Hey Guys, Has anyone done a heater core replacement on a 1996 F350 with A/C ? I have the glove box out and the abs control module are out of the way, is there more pieces that need to come out? any input would be appreciate as I start this removal tomorrow, Thanks Mike

Remove the glove compartment.
From inside the passenger compartment, remove the seven screws that attach the heater core cover to the heater air plenum chamber.
Disconnect the vacuum source. Leave the A/C plenum vacuum harness attached to the heater core cover. Remove the heater core cover.
Remove the heater core from the heater air plenum chamber.

One of the easier cores to do...

Good Luck n have fun!

BTW, it's common sense to me but I rather just mention it, make sure to drain coolant from radiator first, then disconnect hoses from engine compartment after drained. I hate to see a mess in passenger area from me failing to mention.
