulling to clear the right edge of the box but it will go. Adjust the lines to fit exactly in the holes and push them through, then push the core down into the box. Lines should pivot while pushing down. Thanks!!!

[@NOVAtazz]

Glad it helped this is the exact reason i made the video as i got tired of finding all the hack ways

[@jamesjones4607]

Could you possibly remove the dash top? And then not remove the dash? I have this coming up on mine, but heat in the south in july is not a big need

[@NOVAtazz]

Its all one piece unless yours is busted

[@evanshivnen3074]

Aa!

[@zarekjones827]

Know I’m a bit late to the party but dose anyone know if you need to get air out of the coolant system after doing this by burping it or something? I’d assume the new core would have air in it witch would be back cycled into the coolant system any help would be appreciated

[@rolandorobles6871]

Being a heavy duty diesel mech, its nice seeing someone doing it the right way, sometimes i dont think people try so they cut for the easy rout, good job man.

My Nova heater core lasted 35 years, they just dont make stuff like they used too. I just wanted to say, "TRUE THAT BRO" and i am enjoying this video. Thanks for making it. I would rather watch a vid and do it myself than pay the dealership or car repair shop ungodly amounts of money. Sincerely, Thanks, man. Take-Care. Mike.

[@DMACHOLMAN]

Update Friday Sept 11 , I tried to get my heater core in and watched your video a few times and it's in !! After working on the truck one day a week for a month. We got more done in one afternoon than we have in a month. Thanks

Lol the hardest part is getting the dash out of the way n being a modular part its just some bolts n plugs just dont forget the gear indicator wire if you have an automatic

[@AJKayyyy]

Thank you so much for this man. My dad and I have been struggling on this fixing project for a while now and have been looking to videos for help. Everyone wasn't much help due to their tactic of cutting the hoses, so having your video show how to get it in easy with no cutting definetly made my dad very happy. He had wanted me to write you a nice note and thank you because of your much needed help. Thanks man!

Worked great on my 01 5.9 Ram also. Pointed a bright light in the engine compartment at the firewall to help navigate the pivot lines into the holes. MANY thanks!!!

[@mrjshdry2877]

Worked perfectly for my 1998 5.9 Ram. If the tubes and the heater core are started simultaneous and together that's the key. I went ahead and peeled back the foam above to give it a little more clearance. I cut the pipes and then pulled the hoses out to where it was near and close to remove stuck heater hoses easily. 3 hours without rushing and $35 heater core eBay. Cha Ching thanks for the video brother.

Glad i could help if it would intrest you we have a live chat every sunday at 9pm est and plenty more truck content so feel free to subscribe n like the video :)

[@helivesonforever]

Every forum I read they tell you to half-ass it with the clamps. I got mine in just like you did. Line the tubes up with the holes in the firewall first and wiggle the core and it'll eventually drop in. My old one was an original brass core so I just used a sawzall and cut the tubes. Pulled the core straight up and pulled the tubes out through the firewall. Took 90 minutes start to finish. I've done three this way now. No need to fuck with the AC unless you have a leaking evaporator core.

Best install video. I even added peel and stick weather striping to the sides of the heatexchanger for a tighter fit inside the housing so the fan air will not just try to go around the heat exchanger. Don't forget to wipe out all the leaked antifreeze that is in the bottom of the heat exchanger box before installing the new heat exchanger.

[@NOVAtazz]

Thank you n love the weather strip idea and the coolant clean up I thought was common sence so didnt include it

[@raydreamer7566]

I only added to clean out the leaked coolant in the housing because it is hard to see. I seen the puddle of coolant by just catching a glimpse of it the second time I installed the heat exchanger.

Merry Christmas! Bought a 98 about 6 weeks ago. It had minimal heat. Tried flushing/reverse, system cleaner neither worked. I'm far from mechanically inclined, though working in the auto glass biz for 6 years helped me be a little more adventurous. Plus the tech at our fingertips really helps. Anyway, I replaced the thermostat xmas eve, that didn't help with the heat, gasket was shot causing seeping. Ordered the same Spectra core. Your video helped quite a lot. I will say it seemed you had your dash out further than I could get mine. Plus it probably helps if you're small framed and not 280 lbs. Anyway, it was a struggle, and it took several attempts at getting the pipes and body lined up with the box just right. Probably took about 4-6 hours. Well worth the DYI, rather than the labor at a shop. I have heat now. Probably should have done the evap and the brittle vacuum lines, but it was getting dark. Managed to do a temp patch of vacuum lines using rubber fuel hose, so hopefully the "wild vents" are now controlled. The only thing I can add was a discovery after the job was done; it pertains to where the core pipes go through the firewall. It seems that the area is a single slot, rather than 2 separate holes for each pipe, thus meaning it shouldn't matter having to line the pipes up with firewall holes. Mine seems like there's just a foam insert that the pipes go through. Anyway, I got long winded here. As long as you have the tools noted, patience and time,it can be done. Oh, the core I replaced seemed to be the original from 21+ years/195k miles ago. Wasn't much corrosion, one small spot and the fins were rust colored though. Thanks Novatazz!

