Heater Core!!!!
Have determined my heater core has bought the farm. Nothing worse then a dead fish in a sauna, especially at highway speeds.
Does anybody have tips, hints, suggestions, tricks to R&R the heater core, aside from hiring somebody else top do it?
'94 Ranger std cab, 2.3l, 2wd.
Any and all help/suggestions are appreciated.
Now I know you all are thinking 'A heater in Phoenix,az?' kinda like a freezer in Alaska. At times it does get cold for this desert native.

I think you are in luck in that on the '94 and earlier models you don't have to remove (or pull back) the entire dash to get at the heater core. Haynes Manual has the procedure set out pretty good.

Ok that wa a heck of alot EASIER than I thought it would be. Thumbs up to the guy at FORD for making it so. Too bout 40min from start to finish, now if only other repairs could be so easy.
Thanks for the tips.
