Heck, I will.

Happy March boys and girls.

 

bah another month till i reach that age i always joked about not living to see.

 

Okay Misery, how much effort is involved in pulling a heater core? Old Rusty's a '91 F 150 XLT Lariat 302 E4OD. Yes it has (non working) A/C. Not even sure that's my problem, just a guess. Every time I turn the heater on I get a STRONG coolant smell. Wet days, doesn't clear the windshield, just adds to the fog already there. SO FAR the floor seems to be staying dry. Opinions? Suggestions? Advice(always needed)? Summer IS coming, I just know it is. If I can limp through the rest of winter, may attempt it this summer when I won't miss it. May be a possibility, he's back at Tech School. (I'm lazy, didn't want to mess with repacking the bearings in this sHtuff) for front brakes, pads & rotors (warped), doing the bearings & seals while they're right there. Plus some other small stuff. Teacher said probably 2 - 3 weeks as they only have 1 day per week in the shop the next 2 - 3 weeks.

 

Definitely sounds like a heater core. I've never done one on these trucks and hoping I don't have to.

 

Ok its is at least March (6:30 AM) where I am ya bunch of early birds.

 

The 80-96 trucks are the easiest ford truck ever to change the heater core, 30 mins or less!

 

So mom decided to move today! so we packed and moved her in 3 hours, she is now staying with me tell she gets the new place. I now remeber how much I hate moving! Thanks for helping last year Rich!

 

What are FTE friends for and thanks to Lee for the extra hand also, besides I got a bunch of Ford parts out of the deal.

 

i beleave i fixed my leak for the moment that i posted about in the old thread. Retightened the bolt that went through the water pump into the timing cover and block and wrapped the engine out pretty good and i didn't see a stream of coolant spraying out of it all over everything so i suppose thats a plus. blew out my plug i was using for my powersteering pump cap that came in the new pump since i didn't have one now i gotta find some place that can actually get one for me.

 

Good morning MO!
Its tuesday so have a great day!

 

Good Morning MO!

Happy New Month and Tuesday!

 

There's no way it's March already. The older I get, the faster it goes.

 

I'm sure with A/C it's a different story, but my '79 was SUPER easy. It took longer to burp the air out of the cooling system than it did to change the core. The easiest one I ever did was a '70 Ford LTD with air. 4 minutes start to finish and I was taking my time. The core is under the hood behind a tin plate held on with two sheet metal screws. Undo the hoses and pull straight up. Why can't everyone do that??

 

2 heater hoses, and about 10 1/4 screws remove panel and pull core.

 

G mernin all and happy March.
