I've been watching a bunch of videos about this and you are the only guy that actually explains the right way to do it, instead of just showing pics of some rusty part and the whole dashboard taken apart.

[@dennispriddy4193]

Thank you so much for the video. Been helping my girlfriend get hers running after sitting for 8 plus years. Rebuilt throttle body, changed clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. Then, front brakes locked up. Put on new brake calipers and new rubber hose on one side, finally she got to drive it to gas station. While waiting on her to get gas, heater core started leaking in floor board, so this will be our next project. Thanks again.

[@rebecka2156]

This video probably saved my life. My truck was dropped off yesterday, and someone had already started to take out the heater core, and all they kept saying was, "I think we can get to it this way," and you did exactly what they were trying to tell me. I'll be doing that in a few hours now.

[@timballas1971]

You are the Man!!! I had to by-pass my heater core about 2 months ago, I couldn't drive my 92 S10 5 miles & there would be a puddle of antifreeze in the floorboard so I by-passed the heater core. Now I have a long day tomorrow, my heater core & evaporator core came in today so I have to replace both because of leaks. Thank you for the easy part, but there is no easy way to replace the evap-core, plus it is suppose to be in the 90s today. Guess I'll start early in the morn before it gets to hot. Good luck to all & let's keep the S10 nation rolling 1st or 2nd gen. Personally I prefer the square bodies, but to each their own. Stay safe, Peace, Love, & Happiness to All.

[@michaelcoleman8359]

excellent video now if I can get my 73 yo body down in there. If I hadn't watched your video I would not have tried it. I grew up with 1950-60 cars that were easy to work on. you rock

[@landonbiewald9966]

i lost it when you popped off the first hose. cant wait for you to get your truck done keep it up

[@RomanMeissner]

Thanks man hahaha, appreciate the support!

[@carolinefurness3536]

Great video ! I have an 1988 S10 Blazer with 418,000 miles...I love working on my truck and now I am exited to do the heater core now that I saw this video !

[@3SPCOD]

Caroline Furness 418!?

[@theunderdawg]

Still have that truck would love to know the mileage now 😁

[@joanlantz6259]

Thanks for helping a old man understanding how to,great video.

[@masbigdaddy3846]

This came out very helpful at a perfect time.I'm ready to do my heater core this weekend

[@tristanbollinger9182]

Bro the step by step location of bolts size of sockets dude 100% love this super confidence inspiring.

[@elizabethbrewer3587]

Thank you very much. I have a book and I can turn a wrench ,but sometimes it's easier to see it done. It was very helpful . Thank u

[@daltonholley5659]

I love how u edit your videos, they’re so funny yet informative

[@RomanMeissner]

Thank you! I hope to keep that format going for the channel!

[@coleramus561]

9:09--"Oh yeah, pieces breaking off, that's good!" The pieces he referred to are visible very briefly at 9:09 in the video where you can see the third screw hole on the top right that he broke. In order to remove this screw correctly, you HAVE to unbolt the dash to get a little room. It IS do-able. If this screw is intact in your dash, you will not be able to remove the plastic piece from the bottom without loosening the dash, most of the dash. This sixth screw is why all the other videos are actually correct when they indicate the dash must be loosened.

[@lilscarred8516]

I wish I would’ve read this before I broke that heater case

[@jacobsciarra5356]

From the future lmao, I got all the bolts but my case still won’t budge , any tips?

[@coleramus561]

@@jacobsciarra5356 If you're following this guy's video, there's another screw he doesn't tell you about--that screw I mentioned in my comment. Are you saying you already got that bolt? And you also have the dash unbolted?

[@jacobsciarra5356]

@ yup

[@jon-barretteverhart8242]

I agree, this was a really helpful video. I watched it twice and in less than an hour had the swap done. Thank you!!

[@jimmysturgeon4723]

Very helpful! THANX DUDE!

[@derekmcswain4190]

Im an old wrencher ....you can call me Manic Mechanic for obvious reasons😎🏴‍☠️ and you did an awesome job of explaining it so even i could understand! Bout to tackle my son's '91, well we'll do together. He's 33 but still my baby boy. Anyways thanks and keep on keeping on. Oh by the way, love your porn music 🤟😊

[@unwind4068]

This video, while it gave me the confidence to try this project. Even though I ended up completing it in the long run, it was way hard and very frustrating. Long story short I ended up ruining the first new part, had to cut the plastic on the enclosure to get the 2nd new part in and tore my hands up multiple times getting it back together. Even though it's back together the plastic didn't actually go back together because I would have had to take the front back off and cut it somewhere because the only way to get the straps back on was with the core maybe 3-5mm to the passenger side of how to should rest. this meant that part of the front piece rides on the core, preventing the plastic from seating all the way down near the door. I may yet take it apart one last time and cut the plastic more to see if I can get a better seal around the side. Very frustrating doing the job but your video is accurate as to pulling the old one out.