[@NOVAtazz]

Let me know how you fair

[@89starquest]

Thanks for this! I watched it before attempting the install in my '01. Unfortunately mine just wouldn't go so I had to make the cuts and use heater hose and clamps. When I did drop in the core and put the lines through the firewall, the cuts didn't line up well so I think the tubing bends/lengths were a bit off but at least the hose took up the gaps. My Dorito dash looks a bit worse now but glad I'm gonna have heat again and no more fogged windshield. Will know in the morning if all is good...

[@raydreamer7566]

Adding - also to remove and replace that hard to reach single screw holding down the second tube clamp closest to the firewall. Just pull back enough of the foam insulation at above the screw from the firewall near the screw to expose the spotweled seam that is in the way of loosening the screw. Then take a LONG shaft Philips screwdriver and shove it through the foam just above the screw that needs to be removed. So easy then just do in reverse to reinstall. No need to remove all the foam when just making a hole in the foam with the screwdriver above the hard to reach tube screw.

[@NOVAtazz]

Not sure I had that issue I'll have to go check

[@Shtevelhead]

I did some head-scratching when it came to that screw. My solution... Phillips head bit from a multi bit screw driver taped into a ratcheting wrench. Never thought to just punch through the foam.

[@elhuapo2524]

Thanx a million, good pictures and explanations. I'm smelling coolant in the cab of my 2001 Ram so I think I'm going to be doing this soon. If I could say, maybe you should keep more antifreeze in your coolant to stop that corrosion...? PS: Great idea to use the ratchet strap to hold the dash back!

[@NOVAtazz]

That corrosion was from before i bought the truck

[@elhuapo2524]

Yeah, too many folks just don't realize that keeping at least 50-50 antifreeze solves those crud issues and keeps the car from freezing and even some reduction in overheating. I get onto new projects that look like that with the cheap backflush kits from Walmart, they work well. That crud may be why you needed to get after the thermostat. But again, thanks for a great video on the heater core replacement, the last one I did was in a 50's era car---much easier. @@NOVAtazz

I didn't notice the ribbon ground attached to the heater core. If the last person who replaced it didn't put it back on that is why it fail so soon. Electrolysis between the aluminum and cast iron thru the coolant slowly pulls aluminum the walls of the core until so thin it leaks. Hope you saw that and put it back into place.

People complain because people are impatient, overwhelmed and trick them selves that it's more complicated than it really is. When you do that you are manifesting it to be more complicated than it really is and end up ripping, breaking, or busting things apart instead of finding all the screws bolts and hooks ultimately giving you more work to do things to replace and making the job harder than it actually is. Just breathe 😂

Hint on how to make your new heater core last....Use a good quality coolant/antifreeze premixed without using tap water to dilute the concentrated kind. Good anti-corrosion protection is the most important thing to make a radiator and heater core last.

[@esecuhchris6258]

Will this work for 2003 ram 1500 I seen them take off the steering wheel and the whole dash out

[@NOVAtazz]

Idk im pretty sure thats the next gen and may be similar but im sure its not exactly the same

[@WestCoastRoller]

So you didn't have to remove or loosen the blower unit assembly from the firewall? You were able maneuver the pipe lines through? One of the better videos on the subject thanks!

[@NOVAtazz]

+West Coast Roller no i didnt i left all that alone and yea i was frustrated with some of the videos i saw too thanks for the comment let me know how you made out

[@WestCoastRoller]

Thanks will do..... I'll probably make a video showing it. Cheers

I have a 96 Ram and am curious. Ive already replaced the upper part of my dash due to cracking and I can clearly see my heater core so would I be able to do this without removing the entire dash? Mine isn't leaking yet just curious for the future.

yea miss old cars go through glove box or go under.. new hose by the foot 30 min and done

[@kbob8424]

Did your happen to leak out the firewall from a vent tube behind the dryer?

[@NOVAtazz]

k bob the leak yes was on the out side bottom of the passanger of the fire wall the other giveaway was the fact that every time you started the truck you can hear the air gurgle underneath the dash

Awesome Job Bro! Is it this easy on a 2013 Ram 1500?? I sure hope so, Because everyone in their videos make it seem like you have to take half the front of the car off just to put something in so small as a heater core they made it seem very intimidating I was like hell to the no😂

[@NOVAtazz]

Honestly idk havent done one on that generation