[@kyotra]

I'm running into the same issue - these damn aftermarket parts that every store recommends are the incorrect dimensions. I don't know what's going on but this is driving me up a wall.

[@jeffcorum665]

YES GOOD VIDEO. LIKE THE MECHANICS ATTITUDE AND MUSIC AND DECENT LIGHTING EVEN AN ARROW TO IDENTIFY THE RIGHT BOLT.

[@casanovajohnson]

Much appreciated man. Replacing the one in my 91 s10

[@chrispeden5749]

OMG thank you for this video! I thought I was screwed but this helped me realize how simple it actually is.

[@Barnacus]

Thank you, just picked up a 93, noticed coolant inside leaking. New I was gonna need to change this. Looks like an easy day!

[@haileehart8791]

You saved me $561 that the mechanic wanted to charge me so thanks! I live in Montana and winters coming and my heater core just quit on me.

[@krishorton5178]

Dude loved the video. Thanks alot. Both insightful and entertaining. 😎🤘

[@tammyhinson1064]

Thanks that helped alot I have to replace the heater core in my 89 S10 pickup

[@TomStedham]

Great video! My 2002 just started leaking; this video was very helpful.

[@alf8916]

Nice video doing this job on my 91 s15 ...im watching walking dead and it was a real drag watching you get bit carl you were my favorite character

[@musicupload8541]

care to do one on my 94 g-20 van?

[@brettdelgado1886]

Thanks man. The other videos all made it seem like a night mare

[@pl747]

The easiest heater core I have ever done was a 1971 Ford Galaxie. It is at the back of the engine compartment on the very top. Pull the two hoses off, which is real easy, pull 8 or 10 little screws and pull the metal cover off the top, and pull the heater core out of the box..I done my 88 S10 several years ago and it is no picnic.I pulled the end of the dash loose and back just a bit to keep from breaking things, like you did.

[@kahnercalleros8249]

Chill video bro. Doing a swap fore a new core on my 92 s10 blazer. Thanks for simple easy way

[@AYDRIAN95]

Had to do this in my 92 civic and had to take the whole dash out so seing this made me feel better 👍

[@honorfreedomfastcars]

Keep the videos coming bro! I'm on the edge of my seat to see the final product!

[@RomanMeissner]

Thank you so much!

[@antennasbc]

Thanks for the video. I just found a puddle of coolant in the passenger footwell. SO I need to do this and had no idea, thanks!

[@MikeMagatagan]

Thank you! This was a lifesaver for my '88

[@EternalChamp]

I actually lol’d at the gta wasted thing! Now I’m a loyal subscriber

[@herrero4270]

Thank you very much. Very usefull!!! I tought it would be more complicated.

[@Modern-Muscle-PNW]

Going to do this on my 84 jimmy this morning. Looks like fun.

[@earlwheeler5323]

Yeah man this helps a lot about to do my 1985 2.8 v6 it’s getting cold out!🥶🥶

[@obsoleteprofessor2034]

Doing one today. We bought a clunker and saw that the water lines had been looped. I couldn't find the nipples on the firewall. Thanks! Wobble suggestion... Use a flat blade screwdriver stuck in the back of the socket..wide enough to catch opposite corners of the drive (about 1/4 wide?) it will flop enough to go around corners and still torque. Use tape to keep from losing the socket.

[@jasonvigil2680]

Working on my 82 helpful video still a pain in the butt. Thnx

[@austonwimberly9213]

GREAT VID super easy , just replaced the heater core in my 91 s10

[@oswaldocaballero4]

Thanks for video now how do you close heated vents I have a 1991 Chevy s10

[@furrychewbacca7]

I just bought a 91 4cyl S10 and the previous owner had a leak and cut the heater hose lines. We cannot figure out where on the radiator and on the engine the heater hoses connect to. Do you have any way to explain where on the radiator and where on the engine the heater hoses connect to?

[@victorvalencia2737]

Thanks for video, I'll try have 93 GMC looking at the same job.

[@stricklandgarageaviation2864]

I would have liked to see you put the new core in. It looked like you had a problem getting the shroud out causing a ding in the old core.

[@tertessa]

Thanks for the information 👍

[@Keenymol]

Very helpful sir. Thank you very much!

[@tavo6881]

Was your heater core plugged up or was it leaking

[@appleuser4154]

Why replaced heater core? What are the signs? I’m loosing lots of coolant and I have wet floor passenger side

[@MotorheadLars]

There’s absolutely no way of getting the cover off the heater without breaking it unless you unbolt the dash and move it back like 4-6” I stuck a 2x4 in there to hold it back while I worked on mine.

[@boostedef89]

thanks man this helped a lot 👍🤟

[@mrjames2702]

I'm doing my heater core tomorrow wish me luck y'all
